I don't charge by the 1/2 hour; I charge by the month and I am always available unless I make arrangements in advance with the students to shift lessons. I give as long a lesson as I can (up to 45 minutes) because I like to end with duets. I charge $90/mo. for High School kids and $70/mo. for middle school kids. There is no refund if they miss a lesson since I can not resell the time readily. I also have some "scholarship" students who pay nothing but owe me a great lesson every time. I look upon teaching as the way to give back to the people who were so good to me on the way to where I am. Money should not be an issue.
