Hmmm Z an interesting question.................
You have gotten some good answers so far so a "means" formula of some sort is 
what needs to be put forth?
 OK lets say you charge 10 dollars for a 'tuning' and a normal tuning takes 1 
hour 20 minutes, to include drive time. That would make for an 'hourly' rate 
of $7.50

so....hourly rate X hours of instruction / number of students=
hr X hi / ns = (in this instance)
4 X 7.50 / 4 = 7.50 per student
 In this example since hours and students are both 4 it comes out even but 
using the same formula and three students the cost would be 10 per student 
and for five it would be 6 per................
Z even at 60 dollars per hour it would break down to only 15 dollars per hour 
per student and that is very modest...in my opinion.
Just a thought.
