Can anyone recommend a classical or ragtime piano teacher?
2009-03-06 19:02:55 As a rule, you're lucky to find a teacher with openings, never mind "recommendations". In any case a recommendation would depend on your age, commitment, and skill level. You should contact one of the piano teachers listed here to get a good recommendation.
