MFS answered Thursday October 27 2005, 8:53 pm: It depends on the experience of your teacher and what you want to get out of the lessons - as well as how long the lessons are. Also, group lessons vs. individual lessons will factor in.
A more experienced teacher will cost you more than a new teacher. Long lessons will cost more than short ones. Individual lessons are more expensive than group ones.
I've seen some teachers as cheap as $10/hour. I've seen some that cost over ten times that.
All I can suggest is that you shop around. Find out what rates seem to be in your area (I guarantee that lessons will cost differently from city to city). Make sure you not only get rates, but talk to the teachers - ask them about their lessons, their methods... doing this will also give you a taste of their personality - hard to take a lesson from someone you can't stand.
