cost of piano lessons / service in DE?

[Andrew Anderson]

Here in Laredo Texas the average is $50.00 per hour.  We set our  
studio rates to the equivalent of $45 an hour paid monthly with  
prorations for school holidays figured into the fee and people are  
beating the doors down.  I am the most expensive piano tech. by a long  
ways in the area.

Piano Guild has a bylaw requiring a fee reflecting respect for the  
profession.  Unfortunately that bylaw hasn't been updated in a very  
long time.
