Members NewGuyonGuitar Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Any sort of rule of thumb as to what I should tip my guitar instructor for Christmas? $25? $50? $75? He charges $35 an hour for lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonfinn Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have a handful of private students. Honestly, I never have expectations over tipping. I always appreciate it when they do. Typically, they get me gift cards worth anywhere from $10-$50. Does that help?

Poparad Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Same here. I never expect anything, but I always appreciate it when I do receive something. Most often it's gift cards to coffee shops or sometimes chocolates or other holiday treats. Usually nothing expensive or extravagant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeremy_green Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think students should tip in the $500-1000 dollar range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vman4639 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 I just got mine a gift card to a nice restaurant for $125. Admittedly I think this is a bit high, but I have been studying with this particular instructor (I change it up) for almost a year and really like him / appreciate what I have gained from the lessons.

Members naccoachbob Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm thinking about 1 week's worth of lessons - the equivalent in cash or gift card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
