Hire the best piano professors in Environa

Taking piano lessons (upright or grand piano) with a piano teacher is without doubt the best choice. It is the only way to learn to play well. Your piano teacher will tell you what to do and especially what not to do! Self-taught will certainly lead to mistakes that are difficult, if not impossible, to correct later on. If you really want to learn to play the piano, we can only recommend that you take piano lessons with a teacher. This can be in a conservatory, in a music school, or in private lessons.

Training and studies to become a piano teacher

A music teacher cannot work without a competition! This is the rule for those who want to make music their profession. In addition, the baccalaureate is essential to follow a musical training leading to the state diploma required for the music competitions. Below is a non-exhaustive list of the different courses of study to become a pianist:
- To teach music in a national conservatory, you must have passed a regional competition for a specialised assistant in artistic education. You must obtain the national diploma of music teacher for the preparation of the competition. This must be prepared in a Centre de Formation de Danse et de Musique (CEFEDEM). Students entering CEFEDEM have completed the entire programme at a departmental or regional conservatory where their diploma is validated. - To give piano lessons in a primary school, it is possible to join a Centre de Formation de musiciens intervenant à l'école élémentaire (CFMI) at the end of Bac+2 to obtain a Diplôme universitaire de Musicien intervenant (DUMI). This is the passport to finding a position in a local authority.
- Finally, to teach piano in secondary schools, you can study for the CAPES in music education and choral singing, with a degree in hand. It is necessary to pass this competition to enter the artistic education of the National Education.

The scope of a piano teacher's work

A piano teacher, depending on his or her level of study and diploma, can work in different places - In a music and dance conservatory: there are now conservatories in many municipalities. This provides solfeggio and various musical instruments to students. They usually have qualified piano teachers. - In a music school: private music schools recruit piano teachers to give group piano lessons to students of all ages as part of a tutoring programme. The teachers are not necessarily qualified to give classical lessons or holiday courses. - A personal service: you can also find a piano teacher who offers private lessons at home or lessons at the apprentice's home.

Why use a music teacher?

Choosing to take piano lessons with a music teacher starts with the service of proximity, communication and meeting a caring teacher. The teacher comes to your home, or in some cases, you go to their home. In either case, the tutor focuses solely on you and your piano learning (learning music theory, playing the piano with both hands or the left or right hand only). This is a great opportunity to ask technical questions and feel genuine support and understanding.
The main advantage of a private piano teacher is that they adapt to your level and pace. No matter what your age, whether you are a beginner in music, already have a good foundation or are experienced, he or she will be able to advise you and offer you a tailor-made piano lesson for your improvement.
Studying a musical instrument with a private teacher means regular work and regular meetings for both the student and his parents. In music school you can sometimes hope to fit in with the crowd, but one-to-one tuition with your teacher makes it easy to learn both music theory and practice. The one-to-one approach inevitably generates more motivation, sometimes stress, but above all pleasure in playing and learning to manipulate the keyboard, to read notes and decipher as well as improvise. In addition, you have a certain amount of freedom as regards the time of the lesson.

How to find a piano teacher?

So of course you can go to the town hall, ask about the music school in your town, or search for "piano teacher + the name of the town you live in"... but it's hard to know if that's what you want. The most important thing is that, in most cases, institutional and traditional piano teachers don't necessarily have the right pedagogy for learning the piano. So here are our solutions for finding a piano teacher who will make you have fun playing your favourite songs:
- Prospecting in instrument shops: they are of course the best place to get good advice, as they have connections with professional musicians, as well as reliable information about music schools, associations or people offering private lessons. On the other hand, these shops are often in contact with teachers (to buy sheet music, instruments) and sometimes get feedback from customers on their music teaching abilities.
- Rely on word of mouth: nothing beats the experience of others! But be careful not to get carried away too quickly, because if you are inexperienced (a beginner), a teacher who has been riding his boss for a few years is quite capable of "putting you to sleep" with no stated intention of staying in your address book.
- Take a look on the web: There are specialised websites that list all the private teachers near you! This is a valuable time-saving ally, not least because you will find small ads and also get more frequent feedback from students about that piano teacher. Personally, we recommend the Starofservice website to find an individual piano teacher.

The fees of a music teacher

On average, a piano lesson with a teacher costs between 30 and 60 euros per hour, depending on the teacher's reputation and awards. Travel costs must be taken into account if you are taking piano lessons at home.

How to choose a piano teacher?

So make sure you choose the right musicology professional. With thousands of pianists available to teach, it can be difficult to choose. If you want your piano lessons to be both educational and enjoyable, there are some important factors to consider:
- Find a qualified piano teacher
. - Opt for a piano teacher who is dedicated to teaching and has a good ear for music whether you want to learn a classical piano, jazz piano or digital piano, organ or synthesizer
