Here are some simple steps to find a good, professional piano teacher:
REMEMBER WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR: REMEMBER WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR Outline specifically what you’re looking for in an instructor before you begin your search. Know whether your child is starting first-time lessons or advanced level classes, what qualifications you want in the teacher, and also you have to balance your financial and time commitment with the goals you’re hoping to accomplish.
ASK AROUND NEIGHBORS: ASK AROUND NEIGHBORS You can get lots of insights from other parents whose children are taking piano lessons. Talk to friends, coworkers, community members, your dentist… anyone willing to share their experience. Word-of- mouth is great for initial contacts, but do remember that each child learns differently, and if your friend’s children love a teacher, there's no guarantee your children will like them too.
DO SOME RESEARCH: DO SOME RESEARCH Once you’ve set your sights on a potential teacher, it’s vital to see him or her in action. The best option is to attend a recital of his or her students. Pay attention to how the teacher and student communicate with each other. Watch for signs of encouragement and see how the teacher interacts with parents as well.
FIND PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERIENCED PIANIST: Typically a professional pianist starts to play at an early age and later focuses on a particular style. You could choose the most qualified, highly regarded, professional teacher, available, but if your child is not receptive to the instructor, all your efforts go in vain.
START INTERVIEWING POTENTIAL TEACHERS: Interviewing potential teachers helps you decide if they’ll be a good teacher for you or your child. Interview prospects in-person, and ideally at the location where the lessons will take place. Focus on both general questions, like their teaching philosophy, as well as questions about their qualifications, expectations, and methods while interviewing.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO KEEP LOOKING: DON’T BE AFRAID TO KEEP LOOKING: You may not find a good piano teacher immediately, continue your search till you find one. Or switch teachers if your lessons don’t seem to be going well. A professional instructor will understand and respect your decision to do what’s best for you or your child’s music education.
