The piano is a popular musical instrument. Many great composers have written symphonies and other compositions that are played on the piano, such as Bach, Chopin and Mozart. One can take piano lessons, which are usually given on a one-to-one basis. The piano teachers may be either holding a degree in piano performance, or music, or may be entirely self-taught. The skills that the teacher aims to instill within the student includes training by ear, rhythm, notation, improvising, memorizing and sight reading. The classes may be held at either the pupil's or the teacher's house. The charges for the lesson depend on the skill level and the duration of it. A good teacher would help you develop an appreciation of music first and foremost, and hone your natural abilities into concrete skills. Piano playing is a much admired skill.
