I am a classically-trained pianist, and a fountain of information; someone who can give you hours of background and detail on a Chopin piece, or the like, and knows what it takes to get to the point where you can pretty much play anything.
I am also an autodidact and generally smart guy, and my situation is that I now make most of my living from tutoring the SAT, ACT, LSAT, tests, and general math and statistics, which, you guessed it, pays better than teaching piano. I didn't make it that way, but we do what we do.
This puts me in a situation where I can choose to be selective about the students I take on. Classical piano, at it's higher levels, is one of the most difficult pursuits in the word, up there with ballet, theoretical math, and Olympic gymnastics. Most people don't reach that level, and many of those simply aren't inclined to try. My extensive training in the field, and general inclinations, make it a joy for me to talk about the high-level stuff, and teach the great works, but doesn't especially dispose me to wanting to teach Mary Had a Little Lamb to a 5-year-old ever again.
So, if you're serious, or the parent of a child who you wish have serious piano training, I'm happy to offer my services. If you want someone who can teach very basic things to a beginner, and/or have no intent of serious study, you can probably find someone acceptable for a cheaper price.
On the other hand, if you want the real deal, or your child has some background and wishes to go to the next level, I can offer a good chunk of what you might get from an established PhD, or high-level teacher in Manhattan, at a LOWER price than such people would ask. If you wish to use me for a limited number of sessions, simply to attain some fundamentals, get feedback, or assess and look for bad habits, that is certainly fine as well.
