earned by playing piano

one girl needed help with her music classes in college, so she asked me to help her. and i did - it wasn't much work, but still it took some time to take a look at the songs and everything. she said that she will pay as much as i want - but i didn't want to take too much. and then my dad was like "knowing you - you'll do it for free, but people will never respect your skills that way" so i decided to ask for 50KM which is 30,35 USD. i think that's a reasonable price for the time that 10 songs took me. what do you think? now i'm searching for piano playing jobs online, hoping i'll find something. do you know some sites where i can use my piano playing skills to earn money?

yesterday, while looking for piano playing jobs, it's 25$-30$ or more for one class, i think that's alright.

@cacay1 piano classes aren't really common here and this was different from regular class where you teach students to play.

That's a good amount of money you earned for your music skills. I dont have an idea of any such site.

i think so too. she said it herself "i couldn't find anybody else to do it", so i guess it was a reasonable price.

It's a good way to earn since you have the skill And your dad is right. People don't appreciate it when we give it for free.

that's alright. i don't have such opportunities here. i used to volunteer in this organization and i was teaching a group of students - it was like 8 classes during a month FOR FREE, because i was volunteering. as a student i can't get a "real" job here. i was thinking of giving private classes, i don't know yet

Congratulations on the extra work. I know that I used to pay our son’s piano teacher $50 an hour and that was years ago. Sorry, I don’t know about online piano playing skills.
