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. -

After discussed with my wife, we prefer to have teacher coming to our house (Punggol) for teaching.
If anyone has any good recommendation on teachers (prefer full time female teacher), pls let me know. Please let me know the fees as well.
My gal is easily distracted so I suppose the teacher has to be patient and more strict to her.
We prefer to have lessons on either Mon, Wed or Fri; time between 7pm to 9pm.
Once again, thank you! -

Hi Gabriel, i understand your points, but personally, I do not think a teacher with only grade 7 is qualified to teach, even for beginners. Passion is important, but it does not alone qualifies a teacher. Just my two cents worth.I did a short writeup on sourcing for a good piano teacher in Singapore over here at my blog http://www.gabrielyeong.com/2013/05/choosing-piano-teacher-in-singapore.html

Opinion please - I called up a school 5 times at different timing (first 4 call no one pick up, manage to get through on 5th call. I got my question answered. After 5 min, I got the call from the school again. The staff or boss?? First question is questioning and kind of complaining to me saying she had been trying to call me and her boss MSG her 6th times cause she haven’t call me back and what is it regarding that her boss need to MSG her so many times to reply the call? And she is telling me she is very busy and altos of things to handle? There is a guy still waiting for her for 30min at the counter. Lastly, she said so she actually attended to my call earlier on and she is going to tell her boss she attended to my call.
I call back and ask her why does she needs to tell me all these? And what’s worse, in the end, I may continue the lecture and she is busy. If nothing more, she is going to hung up.
Can people please enlighten me, is there anything wrong with calling again when no one pick up? Or am I doing something wrong? Or am is this the school attitude?
Highlight- it is a school at bugis, they are selling mostly digital piano and teach by hearing
