If you have access to it, check out "the well-tempered piano teacher."  It is a wonderful book and it may give you some ideas.

Also, get in contact with Karen Taylor at Indiana University.  She specializes in teaching piano pedagogy to pianists and if you are serious about the field, you would benefit from establishing contact with her.

Also, check out the Golandsky Institute.  They have a certification program you may be interested in.

Good luck! 

P.S.  Where are you?
Money does not make happiness, but it can buy you a piano.  :)

Also try to find Jane McGrath, she is said to be amazing in pedagogy.  I don't know where she is.  Google her.

Check out the Eastman school of Music in Rochester, NY. Last I heard it was one of the best, or the best in the US. Tony Caramia is the director of Pedegogy, wonderful teacher and a great person. Good luck

In the movie “Piano Dreams” director Gary Lennon documents the struggles and sacrifices of three wannabe piano stars in modern China. Read more
