All About Piano Lesson Costs

[weesen]

Hi all

I’m looking for an experienced piano teacher to come to my place (Tiong Bahru area) to teach my P1 son. He has been taking lessons at Yamaha and Cristofori, but hasn’t taken any exams yet. We prefer the lessons to be in the weekday mornings (any day from Mon-Thur).

For those who have good teachers to recommend, I’d appreciate a PM.

Thanks!

Cheers
Wee Sen

Pls do not engage Joanne Chiew as a private music tcher. She is unscrupulous and capitalise on parent’s music ignorance and registers children in unaccredited and unrecognised music exam brd (or issue fake cert). She is currently a musc tcher in Sonare music sch in sengkang. It’s a scam. Beware.

I have heard a lot about private teachers doing house work while teaching, wearing their night gowns and teach etc


So I am a little scared of all these nonsense. I rather go to a school, and I know the teachers are a little more serious and professional at a proper work place.

Just my 2 cents.

Can someone here advise…is $95 per mth for 1/2hr piano lesson reasonable? and ya, one to one lesson.

This is close to the 'per hour' rate I usually charge beginners for home tuition. But my lesson is 45min and I do student concerts about twice, annually.

Hi, this is my first posting in Forum. I am looking around for a piano teacher for my 3+ year old child, and I have been quoted $160 per month for 1/2 hour lessons at home. This sure seems steep compared to the rates mentioned here.

Yup that's high, that price is usually charged for 45min lesson an by a very experienced or either she has high qualifications for that 30mins class

The experience, the qualification and the "demand" will determine the charges. You have to take into account that the teacher is traveling to your place too. Do make sure she does have the experience and qualification to justify the fee charges she is charging, if you are planning to engage her services. As a benchmark, most of the experienced and qualified teachers will be charging around the region of $30 per half hour lesson if you go to their place.

Hi I am paying $140 per month to travel to piano teacher’s hm and she is following yamaha holiday schedule so there may be 3 lessons in a mth but still pay the same for the 45 mins. Is this reasonable?
