To be fair, there are many excellent teachers who have stopped practicing and do not maintain any permanent repertoire, though of course they are still able to demonstrate passages from pieces they are teaching if needed to.[/quote]I do get your point. But I didn't think it was unreasonable to expect one line of simple music in tune, especially given that Suzuki method is supposed to produce students who can play by ear. She went off key. Anyway, I never went back there again.ammonite:
[quote=\"gar_gar\"]I really doubt the music school actually screen their teachers.
That sounds really bad. Your post reminds me of the time I went to check out a music school for Suzuki violin classes for my little one. When I asked the teacher to play something simple for my son, she played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which my son did not know. I asked her to play Pachelbel's Canon in D for my little one instead, thinking that was a simple and beautiful tune that would definitely make him fall in love with the violin.
OMG, she was horribly out of tune. We ran out as quickly as we could. No way I am going to pay for a Suzuki violin teacher who can only play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!! Never went back to that music school again. -

The Suzuki teacher you describe was probably never trained in the Suzuki method herself, or she just had really horrible technique or ear. Anyway you made the right decision, if cannot even demonstrate one line, something is very wrong.

Dear all,
Is it better to start piano lesson for my 8 years old daughter from music sch or better to get 1to 1 teaching at my house?
My daughter is active but also interested in music so thinking to let her learn piano to train her patient.
1. I am staying in Punggol, any recommendation of good teachers or good music sch with reasonable fees.
2. What are the rates for beginner?
3. How to define a good teacher? How do I choose and consider if the teacher is suitable for my daughter?
4. Is Full time teacher or more mature teacher (above 30 years old) a better choice?
Thanks in advance! -

Generally speaking, the more qualified teachers with better track records often conduct lessons from home studios or own music schools. Though there are also good piano teachers who travel to students' homes for practical reasons.Dear all,

The rates for beginner can range all the way from $20 to $100 depending on the qualification and track record of the teacher.
3.
A good teacher should be technically skilled in teaching, performing and able to connect on the same level as the student; paper qualification is secondary. This just my opinion and you may have different ideas on what constitute a good teacher.
4.
Full time piano teachers will be more secure in the long run as there is a much lesser chance of them stopping teaching because of reasons such as wanting to focus on their full-time careers. Age and number of years teaching is not as important as track record. A younger skilled teacher with track record of producing competent students with good performance and exam results is definitely more desirable than an older one who is just going through the motion and producing average result.
