Did I mention that I have my Masters of Music...I feel that this makes a difference.

I teach private lessons and I charge $18 a lesson and I'm still working on my undergraduate.
If piano is your main instrument and you got your masters in piano performance, then I think you have every right to charge a decent price, at least $25 or $30 for a half hour lesson. But if I had my masters in piano performance, I wouldnt go to peoples houses to teach. They could come to mine. If parents can haul kids to soccer practice, they can haul them to piano lessons.
But if you have your masters in like orchestral conducting or something that isn't related to piano, then you probably shouldn't charge as much. I mean yes you have your masters, but if its not in what you are teaching then it in a way doesnt really matter.
I will have a degree in oboe performance, but that doesnt mean that I am qualified to teach tuba.

around here an advanced piano student who gives lessons in his neighborhood earns about $15 - $20 an hour. A trained music teacher who teaches intermediate to advanced students at her home makes about $50 an hour. The pianists at the university who teach the most advanced students make $100 - $200 an hour. I don't know of any professional teachers around here who teach at the student's home, but if they did they would definitely get more - travel costs and paid for their travel time.
Convenience has a price.

I take piano at the university that I attend. If I were to have a piano teacher come to my house I would expect to pay around 25 to 30 an hour, maybe even more depending on where you live and how far you have to drive. Good luck!

In my area its something like $10 for thirty minutes, if you are driving there you are probably going to be there at least an hour otherwise it might not be worth your time to do so.
