[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strings $70/hour. Would be $40/30 min. Age 12, started private lessons at 11 but only did a few 30 minutes and says full 60 is valuable. I asked the child recently because I'd switch to 30 minutes if they thought 60 was no longer productive. For now they say it still is, but they can potentially foresee a time where it would be too long if only focusing on technique. So I will keep asking periodically.[/quote] This is a strange post.[/quote] Which part is strange? I indeed had this conversation with my child in the past two weeks, and that's what they said. Playing doesn't generally exhaust them, in fact, they'd prefer a longer lesson, but they said specific techniques and harder material can be exhausting. So if a lesson was only that, they'd prefer a shorter lesson.[/quote] For someone new to lessons, the lesson will be focused on technique. As technique becomes more solid, the lesson will include other focuses. Do you distrust the teacher? You could talk to them about this and see what they expect future lessons to look like. [/quote]
