Can anyone recommend a classical or ragtime piano teacher?
2009-03-06 19:02:55 As a rule, you're lucky to find a teacher with openings, never mind "recommendations". In any case a recommendation would depend on your age, commitment, and skill level. You should contact one of the piano teachers listed here to get a good recommendation.
2010-01-09 10:01:41 Could someone please tell me how to add myself to this list? I am not DMTA but I have already set up a Davis Wiki page. Kindermusik I teach Kindermusik children's music classes rather than private lessons. So the instrument listed could be Kindermusik. Thanks, Amy —musicamyl
- Edit this page. Find the appropriate place in the order to add your information. Insert a new line. Begin with || as that is a table separator and you'll be adding a new table row. In the first cell type the name of the instrument followed by ||, then your name followed by ||, your openings followed by ||, your e-mail which you might want to display using the mailto macro [[MailTo(amy AT provider DOT com)]] followed by ||, and your phone followed by ||, then the section of Davis, membership in DMTA, and any notes all separated by and ending with ||. If there is a page for Kindermusik you will want the link to it to be in the form of ["Kindermusik"]. Preview your changes, and adjust any typos you've made and then click "Save Changes". If that doesn't work out, then leave another note here at the bottom with your information so someone else can add it and then remove your comment.—JasonAller
- But you shouldn't add yourself many times. —GregKuperberg
2011-08-11 19:15:51 Watermelon instructors are scammers! I have gone to 3 different instructors, and they really want to teach you at a snail's pace so they can collect their $20-25/lesson (or $100 monthly fee for some) with minimum effort. "practice picking up the violin. next week I'll show you how to hold the bow... " AVOID!! —GeorgeG
2012-01-23 09:48:47 Note that Larry also tunes/fixes piaons —WesHardaker
2012-07-10 23:08:50 Hey GeorgeG, which instructors have you gone to? Where are you studying now? The ones at Watermelon are supposed to be really good, whereas some on this list are actually jokes. —BuyLocal
2014-01-02 17:56:12 Is there someone who can teach piano accordion? I am beginner.
2014-05-02 13:42:14 I'm looking for an easy-going instructor to teach a 30-ish male beginner piano. Any ideas? —ChrisN
