Marcia-
Don't know about piano lessons, but my son pays $25 for a half hour
(that's HALF hour) of saxophone lesson. Wish I could get the same for
teaching pottery. I charge $10 per hour for a child, and $15 for
adult. Mimi

....I was thinking of private tennis lesson fees....and instrument lesson
fees. I charge $15/half-hour, suggesting an hour lesson. Also, the student
buys all the supplies and pays firing and glazing fees. It is the same for
adult or 'child' (I won't go under 9). Private one-on-one lessons become
pretty intensive training for the student.

Ivor. Who wishes he had persevered with his violin instead of noticing girls
when he was 13. But is still pleased he can throw and write.

Or perhaps there is the possiblity of becoming some great potter whose pieces
sell for $1000 a piece. One never knows!
