Hi I'm currently a jazz student and was looking into the possibility of playing at retirement homes, senior centers and such, for pay. If anyone has experience I was wondering how much should I charge for a group of 4-5 at such a institution. I ve heard to charge at least $70 per person so you don't get ripped off but is this the really true? Also how do you approach the AD about us playing.
Note: we are all high school students but have years of playing jazz together. And we can play much more than jazz.
