Choosing a piano teacher is an important step, so don't let cost and convenience be the sole factors. Interview candidates, and ask to observe their lessons. Ask to see the plan for the first months; even if you're not a musician, you'll be able to tell if it contains clear goals. Some kids may prefer individual instruction, while others may prefer group lessons. Find out what professional organizations the piano teacher is affiliated with. Finally, evaluate the personality of the piano teacher, and how well you think he or she will get along with your child. When it's lesson time, the rapport between student and instructor can make the time fly--or crawl.
