All About Piano Lesson Costs
-
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. -

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.
Woah, this is my first time hearing such a school! :censored: -
Hi Mommies,

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.

Thank you very much and have a nice day -
Is a very interesting forum. I would like to share my opinion. I’m a piano teacher which I don’t have a diploma in music. I’ve been teaching for 14 years.
After so many years of teaching, I reckon be it qualification, experience, teaching method, timing and etc. most importantly is the chemistry between the teacher and the student.
1st- if there is no chemistry between student and teacher no matter how good is the teacher, the student will still lost the interest or rather need a push factor to carry on.
2nd- no matter how low and how flexible is the teacher willing to be or how enthusiastic the student is, the chemistry is still important in order to made the lesson fun and interesting.
However, as for the fees, I guess is varies and it depends on varies of reasons.
1st- etiquette of the teacher
2nd- transportation cost
3rd- experience and qualification of the teacher
Lastly, when a parent looking for a piano teacher or any other teacher, I guess it must depends on what are the parent looking for in terms of the teacher.
Good luck to all
