Finding Piano Teachers in Toronto Through Google
Of course there is Google, where searching for piano teachers in Toronto will yield hundreds of thousands of results, and where you will find websites for individual piano teachers, music schools, and classified ads for piano teachers on kijiji. Finding the best possible piano teacher to fit your needs - and who is qualified and experienced in teaching piano lessons - can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Piano Teachers at Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music
If you want to cut down on research time you can head to the Royal Conservatory of Music. The RCM is known for having the top piano teachers in the city. Piano lessons at the RCM come at a steep price tag (around $100 per hour), take place at their downtown Toronto location (near Avenue Road and Bloor), and are focused on classical piano. You are almost guaranteed to get a great classical piano teacher here.
If $100 per hour is out of your budget, another option could be taking piano lessons with a Glenn Gould School student (the university-level piano performance program at the RCM). You can preview and even meet GGS students at the free piano recitals they perform in throughout the year. Many GGS pianists are also piano teachers, and may not charge as much for private piano lessons as the RCM itself does. It's a great program, and you are fairly certain to get very high-quality piano lessons from students of the GGS.
Finding Jazz Piano Teachers at the Rex
In fact, going to piano concerts in general can be a great way to meet some of Toronto's top piano teachers, chat with them in person, and consider trying some piano lessons with them. If you are interested in jazz piano lessons, head to the Rex for any jazz band performance that lists a piano player. If you like the jazz pianist's playing you can chat with them at the break, ask them about their approach to teaching piano, and grab their contact info.
Getting Piano Teacher Recommendations from U of T's Music Faculty
If that approach seems a bit intimidating, getting a recommendation from a pro is the next best bet. You could get in touch with a piano faculty member at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music and ask them if they have a current or former student who they could recommend as a piano teacher.
If you are interested in having piano lessons with a great piano teacher who is well-qualified and experienced it helps to be pointed in the right direction.
