Sorry folks, but I disagree.
Personally think, depending on what you want from lessons you do not have to pay £15. You would probably have tp pay at least £10 for half an hour privae tuition.
However loads of things are out there:
*Ask at your local music shops of they do group lessons (can be really fun and often much cheaper)
*Music students are often much more patient and flexible in my experience. And I think flexibility is the way to get around expensive lessons.
I teach ina sixth form in a fairly deprived area of UK. We fund some of lessons and of course require good quality. However we have many students who wish to learn singing/keyboard/guitar on the side. I.e. not as their main isntrumnet but to gain extra skills and therefore they don;t get funding. Flexibility is how we manage it. Many students pay £20 an hour but have less lessons and get 'homework' and backing track CDs to help them practise. SO they pay only £10a fortnight. SOme have group lessons that can be only £5 a lesson.
If your daughter fancies a go to see how it goes this would be fine. I taught piano to youger kids and adult begginers from when I was around 15 and about grade 6/7. I told parents I was cheaper as I was less experienced but that I had guidence from my own music teacher (ask them about this), had no overheads as they can to my house but that I had excellent references as an enthusiastic, hardwoking tutor. Looking back I sold myself appropriately of you see what I mean.
Seems such a shame not to have a go if any ofthe options above are possible.
WHat are of UK do you live?
