The unmusical differences are revealed in a survey conducted by the Consumer Council. 150 of the municipalities - among them the 100 largest - is asked time avses to an individual piano student. Country incision is 14.5 clock hours gambling in the year, but figures ranging from 8.5 hours to 28.5 Tydal in Larvik.
Little regulation
All Norwegian municipalities are required to have culture. But beyond that there is little regulation, both on the length, cost and content.
- There are local political discretion that boards of directors. I would not say that the municipalities take advantage of the situation, but think there is a need for curricula to make it more predictable, "said Terje Kili in the Consumer Council.
85 of the 150 respondents answered the questions the local authorities.
- That so few answers, suggesting that there is some lack of culture in local government, said Kili.
He believes, however, that municipalities were not included in the survey is neither better nor worse than those who responded.
Clearly at least
Students who receive at least clear instruction belongs in Sr-Trndelag. Students in Tydal and Malvern, according to the municipalities to make do with 8.5 and 9.5 hours at the piano. Malvern average for a "Time" ends up care in poor 15 minutes. Tydal hour average "rescued" by the training only takes place every other week.
But even in the largest municipalities are the piano around the clock. Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim, did not respond to questions from the Consumer Council, but it did Stavanger. Here's a piano student 12 hours training during the year to 12 months.
The best authorities are Larvik, Namsos and Modum, with almost 30 clock hours at the piano. This means that each lesson lasts 45 minutes - just as students are accustomed to from their normal school day.
- The gap is huge, "says Consumer Council Terje Kili about the small numbers concur.
Variation in price
The price to be a cultural student also varies. On average, it costs 2,456 dollars a year. But it varies from the modest 980 million in Granby in Hordaland to roughly 4,000 million in smoke in Buskerud.
Where it has been possible, the Consumer Council used the information to calculate the minute rate for tuition. Here comes Ski, Akershus as expensive - with 5.56 million per. minute piano. Larvik takes for comparison only NOK 1.21 per minute.
It should be possible with the introduction of a maximum price on the culture deals around 2,000 crowns.
- But that means the small, as long as the contents vary as much as it does, said Kili.
In most municipalities there are 20 hours which is inventory. Around the country's 25,000 pupils in line to fit the cultural schools. (ANB)
