I've mostly taught myself piano for almost two years by reading online about different techniques and things. I also take music classes at school, but I feel that to truly make progress, I need a proper teacher. I've heard lessons are expensive, though, and was wondering how much I should expect to pay? How frequent are lessons? Also, would you recommend private or group lessons?
Yeah. i would definitely take private lessons, you learn at your own pace that way. I'm from a small town so i was lucky enough to get lessons at only $5 for 30 minutes. i know, hard to believe but she was a really nice lady who just really enjoyed teaching. I can't find lessons for that cheap anymore. But, recently i started taking lessons at college. That might be something you could look into because the extended education programs in some colleges offer lessons to anyone willing to learn and not just the students. I took them and the lessons were given by students majoring in piano or music but the good part is that the lessons are considerably cheaper compared to other instructors. Let me know if this helps. I didn't mean to write a book though. sorry.
well, i pay $16 per 30 min lesson, and that is fairly well priced. i have also taken lessons with someone for $15 for 30.... amd ive also taken lessons for $21 for 30 min... so prices range
Well my last teacher that I took lessons from was $35 for an hour. But I recently changed and the one I have now is $50 for a half hour. which is really expensive but he works at Julliard. So it varies a lot which can depend on the persons experience.
