I based that off of other students in the past because I hate to say I was trying to fix more probloms than anything else and also sometimes and can be a little harder to teach more advanced students and I always wanted the student to feel like they were getting what they were paying for and not feel like they were wasting time with if they felt they didnt have anything to learn from me. |
I've never had a sliding pay scale.
It seems to me that your sliding scale slides in the wrong direction. New drummers are much more of a headache than advanced students, IMO. I have taught at the college level. It is a lot easier to teach someone who has enough experience to know that he wants to be there. Also basic technique and basic theory can be a major hurdle for new students. It's a challenge to get them over that hump without losing them to other activities.
