Somewhere in the vicinity of $40 to $60 per hour, though she may start out
with 1/2 hour lessons. I started my boys with group lessons, which were
cheaper. One stuck with it (and now plays saxophone in high school, with
marching band in the fall), the other had no interest in in practicing.

Wow, 20 years ago my mom paid $5 for each weekly lesson. Half hour
from what I remember.

That would be about $10 per hour.... When the boys started lessons over a 12
years ago they were closer to $20/hour, and gasoline cost lots less also (it
is getting close to $3/gallon). Music teachers also have to pay for the
rising cost of living. My daughter's violin lessons have always been a bit
higher, presently her weekly lessons (with one group per month) are $175 per
month, which is a little less than the Suzuki program across the street from
her teacher's studio.
