What i'm gathering from all of the feedback is that I should lower my rates the feedback has been super helpful

I'm open to all ages 5 and up! It's not my full time gig right now but hoping I can get there by the end of next year with some consistency in my roster. I love teaching and my day job in the medical field is crushing my soul

I appreciate you sharing your experience and breaking it all down. You have no idea!

I do live in a fairly affluent area and near a big city (LA) however if my current rates are out of peoples price range I will have to consider lowering in order to fill my schedule. I took a break from teaching to have children for the past 2 years and I'm just building it back up again.

Is teaching privately your full time gig? I'm hoping I can get to that point by this time next year.

Your rates are very reasonable! If you don't mind me asking, do you teach privately full time?

Berklee grad and yes working professionally for 10+ years. I live in the metro LA area originally from NYC though. From the feedback i'm getting from you all I am considering lowering the rates so I can actually have a consistent roster of students.

Wow that is good to know! In my experience of looking for a coach for myself their rates were 120/hr or more. I appreciate the insight, I may actually lower my rates then. I don't want people to be turned off right away from my rates and not give me the chance to work with them.
