Consider the costs of traditional piano lessons. First, there is the cost of the lessons themselves. Piano teachers charge around $1 a minute, sometimes up to $100 or more an hour, for each lesson you or your child takes. $100 a week is a lot for families to afford.
And if you have more than one child learning piano, then you need to multiply the cost of piano lessons for each student. Then, there is the cost of books. And make sure you don’t miss a lesson, or you might be charged anyway. Add to this the cost of travelling to the piano lessons. (Some students in remote areas cannot access a piano teacher at all.)
These are just the obvious costs. Consider also the opportunity costs. What else could you be doing with your time while travelling to and from a traditional piano lesson?
In light of all this, it’s little wonder many parents these days say that piano lessons are an unaffordable luxury that the family, regrettably, must do without.
