    Hi Everyone,

    I just wanted to check what people’s policy is with regards to pricing and group singing lessons. I have just received an Enquiry for a group singing lesson of 3 people, and I am unsure how to price this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated!

    Thanks,
    Emma

    Matthew gave me a good tip for this – triple the price and minus 10. That way, it’s not actually triple the 1-2-1 price and it still works out cheaper for the individual student going to a lesson with others rather than on their own, yet you earn waaay more🙂

    My advice would be to do 1/2 the lesson price +£10 for each student. So if you charge £30, then each student pays £15 + £10 = £25 per hour, meaning that you earn in total £50 per hour for two students, or £75 per hour for three students. Pretty much the same as what Eliza says above🙂

    Though I also take into account who is the bill payer, so if it is two siblings (meaning the parents are paying for both) I would charge it at the normal rate since to the bill payer it makes a big difference if it is £30 or £50 (so a £5 saving for each student doesn’t make much of a difference since they pay for both). With three students I wouldn’t imagine that is a problem, though other factors come into the equation for example what will you charge if two of the three turn up for a one lesson etc.
