How long is your DC's instrument lesson, and how much do you pay?

Please include age and instrument if you feel comfortable.

I pay $45 for a 30 minute string lesson for 7 yo, does this sound typical?
I am wondering when kids tend to switch to longer lessons (45-60 minutes)

That's exactly what we pay

Why you writing a book?

We started with 30 min lessons at the Levine School of Music Suzuki Strings, which has semester payments. I can't remember how much it was, but along those lines.

Then when DC was 9, we switched to a private studio and paid $100/hr, then ramped up to two lesson a week.

I want to know what other people are doing. None of my circle does instrument lessons.

My 13 year old has a 45 minute violin lesson (and is in AYPO). He has had a 45 minute lesson since he was 10 (and started in 4th grade at 8 with a 30 minute lesson).

My 11 year old has a 30 minute violin lesson but his teacher has mentioned that he will soon move to a 45 minute lesson.

Ignore Rude Poster.

We pay $70 for a 45 minute piano lesson. It's way more than I wanted to pay, but my son really likes her and wants to do well for her, so I decided to suck it up and pay. We are lucky we can afford it.

Off topics but did he skip 2 grades? I’m trying to figure out how an 8 year old is in 4th grade

$75-80 for 45 min piano lesson. We are in DC proper and the teacher comes to us.

Forgot to mention that we switched to 45 mi in 2nd grade. Prior to that we did 30 min lessons.

DD switched to 45 minute violin lessons at 7, but probably did it slightly earlier than normally would have because paired well w/ easing 3 year old brother in with 15 minute lessons. Hers come out to close to $100/lesson, but it's a Suzuki program that includes some other pieces (e.g., monthly group lessons, play-ins, etc).

Same, but we’re going to a music studio, so the teacher is only getting a portion of it.

Sorry, that should have said 9 in 4th grade. No grade skipping.
