Finding a piano teacher in St. Louis

[rnu]

I graduated from Northwestern with an MM Piano/Pedagogy degree and have taught piano for 12 years. I will be moving to the St. Louis area (near Washington University, St. Louis) and would like to study with a piano teacher/professor. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Having grown up in St. Louis myself, I know there's not too many teachers I'd recommend for someone of your training.  One I would recommend, however, is Seth Carlin, professor of piano at Washington University.  I would contact him if I were you, and if he is unable to give lessons, he would be able to give a reliable recommendation to you.  His faculty profile with contact information can be found at:

Hope this helps!

Perhaps even better would be to contact the universities in the area (this would include Seth) and get several names (there are several fine pianist/teachers in the area), then make your own decision after meeting them.

Thank you both for such helpful information!

For the record, I didn't mean to imply that there weren't many fine teachers in the area, but that there weren't many I could recommend.  By all means one should contact many people before settling on a single teacher.  Excellent suggestion.
