Thread: Hi! A piano teacher here!

**Lynn Gordon** · 30th October 2012 19:19

Hi all!

My friend recommended this site even though I'm not an English teacher.

But who knows?!

My name is Lynn. It's nice to meet you all! I know is a bit difficult to find a piano teacher here let alone an English speaking one! I'm a piano teacher with 7 years teaching experience. I teach both classical and jazz.
So if anyone is interested...

Thanks

Lynn

Welcome, Lynn.

Now, you didn't try to bring your piano on the plane with you, did you?

Hi Lynn and welcome to the forum. Which area do you live in? It would be great if you could teach piano privately.

Hi Lyn,
I used to teach piano in Bangkok. If you find kids to teach, make sure you have the parents pay for at least a month's worth of lessons in advance. And good luck.

I've tried bringing the piano...but can't find a way to pack the piano in my bag

I do teach privately most of my students are around Sukhumvit area, which is convenient.
However I found it difficult to advertise my service (any ideas??)

---Update---

Oh and here's my website. Nothing much on it yet, but it's a start!

The high side of teaching Classical piano is your clients won't be poor beggars. But all the same, the problem you'll have is their paying faithfully. What I do is give the first lesson free. That way if it's a go they'll have no excuse not to pay. And too you'll be in a better position to ask for a month in advance.

More classical piano in Thailand is a good thing.

I thought that might be the case, but I had to ask.

What about that guy a few months back who wanted to bring his car to Thailand. Remember him?

There may also be a market for this in the wealthy suburbs surrounding BKK. MOst of my kids play the piano or violin, for example.

Since my former students were all from affluent families, their parents had them overbooked with activities. Once the novelty of learning piano wore off after a few months, there were onto the next best thing - violin, ballet, etc. Maybe the parents figured their little darling would play as well as Mozart after two or three months of lessons.
