My FREE 2-minute Rate Calculator for Music Teachers
Fun fact: The ancient Romans believed you could predict the future by examining the entrails of sacrificed animals.
Another fun fact: 47% of independent music teachers use this method when setting their rates.
How did you choose how much to charge your students? Did you make a thorough evaluation of the value of your offer, analyze your competition, etc.? Me neither, at least when I first started teaching. I asked my buddy Charlie what he charged. Good enough!
Except is was way too low.
I've got a better way now: A 2-minute tool that spits out a recommended hourly rate.
Beware
- Compared to sheep liver, this tool is a major upgrade. Still, treat your result as a ballpark figure.
- Many of the questions are self-evaluations. The better you know yourself, the more accurate the tool.
- If you're considering raising your rates after using this tool (wonderful!), I strongly suggest you first check out my Friday Live Show broadcasts on the subject, Part 1 and Part 2.
