For a beginner, most people choose to have one-on-one class with their instructor. The pricing rate of a piano tutorial greatly depends on the qualifications, educational attainment and the expertise of your piano instructor. You should expect a higher tutorial fee if your instructor has a Master's Degree or even higher. A private tutorial is perfect as a beginner student because your instructor can give you comments immediately, tell you what mistakes you did; and appreciate, and complement you if you did great. Usually, the private lesson involves reviewing your assignment, learn a theory involved on the piece that you are working on, then playing the musical piece so the instructor can listen to it and comment about your performance and then the instructor playing the musical piece so you would know how to play it using proper techniques.
For a normal weekly thirty-minute piano lesson, the fee can be as low as 15 US dollars and it can be as high as $35, all depending on the rate of your instructor, the location of your class and the other related piano services that your professor might offer you. The lesson can even cost you more if your piano teacher has higher qualifications and teaching experience. It can range from $40-75 USD.
There are also group lessons that you might want to avail. Small group sessions for piano lessons can averagely cost from 25 USD to 55 USD. The lesson fee greatly varies depending on the duration of the class and the number of students included in a small group lesson. Some small group class for piano lessons use digital pianos and headphones during their class time.
