Impossible Some of the worlds best academies are in europe not to mention the best teachers. What are your aspirations? Language skills? areas of interest (ie contemporary etc). The traditional schools: Paris superieur, Imola maestri academy, International piano foundation imola, RAM but there are loads of TOP schools which are vurtually indistinguishable in quality :-\

The Chopin Academy is good! (polish) obvious reasons. The Royal academy in Uk is excellent as is the RCM (Royal college of Music) for turning out pianists. The Liszt Hochshule in Weimar has a good reputation. Berlin University of Fine arts has some very good teachers too. Hope this gets you started.  ;)There must be some people studying in Germany and poland on this forum who can help you though ::)

Leipzig Mendelssohn school is also good for piano and gen training. Berlin University of fine Arts has some very good piano teachers. There are good schools in italy and france too but perhaps not so good if not fluent with the language? Geneva School is good and they may be better at languages there.
