Also, appreciate it if someone could PM on the discount. Thanks.

Hi Dreamaurora,


Thanks much for your advice.

Hi Dreamaurora, u’ve got mail.

I am still on the lookout for a piano teacher and would appreciate recommendations. I am residing in the north and I don’t mind travelling to the teacher’s place if it is nearby. Thanks.

Thanks for the reference links, titank and peanut_butter.

It seems that there is a range of rates charged by piano teachers in the market. "Demand for the teacher" is something that is difficult to quantify and is determined by the "feel" of the teacher. As a parent, I would like to understand and further nail down the dynamics of the ever-evolving rates.


I have the following questions:

a) What is an experienced and qualified teacher? How many years of experience and what qualifications are we actually talking about?


b) Related to question (a), as the qualifications and experience of each teacher is different, how much premium would be expected for (i) each year or at least each few years of experience; and (ii) each level of qualification.

E.g. say the normal rate is $100 for monthly beginner and grade one lessons of 45 min, a teacher would charge $20 more for her diploma, $20 more for having 5 years of experience and $10 more for having taught many students who passed with distinction. Hence, charge total of $150 per month.


c) Is there an official table of rates published by any piano teachers’ body or association etc, which can be used as a guide for the general public, on the average to pay for the respective grades for 1-1 lessons and at teacher’s place, and also for the teachers’ experience and qualifications?


Appreciate it if both parents and piano teachers can advise. Thanks.

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.

A very big HELLO to everyone! This is daffyhan reporting.

Hope you have had a great start to the new year thus far!
