      One of school I work in still allow their students to waive their fees when they are away during their school term break or to replace lesson whenever they need to attend parties. I have gradually cut down on the hours of teaching there.

      As a matter of fact, my kids' current music school operates on a booking-by-lesson basis. Should we have any changes in plans, we can call them up (at least one day in advance) to reschedule the lesson.

        For good piano teachers with qualifications of Diploma, Licientiate etc the rates are 200-250 for grade 1 all the way to 5. It’s becoming a more popular way of charging instead of gradual increment from grade 1,2,3,4,5 etc. This is because many of my students move very quickly and jump grades 2,4,6 and it is easier to charge at standard rate for the lower grades. I’m a piano teacher myself and I know a circle of teachers who does this standard rates.


        As for the holiday fee, I know that my piano teacher charges the fee paid for holidays but no lessons policy since she is a full time piano teacher. But I believe its fairer to charge per lessons, which is why i choose to have fees paid every 4 lessons to be fair to parents. Contact me through pm for piano lessons.

          Woah, this is my first time hearing such a school! :censored:
          Only a few students request for leave to attent party occasionally but numbers do add up. Esp. When they request for makeup in the evening.

              I charge per lesson but I know many other teachers charge like music schools for a more steady income.

              Interesting discussion on fees by various piano teachers. Good to see the perspective of various teachers 😉

              Initially we paid dd's piano teacher at beginning of each month. 5th week no lesson. Then along the way, she cancel lesson or my dd cancel lesson. Actually more often is teacher cancelling lesson because she has diploma students too so if near her dip students exam she focus more on those students. Or she not feeling well or busy. Then lesson will be postponed to the following week.

              Unless near exam period otherwise dd is not keen in make up lesson. We attended make up lesson once but half way another child arrive & join in, somehow become group lesson. So we prefer to stick to our regular time slot, at least no such interruption.

              Anyway, it kind of get messy to keep track after several months. So we told teacher we will pay every 4 lessons for ease of calculation. She agreed. We record down the lesson dates & paid promotly automatically. Doubt she is even keeping track. She is a wonderful teacher, just somewhat disorganised.

              No idea what's her fees arrangement with other students though.

                  Dear parents/readers,


                  I am Steven, a local piano teacher of 8 years experience. I have a Licentiate (Distinction) degree in both Piano performing and Teaching by the Associated Board Royal School of Music. Over the past years I have produced distinction students in the two piano schools I worked in. As I am currently shifting my priority to my own private students, I am recruiting piano students whom I would like to nurture and teach.

                  I have taught Beginner's course/Grade 1 to Diploma (both Trinity and Royal Board) students ranging from 5 to 19 years old (as well a 35 years old adult too!), sent them for concerts, practical and theory exams as well as the O levels.

                  I live in Ang Mo Kio and teach at home usually, unless the student's place is in the vicinity. The prices of the piano lessons will go according to the usual market rates (details will be given at request).

                  I enjoy working with children and young adults, and am generally looking into developing interest and music appreciation whilst training techniques in interested students:) And yes, in case you are wondering, I have spent many years with NAFA's school of young talents.

                  If you are interested in sending your child/yourself to piano lessons under me or would find out more, please send me a private message or email me at [email protected]. I will kindly answer any queries/requests.

                    Dear all,


                    I am going to start a paper analyzing various factors that contribute to poor learning and ways to rectify them. To this end, I am looking to accept students who have attempted grade 3 or above practical exam and scored either a fail or just slightly above pass (100-110 for ABRSM). If your children fit into this description or you know anyone who does, I will be more than happy to accept you and help you out. As a token of appreciation, I will provide discounted fees for 3 months worth of lessons.

                    Charles Wu
