Some instructors charge a very low rate, though their instruction is likely to be of lower value due to their lacking either the music education and/or the music experience required to effectively teach music. Other instructors charge a very high rate, sometimes overcharging. Regardless of how educated or experienced they may be, their lessons are not worth such an outrageous price. Students can receive the same quality instruction from equally qualified professionals with lower rates.

Duration of lessons varies among different instructors. The duration should allow for enough time to effectively review previous material and still cover new material.
It is important to know about an instructor's education and experience in music before proceeding with lessons. This will help determine the value of their instruction, as well as confirm whether or not their rates and durations are worthwhile. Dr. Darby's bio is available on this site, which includes education and experience in music. Please feel free to ask any questions if you would like to know more.
