The music teachers from this association charge so much u can afford them. U should not pay such high price to learn music. One teacher from this site wanted 400$/ month 4 one hour class and 45 min theory class. being a single mom that is half of one of my paycheck. Sad that u can give ur kid music lessons cos they are so expensive
