$2 a day? that is $730 every year (if they hold classes 365 days/year)
that is a chunk of change...and they may not charge hourly, but monthly or for a series of lessons...

and is it different if they have recorded music, or live music?
some dance studios have a pianist...so do they have to pay Chopin
if they play his music?? or his heirs, or what/?!

i would like to think that the $ came back to the musicians...
so, does anyone have a check that has come to them from royalties?

please say someone has !!
