Teaching Experience in detail in Piano Classes
Have been teaching for over 40 years. Started teaching since 1980 at various institutions. Taught in Shillong, Pune and Delhi at the Delhi School of Music for 28 years. Have sent many students for Piano exams in both Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses. Have sent students for exams from Initial grade to 8th grade piano exams practical and theory as well with distinction results. I have published two books. Mind Over Finger for practical piano and Distinction for Theory knowledge. I am teaching students from around the world as it is possible to teach online today. Thanks to the Computers. My oldest students have been in the 70s and many between 40 and 50 age groups too. My students need to be diligent, hardworking and obedient if they really would like to learn to read and write music and create beautiful music. It is a joy to be able to read and play all types of music. My goal is for all students to be informed and practically apply their knowledge.

"I've been taking piano lessons with Ronald Sir for over a year now, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the very first class, his professionalism shone through – he's punctual, well-prepared, and treats every lesson like a personalized masterclass tailored to your goals. What sets him apart is his genuine concern for his students' success. He doesn't just teach notes; he invests in your growth, celebrating small wins and pushing you toward real mastery. One of his standout approaches is the emphasis on building a strong foundation. He spends considerable time on the basics, training your brain to understand rhythm, theory, and technique before your fingers even touch the keys. This methodical method might feel slow at first, but it's incredibly effective – it rewires how you think about music, making advanced pieces far more accessible later on. So, my top advice to new students: be patient with him. He won't rush ahead until the fundamentals are perfected, and trust me, that patience pays off hugely in the long run. Ronald Sir is also incredibly accommodating. Life gets busy, and I've had to request time slot changes multiple times due to work and travel – he's always agreed without hesitation, adjusting his schedule to make it work for me. This flexibility shows how much he values keeping students on track. He's stricter than many other teachers, which can sometimes come across as harsh in the moment. But for the right students – those serious about improving – it's clear this stems from deep care and high standards. He pushes you because he believes in your potential, and I've seen that tough love turn beginners into confident players. On top of all this, his pricing is refreshingly affordable, making quality instruction accessible without breaking the bank. Even better, he's authored his own piano training books, which are a game-changer. They're packed with simple, clear instructions, diagrams, and exercises that complement the lessons perfectly. I've used them for home practice, and they've accelerated my progress tremendously. If you're committed to learning piano the right way, Ronald Sir is the teacher you want. His blend of professionalism, patience, and passion creates results that last a lifetime. Five stars all the way! "
