can anyone tell me what they have paid for private (one on one) voice lessons - balkan/bulgarian or other similarly obscure vocal traditions?

    I have paid $40 per hour with the Bulgarian vocalists I have taken lessons with.

      That sounds about right. My trio recently had a 2-hour lesson with Carl Linich for Georgian technique and I think we paid him about $30 each. The best $30 I ever spent. I also spent $40 for an hour with Tzevtanka Varimezova.

        That's really inexpensive.

        Most reputable guitar, bass and drum teachers are charging $50/hour these days.

          Theres usually a difference if you're paying for lessons as part of a group, versus if you're an individual.

          I'm paying $45 an hour for private Rom violin lessons right now- that's comparable to the 'rarity' of Corinna's musical skills . Corinna already knows what Carol Freeman charges (I can't remember) which I think is different if it's a private one-on-one lesson versus a small group of three or four students. With the Bulgarian music it makes sense to learn in a group since much of hte music is about group singing.
