Piano Teachers
Next to the guitar the piano is the most common instrument taught by teachers, and our researchers have worked hard to compile a comprehensive list of piano teachers in the UK. The piano as teachers will often demonstrate it is most widely utilised in the reproduction of solo pieces written just for the instrument, however it is also popular in chamber music and used as an accompaniment to singers and other instruments.
Piano teachers will often start by teaching you basic chords and explain how the instrument works; the sound is actually produced when a felt hammer connected to the keys strikes steel strings.
The strings resonate inside the box producing the warm and moving tone we all know and associate with the piano. Teachers may also choose to describe how the word piano is derived from the word pianoforte, however this term is very rarely used and the shortened term is far more common.
One of the advantages of the piano over the harpsichord and other similar instruments is that the attack of the note can be varied by changing the pressure with which the keys are depressed, something many teachers will demonstrate very early on in your tuition. We are certain that you will be able to find a mentor from one of the many teachers listed on our website and we wish you the best of luck learning a new instrument.
