All About Piano Lesson Costs

Dear experienced piano teachers or parents,
Pls advice how the piano teacher usually teach Aural? using the CD or without? -
Apronmama, as a teacher I don’t use the CD. When I explain things to the student I’ll need to play the exact example I’m quoting from so that the student may understand, with a CD I’ll have to slowly "search" for the little bit of info I need. But at home, it’s probably useful to have the CD to practice esp if the parents can’t play the piano in order for the child to practice.

I don't really agree that those with more \"paper\" are better teachers (though I am one myself). Experience comes into play, the character of the teacher too. Of course more quali does mean that the teacher (should) know more and therefore have more ideas and have better means of teaching the student esp in higher grades. A performer also doesn't necessarily mean a good teacher (think I've mentioned on this somewhere). Some can really perform but they don't know how to communicate with the student, so he/she can't impart his/her ideas to the student.
Absolutely agree. I used to have a student who was under a master degree holder when he was grade one. He only manage a pass. He was p2 then. But after changing teachers, he had distinction in gr 2,4,6,8 and passes gr 8 when he was p6.
Experience is really important as the more students the teacher teaches, the more experience she has. As every student is in individual, we cant use one method for every student.
Performers might be able to perform well but might not be able to teach well. They may be more impatient too as they might be thinking 'this is so easy and how come you can't do it' etc -

mummyjoyce, if it’s $360 per month for BOTH then that’s more or less the market rate (if not under)
-
As a starter, do i need to get a piano for home lessons? Will the digital pianos work?
-
Yeah the rate really depends!
My son is taking piano and http://www.learnpianoinyourhome.com here in Texas. I save a lot knowing that I dont have to spend on gas and extra fees when going to the teacher. Her teacher charges $5 per hours, but it's worth it! -
