<BR>on a standard tuning rate for what to charge a small group of students for
<BR>a tuning tutoring session? My hunch is that this will be a 3-hour session
<BR>with about 4 students. I'd like to figure in enough to straighten out the
<BR>piano afterwards and not lose my shirt in doing so. I'm not looking for
<BR>actual dollar amounts ... just a means for calculating a fair charge per
<BR>student.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">

<BR>How long does it take you to tune a piano? How long will the session be, plus
<BR>retune the piano. Do the math, and divide by the number of students.
