You also want to make sure that the piano teacher is the motivating type, you need to be sure that the teacher will be able to keep the student interested in the piano at all times. The piano teacher should also be able to teach the student about the fundamental building blocks of music such as harmony and theory.

To help narrow down your search for a quality teacher, you might ask if the student can experience a sample lesson or two. This will allow the student to spend a session or two with the teacher to see if the student understands the teachers way of teaching. It will also allow the student to see if there is a good communication level between herself and the teacher. This will be a good point at which the student can find out the teacher teachers expectations of him.

Check the references of the piano teacher that you are considering. You should have no problem asking the students that have studied piano under the teacher what their review of the teacher is. You might ask if the teacher is patient, is a good communicator and if she teaches at a level that a beginning student will be able to benefit from.
