Pianos Teachers Suggest
Private Piano Teachers:
While it's true that each piano teacher may have his or her own brand or style preference, one thing is certain: Piano teachers understand the importance of having a good piano or digital piano that meets the minimum requirements for an acceptable practice instrument. If your budget doesn't allow you to purchase a fine practice instrument, then consider renting a piano. Give your student the best possible chance at success and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime love of music! "Cut corners" and studies show your student will likely quit before they really get going.
Here are some of the most common instruments teachers suggest to their students:
