How much for private music lessons?

[BlingLoving]

Dh is considering offering private music lessons as a few people have asked him. Not formal so he wouldn't be doing training for exams etc. what's a std price? He was thinking £15 for 45 mins?

What are his qualifications and experience?

I pay £20 for 30 minutes - piano and voice. They do the AB exams.

It does vary according to the area.

£15 for 45mins is decent, but as Colleger asked, What experience and qualifications does he have? And just wondering, who are the kinds of people is he going teach (children, friends, etc). And what is instrument is he going to teach?

I pay £9 for 30 minutes for DD's guitar lessons, but we don't live in an affluent part of the world.

The Musicians Union rate is £30 per hour plus travel if you don't teach at home. Personally I think if you are going to teach you should be experienced musician and/or qualified teacher. My dcs teachers charge £15 per half hour.

I charge £12 for half hour, £15 for 45 mins and £20 for an hour.

These are my 'best rates' as I am just starting to get more private pupils after being made redundant in a classroom job.

Lookat music.teacher.com to help with rates?

£15 for 30 mins here, for experienced, qualified teacher who also teaches in all the local private schools and [much more importantly for jazz-mad DS] also conducts a jazz ensemble...

I would expect any lessons given by an unqualifed teacher - so one without teaching / music qualifications and with no experience - to be significantly cheaper, and tbh would avoid such a teacher unless they were in an instrument e.g. 'rock/pop/non-classical' drums, electric guitar where experience in a band might be more appropriate than formal qualifications.

I don't think there should be a different level of expectation in terms of experience & knowledge for "contemporary" instruments such as Drums or Electric Guitar, as suggested above. The demands of playing those instruments properly require expert tuition in just the same way as Classical instruments do.

Hence, you should expect to pay £25+ p/h pro-rata. There is also the issue of CRB clearance to consider.
