The Independent Society of Musicians (ISM) has released the results of its annual fees survey. The results can be used as a benchmarking tool for private instrumental teachers, those working in schools and hubs, and those involved in accompanying and examining.
The data has been collated from 663 respondents including both ISM and non-ISM members; the survey was conducted between December 2022 and March 2023.
Key findings
The survey found that the median rate for one-to-one private teaching has increased by £1 up to £36 per hour. 46% of respondents have increased their rates this year, with 41% expecting to increase their fees in the coming year. The data shows regional discrepancies when it comes to private teaching fees, with the average hourly rate in Inner London being almost £15 higher than Yorkshire, and more than £18 higher than Northern Ireland.
