Qualified Piano Teachers who don't mind teaching adults based on their need?



ORIGINAL POST

I need referals of good piano teachers who are not just teaching students to beat the grades. A self-taught adult piano student myself, I have solved the biggest problem for myself and other adults - music reading (or Grand Staff deciphering). I have made piano sheet music (published books actually) that are readable at a reasonable speed "immediately". With this I have been able to arouse interest in many adults friends who would love to try their hands on the piano.


Touble is, I am not a piano teacher myself. When these friends become more motivated and go to professional piano teachers for better techniques on those dream pieces they like to play, they are asked to switch to a course book which involves overcoming Grand Staff music reading somewhere down the road, if they want to play the music they like - a road that they did not want to take in the first place. And they get discouraged and some even quit!


I need recommendations of open-minded teachers who do not just remember how they were taught themselves, but also think from an adult students' perspective. Teachers who can teach like good golf coaches who do not take apart the student's swing unless the student specifically asks for that.


Unfortunately in piano learning, the students still do not seemed to have much of a say, except for quitting.

Appreciate leaving their names and numbers here, so I could just refer my friends/students to come here.


By the way, I have been an expat in Hong Kong 94-05, and Beijing 05-10, and now living in HK as a "local". Born in China, lived in London, Singapore before expat life. You can message me for other matters. Would be glad to help. The name is Jeff :)
