Exam Fees
Exam fees are set by the various exam bodies and not myself.
Currently I do not charge extra for exam preparation. 
 Exam fees (whether for theory, piano or keyboard exams) are payable by the applicant (ie the teacher normally; pupils are referred to as 'candidates')  to whichever exam boards are involved. If a teacher has 5 entrants, it makes admin easier (and cheaper) for the exam board if it receives just one cheque/online payment from that teacher instead of 5 separate payments. This keeps exam fees down a bit, which is good news! 

If theory is studied in addition to practical, I do not charge extra.  My policy is to charge for time. If more time is required, only then do I charge extra.

The ISM has released the result of their survey of UK music teachers and their fees - you will see that I remain highly competitive; probably too competitive!
