Professional Piano Teacher
Become A Professional Piano Teacher
The title of professional piano teacher is not limited to those teachers who work within the school system or teach for universities, colleges, and big expensive piano studios. A professional piano teacher is anyone who teaches piano for a living. This means you can teach piano in your home, your student's home, or a small piano studio you've built from the ground up and still be a professional piano teacher.
One of the worst things you can do for yourself as a professional piano teacher is to allow another teacher, student, or parent make you feel as though you are less than you really are. You will find that parents are often your student's worst enemy when it comes to achieving their goals and learning to play the piano. You will occasionally need to talk to the parents and encourage them to help their children by letting you challenge them and taking a step back.
Today's parents are more involved than perhaps ever before in various aspects of their children's lives, often micromanaging beyond comprehension. As a professional piano teacher it is often your responsibility to step in and ask the parents to step back. There is a difference between being an inspiration to their children and hampering their growth. These parents may huff and puff and threaten to pull their children out (and they may do so) but you would be doing a student a greater disservice if you allow a parent to kill a child's enthusiasm for learning.
A professional piano teacher also will back up other piano teachers rather than belittling other teachers or their methods of teaching. In fact, this is the main difference between a professional music teacher and an amateur or worse a hack musician. You do not make yourself look better as a teacher or a musician by attempting to make others look bad. Your skills and your conduct will say more for your professionalism than anything you say in an attempt to establish the fact.
If you want to establish yourself as a professional piano teacher begin the process by creating a killer business plan and behaving in a manner that is above reproach within the piano and arts community. Most cities, no matter how large, have a rather small and limited arts community. Word travels fast and your ability to conduct yourself, as a professional will establish your professionalism more than anything you can say about your skills or experience. Actions will always speak louder than words when it comes to establishing yourself as a professional piano teacher.
