I'm with Randy. Start charging at least $40 with new students, preferably
$50, and start increasing what you charge your current students as well. You
may want to raise them incrementally to make it easier for them to adjust.
There is NO WAY I could pay 50.00 per lesson. And of course a shrink would
tell you to sock it to people....that's whata shrink does as well. I still say
teachers should charge what the market will bear...and too right Richard Miller
would be LUCKY to exchange a coconut for a voice lesson on a dessert island! I
would NEVER pay anyone with a BA 50.00 a lesson. I don't care how long that
person was teaching...I myself have two BA degrees, and I am NO expert on either
subject. I would pay more to take lessons from someone who was a tenured
faculty member or who everyone raved about...but credentials and education
count.
