Lessons: Hour or half-hour? and rates?

[Gman]

Man do I feel lucky ! You guys are making me happy.

I've taken lessons from 4 different "instructors". Most couldn't teach a fish to swim. I got very lucky, and found a BIT trained guy here in town, who gives lessons out of his house for $20 per hour. Unfortunately for him, he is physically disabled, and couldn't gig if he wanted to. He probably could charge more. Average cost is $13 per half hour. I really believe that he just loves to teach, and is very good at it.

Hey Gman, I believe we have the same instructor, in fact, i'm sure we do. And yes, I feel very lucky to have found him also. I agree, he could charge more if he wanted to. I'd pay it.

what night of the week are you there? i'm on mondays. Maybe i'll see sometime.

My guitar teacher; John kicks ass. He was never in a big band but he was one of the session players on Top Of The Pops (I think) and he played with a lot of famous people. He's a really good teacher and charges £10 for half an hour which I believe is $14.50. I don't know if you'd call it cheap or expensive but It's definetley worth it.

First of all if you teacher count's your plugging in, tuning up, and packing up, into your half hour or even hour lesson then the guy is a di*k.

My lessons are 45 bucks a month for half an hour a week. However the lessons usally go around an hour because my teacher usally gets so into it that he doesnt want to stop. But hey I'm not complaining.
