At the moment I pay £4.75 for 20 mins lesson at school for eldest dd (11), she's not progressed very well and is bored by the teacher (she is not alone in this). How much should I expect to pay for her to either go to some-one elses house or for some-one to come here? The only price I have so far is £16.50 for a teacher to come here for 30 mins. Compared to the schools price this seems astromnomical (sp??)

That sounds about right for here , including lessons provided by the LA.

That sounds about right Peacenow. It's what my sil charges iirc - we don't pay for our lessons :o

£15 for 45mins but I think it would normally be at least £25 possibly more- the teacher was new to the area and trying to drum up business, happily for us as she is very good.

I pay £13 per half hour, at the teachers home (which is just around the corner, and I leave them there).

£4.75 is very cheap, even for a school I think. I pay £8 for a 20 minute and £10 for a half hour instrumental lesson at school, although I do get free hire of one of the instruments too.

Between £20-£30 per hour depending on the experience/qualifications of the teacher.

£4.75 is extremely cheap and says to me that the lessons are ether subsidised heavily by the school or the teacher is unqualified.
