Seeking piano lessons for school age children near BIS that does not cost a small fortune. Can anyone direct me?

You might try phoning the Richard Strauss Konservatorium (Gasteig) or the Musikhochschule. Ask for a recommendation of an advanced piano student. Typically university music departments in the US have lists of students they recommend for teaching and private performances.

This way you'd get a lower-priced instructor with perhaps not so much experience as a pro. But for kids, the teacher's personality is at least as important as pedagogical skill. If they don't relate, call for another one. Or interview two or three at the outset. I never particularly liked my little-old-lady piano instructor in high school, didn't practice much, and hence never got very good at it.

If you are looking for a good teacher, I know this super cool girl... She speaks English better than most of us, and while I have never heard her play she is the only 23 year-old girl I know who loves to drive vans and still buys vinyl. So she must be a good musician, right?

No, but seriuously, she teaches one of her music teacher's kids, so she can't be to shabby.

Hello,
I am looking for piano lessons. I am 26 and never learned to play any musical instrument before but would like to start. Anybody knows any teachers?
On the same note, I am also interested in the digital keyboard or a used piano. Thanks!

Thanks, mellelisa. Do you know how expensive she is?
mellelisa
I pay 25 per hour. Worth it though!
Nastya
Is it the school hour (45 min) or the actual 60 min hour? And where is she located? Thanks so much for the help!
mellelisa
It is a full hour and she is north of Schwabing. About 7 mins drive from Freiheit.

Did anyone find a good and reasonably priced teacher/student teacher for children? If so, please let me know. German or English ok.

Looking for a Piano teacher for my 5 year old. This would be at my apartment near Obersendling. Any leads would be appreciated.
Mr T.
I do recommend Elizabeth Parsons. She is a professional singer by trade but also studied piano and is giving tuition for beginners and advanced players all around Munich. Visit her website on www.elizabethparsons.net. She also a music teacher at some international music preschools in Munich.
