Certificates and Degrees
Piano Teaching Certificate
This certificate is very popular and has probably been our most coveted certificate. It gives authenticity to the program of many Private Piano Teachers in the North Orange County region. Many of the students continue to meet and exchange ideas on the various methods of teaching that are new and to share common experiences in their studios.
The Certificate in Piano Teaching is a two semester program which is intended for anyone seeking to expand their teaching and playing skills. For potential piano teachers, the sequence of courses is designed to provide an overview of running a piano studio, student motivation, the technical skills, theoretical background, musical understanding and historical background needed for effective teaching.
