I used to teach at Yamaha, yes they charged royalty fees & admin fees.

During my time, beginner fees was RM120, deduct RM20 of admin fees and royalty. I was left with RM100. Then split according to percentage agreed. I got something higher than 50% cos i'm a diploma holder in piano performance.

If you are working for a music centre that have the capacity of students it will be fine. Otherwise, like many of my friends' experience, it's not quite a 'decent' job. Are you willing to teach if there is only 1 student available?

I can say it's pretty tough working as a freelance music tutor, but everything has its pro and cons, being in this line is not easy

It depends on teachers, I never used my phone when teaching, even when my phone rings or what, it's just not good
But to be honest Yamaha is quite stingy, and the percentage really depends on the boss
70% - could be possible for masters holder? but 80% is really rare...

but if u have a masters, would u really want to waste time teaching in yamaha?
