      May I say that I am pleasantly shocked with your charges? One young teacher with grade 8 qualification and 3 years of 'teaching experience' quoted me $110 or so per hr for beginners. With your qualifications, I would expect your charges to be higher than hers. 😄



      PS: I didn't engage her as her teaching wasn't impressive.

      Did you mean $110 for 4 one hour lessons instead? Some of the top teachers in Singapore charge lesser than that for diploma lessons.

      LOL ... Cannot be S$110 per hour. That would be quite outrageous!

          Hi, I’m looking for a piano teacher near katong area for my 4.5yo son. Willing to go to teacher’s home. Have a keyboard at home for the time being, but may buy piano if son’s interest is sustainable. Anyone has teachers to recommend? Would appreciate some help here. Thanks.

              My kids’ piano teacher increased 45% of her fees per month from foundation to grade 1 (she said all her new students will be based on new rates even for foundation). Both my kids were learning from her…the burden i had now. She said it will increase further for Grade 2.


              I find that the increase is too much and thinking of changing another piano teacher. As i do not know music at all, i not sure how good she is…

              What is the market rate now for Grade 1 45 mins at student’s place?

                Through recommendation, I just confirm with a pte teacher to come to my place to teach my DD2 who has zero knowledge about piano 😉


                Charge: $130 for 4 lessons and each lesson is 45 minutes. Fee excluding material which she sms said is $18.

                  When i was learning piano, my teacher told me that generally fees will play a part to determine the teacher’s effort. I used to think does that means if i am paying lesser i get lesser attention? But now i understand that when a parent is paying a higher fee than market rate, the teacher will unknowingly be stressed and liable to make sure the fees paid are accountable.

                  Ultimately, i would say as long as the you think the what you paid for is worth it then its fine =]. My piano fees were expensive, but i felt it was worth it.

                      True. An oral specialist once assure me before the operation \"Relax. Let me do take over the worrying for you.\" My mouth doesn't hurt at all. But my heart doe$.

                        Can work both ways also. Cheaper fee could also mean the parents have lower expectation of the teachers. So less stress in teaching 😛
