So my bf and I worked out a thing where I pay for half my violin lessons and he pays for the other half (per month). He insisted so that's what we're doing. That's a lot easier for me financially And once my other stuff/obligations is taken care of I'll start paying for all of them on my own. I got my violin scales book that my teacher recommended

My first lesson is half off, so $20 for 30 minutes which is doable, and after that it increases to $40 per lesson, so it will be that 4 times a month, so I'll pay $80 a month and my bf will pay $80 a month, until I can start paying the full $160 a month myself.
