To a millionaire a $10,000 couch is no biggie, but to a regular person&#8230;well let&#8217;s just say that couch better grow gold. One thing that you can rely\u00a0on is that cheap teachers will be a lot less experienced than the more expensive teachers, usually. But how cheap is too cheap? What is normal? Let&#8217;s have a look at some price ranges and what you will find behind them. Keep in mind that the prices below are per hour, so if price is a problem, you can always take 30 or 45-minute lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u2022 <strong>TIER 1 &#8211; $15\/hr:<\/strong> These will usually be high school students trying to make some extra change. Depending on your skill level this might suit your needs. Usually, it&#8217;s not enough and I highly advise against it, primarily to avoid building bad habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u2022 <strong>TIER 2 &#8211; $20-$25\/hr:<\/strong> College freshman and sophomores charge this much depending on their experience. Some really, really good high schoolers might charge this much too. This could be a good starting point for middle schoolers who can&#8217;t afford much more but still want to start taking lessons. If you\u2019re really serious I suggest going to tier 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u2022 <strong>TIER 3 &#8211; $30-$45\/hr:<\/strong> Here, depending on the area you live in,\u00a0you will start to find good teachers with experience. For example, $40\/hr in Columbia, South Carolina will get you a Master&#8217;s student, but in New York City it might get you a college freshman. To be clear, that&#8217;s 5-6 years difference of experience.\u00a0This is a good price range for affordability and a decent teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u2022 <strong>TIER 4 &#8211; $50-$65\/hr:<\/strong> This is your price range for a very good teacher. This is the teacher that will get you places if you are willing to work. Some college professors charge in this range, people with Master&#8217;s and Doctoral degrees in music or people with a ton of playing and teaching experience do too. The low end works for small cities and the higher range for slightly bigger places. This is my personal recommendation for a really good teacher that will set you on the right path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u2022 <strong>TIER 5 &#8211; $65-$85\/hr:<\/strong> Here we are talking nationally known teacher, player or both. These people usually, but not always, either teach in a university or hold a position in a very good symphony orchestra. The top end of this price range will be for bigger cities like Dallas or Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">\u2022 <strong>TIER 6 &#8211; $90\/hr and up:<\/strong> This is &#8220;famous&#8221; status. I once paid $150 for a lesson with Terry Everson (super awesome player in Boston, look him up) and it was a great lesson, but it hurt a little bit to pay that much. So, this level of lesson is what I consider a treat or special occasion. Use it wisely.\u00a0Unless of course you\u2019ve got it like that, then by all means, splurge and send some donations to THQ!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">So there you have it. Remember that some of these can be greatly affected by where you live, experience the teacher has and the demand of teachers. In a very small city or rural town you might find a fantastic teacher for the &#8220;tier 3&#8221; price. I hope this break down helps you and\/or your parents figure out how much is fair, and maybe it will also help you establish how much to charge for your own studio!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\"><em>* * *<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0066ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0066ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpetheadquarters.com\/best-trumpet-warmup-guide-exercises\/\">SUBSCRIBE<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to my newsletter for the best warmup guide and exercises.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"color: #2f2933;\">Plus stay up to date on the latest sales, blogs and news.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text font_size=&#8221;18&#8243; line_height=&#8221;30&#8243;]This one is tricky because &#8220;expensive&#8221; means different things to different people.
