Hi Donny,
You started a very interesting topic.
The first music instrument I was taught was the violin. The teacher charged my mother $1 per half an hour in 1984.
I used to take private piano lessons twice a week. I changed many teachers. The last one (1991) charged me $2 for a 45 minutes lesson. I don't believe instructions have changed over the years, if I understand what you mean.

Nowadays a piano lesson goes at $10-$12 per hour. I am tempted to give piano/keyboard lessons for an extra income. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time. Too much work, too many hobbies.

Regards,
George
