their piano performance level, and the location of the lessons.
If the teacher has a non-piano-related Bachelor's music degree, such as voice, expect to pay less than for a piano teacher with a Bachelor's degree
in piano performance and piano pedagogy. If the teacher has a Master's in piano, expect to pay between $60 and $90 per hour.
If moreover the teacher has a significant career as a classical performer or is nationally / internationally awarded in competitions, then the cost
raises significantly, up to $200 or more per hour!
