      Hi all,


      The piano teacher for my dd and ds are too good. Both of them just recently completed their grade 8 ABRSM and they score almost full mark for the exams. Their teacher is so patient and kind; I could almost make out a halo on top of his head when he is teaching my kids. My dd and ds improved so much under him. Now whenever they practice their pieces, I am so emotionally touched that I could not stop crying with joy. This piano teacher is so fantastic, and he charge very cheap also. He charges both my dd and ds $88 for both their grade 8 lessons. So cheap and value for money!!! Screw those overpriced music schools!!!

      I am just sharing this because good teachers who charge reasonable rate are so hard to find nowadays. Anybody want his contact I can PM you.

          Wah chamonix, you're very perceptive. Can become private investigator! 😄


          I'm puzzled about the violin vs saxophone post. Why post there then when it's got nothing to do with \"piano teaching\"? Or perhaps this moonmazy is a tuition agent looking for sax teachers?
          Hi joyofmusic,

          PI? Worth considering, if they don't mind my age. :evil:

              There is no hard and fast rule. But I think the most common telltale sign is new nickname whose first few posts are about recommending his/her teacher. So I did a search on the threads created by this \"moonmazy\" and the first few posts of hers are about her recommending her children's teacher which were just made two days ago. So I can understand sacredmusicals' suspicion. Sometimes a teacher/music school may even create multiple nicks to compliment each other e.g. A is sharing about her teacher then B replies that she is very interested to study with this teacher. Kind of like how certain condo paid people to queue up for the launch to create false impression of demand.
              Feedback to the moderator. They can check backend. If that few nicks are using the same browser type and having the same IP address. Then it is confirmed that they are the same person. Nothing is secret in the Internet world. You can't hide

                That is provided the same person use same device to log into multiple nicks. Those with single nicks are harder to 'CSI', so unfortunately it is not so straightforward to identify the black sheeps even for mods.

                  The mods here could do more too to check the background of these teacher so we do not have underqualified and inexperienced teachers like dreamaurora giving advice and passing off themselves as the ‘experts’

                    Define 'underqualified' and 'inexperienced'.

                      Like i said before, you only have a bachelor and no master. Bachelor degree is hardly a sufficient qualification to teach. You should just stick to teaching beginners and lower grades. If you are so good why can’t you get a scholarship to study master?

                        If you feel that you need at least a Master to teach effectively, then that is your right and I respect that. Likewise for parents if they are prepared to shell out the fees. But like what I said before, family and financial issues prevent me from furthering my study at the moment. I do wish to continue all the way to DMA and I hope in a few years time I will be established enough to be able to at least secure a grant or scholarship from one of the overseas conservatory.

                        And stop putting words in my mouth. Never did I say I am a good a teacher. I freely tell everyone that I am constantly learning and improving myself both as a pianist and as a teacher. If parents have issue with that, they can always choose to study with the more established teachers who have been around far longer than me. But what I can safely say that I am passionate about teaching my students and I am always willing to push boundaries and pick up new methods.

                        I see that your sole existence here is to counter me. I apologize if I somehow offended you in real-life. If you have nothing constructive to add to discussions I participate in, then you are just basically a troll.
