For Piano Teachers
You are absolutely, positively and quite literally the most important person on earth to us! As a piano teacher, you train your students to play the piano and inspire them to reach their full potential. We want to do anything we can to help you be successful. As an educational partner with your authorized Stienway dealer, Artist Pianos, you and your students will enjoy many benefits designed to help your studio grow and your students succeed.
Plug into the Piano Community
We actively support the area’s music teacher associations like NYSMTA, the Piano Technician’s Guild, piano competitions like the Chopin Competition, student evaluations, adjudications, and performance venues.
Mutual Referrals
We want to refer students to you! Let us know if you are taking new students, your age and skill-level requirements, and if you specialize in a particular technique, style, or genre.
