How to Find a Piano Teacher That's Right for You
How do you find a piano teacher that is right for you? Here is a practical guide on what to look for and how to find the best piano teacher for you.
Whether you are trying to find a piano teacher for yourself or your child, start by asking yourself what you want to get out of the piano lessons. Remember that a great piano performer does not necessarily make a great piano teacher, and a great piano teacher might not be a great pianist. Think about what you are looking for. Would you like to find a piano teacher / pedagogue to help you learn in the best way possible or an amazing pianist to inspire you by their playing?
Learn the Right Hand Piano Key Notes Fast
One of the first things to learn as a beginner are the names of the notes and where to find them on the piano keyboard. Here is a printable tool to help you with exactly that!
This printable Treble Piano Key Notes and Chord Finder is a handy little DIY tool for beginning pianists! Just print it, fold it and place it behind the piano keys on your piano keyboard, matching it where indicated with "middle-C".
Printable Piano Keyboard Diagram
In this lesson, you can print piano keyboard diagram templates and learn all the note names quickly and easily on the piano keys.
The templates are useful tools when you are first starting out to learn how to play piano, so you will not get lost among all the piano keys! But keep on reading, and by the end of this piano lesson, you may no longer need it! :)

Piano Question of the Month
What Piano Method Should I Choose?I play guitar, bass, drums, and have a small recording studio, for working on original compositions. I am currently self-studying Harmony & Theory by Wyatt.I would like to learn proper piano technique, to aid in my study of theory, as well as be able to record basic piano parts. I know you have free lessons here, and that's cool! However, have you ever tried to set a laptop on a keyboard? Not to mention the fact that my laptop doesn't fit in my music stand! (GRIN) I have read your recommended book list, but unsure which book/s would be a good choice to get started. Could you please recommend some books to get started? Thanks in advance for your time!
