A teacher who makes music sessions seem more like rehearsals will increase "public performance" skills more rapidly. At the very least, lessons should boost self-confidence as long as students practice on a regular basis and the money holds out. Music lessons for "one person" or two for at least one hour, once a week will produce faster results. The music teacher formulates the rate, schedule and style best suited for students. Two students attending the same session, pay the hourly rate set for one student. In my case, students paid $20 for a 90-minute or two-hour session. Time flies when you're having fun. Thanks for watching.
