How much should I charge?

[DarkHippie]

A teacher at a school i sometimes work at asked if i would give her son guitar lessons? How much should i charge?

[EliSnow]

Two meatballs a lesson?

Wait, that was the rate in the 1980's. It's probably 4 meatballs a lesson now.

[JerseyRich]

$25/hour

[djanallightbulb]

I charge 25 an hour

[topless_mike]

depends on how hot she is.
if she's at least an 8, then a hummer would suffice.

if she is < an 8, then like, 25/lesson.

[SatCam]

I say if she is less than an 8, work out a deal combining both favors and money. Take what you can get

Two chickens and a suckling pig.

Oh, you're so incorrigible with your Adam Sandler movie references!

So? Is the son also paying? I think we're to assume that mommy's paying.

It depends also whether or not you actually want to give him lessons. If someone asks me to babysit, and I don't really want to, I'll charge more. If she's nice, and her kid's not a jerk, then maybe you don't charge as much. Maybe give him the first lesson free to see how hard a job it's going to be, then decide what to charge. Good luck with all that!

I've been doing it for years as supplemental income. It really does help. Brings in between 100-200 extra a week. If you can get a few folks then it can help.

Best of luck sir

I am thinking that i might charge 30, cause I live in rockland county, where everything is more expensive. Also, she said that the kid is a lil hyper

You, sir, work cheap.

Is that per lesson (hour)? Is it a regular scheduled time once a week? What does your skill level dictate that you can charge? I have no idea, just throwing out a few things for consideration.

[TheGameHHH]

start at 30, look out for number 1

That was the number that immediately came to mind... I've wanted to get into giving piano lessons for a while now, just not sure where to start to get that rolling. I'll probably continue wanting to do it. Anyway, that's the hourly rate I always thought I'd charge if I did it.
