The short answer to the question ‘are music lessons expensive’ is no – at least, not with Modern Music Learning in Takapuna!
For example, for one term of piano and keyboard lessons with Modern Music Learning, the cost is 350 NZ$. This covers 10 30-minute lessons with a qualified instructor and expert individual advice on progressing your musical skills. The average price of a piano lesson in Auckland is around $80 per hour. If we apply this number to Modern Music Learning’s lessons and their duration, this would work out to $400 total – $50 more expensive!
However, there isn’t really a clear answer to how much music lessons cost, because their price can fluctuate depending on many factors. Indeed, this is true no matter the instructor or provider you choose. Find out more about what influences their cost, below.
1. An Instructor’s Experience and Qualifications
Across New Zealand, the cost of music lessons will undoubtedly be influenced by the instructor’s experience, credentials and reputation in the music industry! Instructors with an extensive performance history or a lengthy background in teaching are likely to share their expertise at a higher price – largely because quality instruction is guaranteed.
2. The Instrument You Learn
The price of music lessons can fluctuate depending on the instrument you choose to learn. Whilst this isn’t necessarily true for Modern Music Learning, it is generally expected that lessons for a recorder or other small instrument will be less expensive than lessons for a saxophone, cello or piano. This is because the price of hiring or purchasing these larger, classical instruments is also greater – and an instructor’s expertise may even be rarer.
3. Location
When learning an instrument, your location matters. Lessons in bustling urban areas like Takapuna or wider Auckland will surely come at a higher price because the cost of hiring a studio where musical learning can take place is naturally greater! However, you shouldn’t let your location stop you from pursuing your passion. The right instructor will find you, and support your musical journey wherever you are. For example, we at Modern Music Learning offer supplemental learning for our students with educational YouTube videos, accessible online.
For music lessons that you can trust to be affordable, professional and remarkably instructive, look no further than Modern Music Learning in Takapuna. Our price, whilst competitive, is justified by the experience of our instructors and the passion with which we teach.
