So, looking for some suitable sight reading material I pulled out the first Czerny book I got when I started lessons (100 Progressive Studies). Now, admittedly, not really sight reading because I did learn a bunch of the pieces three years ago. But s

*shrug* There are lots of good ways to be a good teacher. I don't have rules, myself, and with a few exceptions, I haven't had problems with student behavior either. If having a list of rules helps someone, I don't see why they shouldn't use it. Horr

I've seen that from time to time but couldn't put my finger on it. I'll try your remedy next time. Another occasional irritation is landing up at the top of the page when you click the last post in the index. Is someone taking note?

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the Ed's response - those are the same amounts that I came up with, but I wanted something better to work off of than, "well, I've been at piano work for 18 years, and this seems right." Thanks for the confirmati

I've seen public schools pay anywhere from $15-25/hour for accompanying. Assuming you'll be paid on a 1099, figure 15 weeks x 5 hours/week x $15/hr = $1125 per semester. That's a bare minimum. I'd ask for around $1800/semester and make sure the exac
