Looking for a great piano teacher
Hi all,
Our 10 year old son seems to have a natural talent for piano, but we're not sure his current teacher is the right fit. Looking for someone who can really push him forward, especially with learning to read music and giving him the opportunity to participate in formal recitals.
We'd prefer to have someone come to our home to teach but open to bringing him somewhere, particularly in Berkeley.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Golden Key Piano School, on University and MLK. They have lots of teachers, so you can find a good personality fit. But the whole school is geared towards a duet recital in the fall and a solo recital in the spring. They also teach music theory and sight reading. My son has been going for 3 years now and we've been pretty happy with it.
Linli Wang at Crowden is all of those things. You would have to go to Crowden for lessons, but she is an incredible teacher, especially for gifted kids. My child has been taking lessons with her for almost six years. Many of her other families are long term as well. Can’t recommend her highly enough.
