All About Choosing Piano Schools And Teachers

[SadMum]

Hi, I know that some private piano teachers will organise a year-end performance for all her/his students at a studio or sign the students up for ourside performances. Does anyone have any recommendations for a private piano teacher who offers performance opportunities for the students? Preferably in the North…


How about recommendations for piano schools that offers performance opportunities for the students?

Better to go for group lesson initially. You can assess her interest. Keyboard is sufficient at this stage

If she's keen then you can let her pursue individual lessons

We bought a piano around the same time dd started on individual lesson.

Anyone know roughly how much is the rate for 1 to 1(teacher coming to our place) piano class for grade 7 practical & theory? Thanks

As mentioned before, charges will vary from teacher to teacher depending on their qualification and experience. Grade 7 theory will be separated from practical. Generally practical charges for an hour at this level will be $240 per month, theory is normally given at least 30mins $120 per month.

When would be the right time to buy piano? Any tips in selection of piano whether to go for 1st or 2nd hand or even renting it.

As mentioned earlier, we bought a piano around the same time she commences individual lesson. So that's about 'right time' for my dd. Prior to that, when attending group lessons, she uses a yamaha keyboard

We're quite clueless how to select 2nd hand piano. Once we ascertain her interest, we bought a brand new. There's an existing thread on selecting pianos.

Hi JCE,
Out of curiosity, is 30 minutes usually long enough to cover grade 6-8 theory syllabus or are you referring to Grade1-5?
