They don't take nearly as long as 5 hours to write one. That said, I don't want to charge too little. I guess with these things you do have to take into account not just the time it takes but all the hours you put in to get to the point where you can do this work. Thanks for the help. Good link that site also!
I've been asked to write short 4 - 6 bar sight reading exercises for piano. At the moment they are for grade 2. I've been asked how much I charge per exercise but I don't really know what the going rate for something like this is. And should more be charged the higher grade level they are (as they would probably take more time to make)? Any advice on what to charge?
