Hello Drummers,
Looking for a bit of input on what to charge (or what to expect)
for an all-day back-to-school workshop in the Fall.
5 sessions with approx 70-80 kids in each
2 of the sessions are 1 hour long, 3 of the sessions are 45 mins.
The focus is on building community within the school and 'getting
to know you' among the new and old peers.
All the details for the day have been worked out (timing, class
size, location, etc.) but no word on how much is being paid. I
did mention cost in an email a few times back (see below) but no
reply was given. How do I tactfully bring it up again
I don't believe we have discussed cost at all and I was
wondering if you could give me an idea of your budget for this
activity? Please keep in mind I would be bringing in all the
instruments/materials needed for these sessions.
Any advice is appreciated... for fees and/or ideas on things to
do with the kiddos. I do have a toolkit of Arthurian-inspired
rhythm games, etc. but always looking for more! I operate on the
KISS principle... just so you know!
Thank you in advance!
With gratitude,
Teri Shaw

Hi Teri,Sounds like a great gig but lots of work.How much do you need to be paid?Money is uncomfortable but important.And this is your business and livelihood so don’t run away from the subject. I would send a follow up email summarizing the schedule and just list your fees for services at the bottom with your payment terms. $XXX due at the time of service or within 30 days etc.You can include an itemized explanation of your fees, such as equipment, transportation, preparation and planning, staff salary etc.They’ve already scheduled with you so I doubt that they will cancel - name your price (HIGH) and negotiate down to meet their budget - within reason, if necessary.Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
