Does anyone know of a Piano Hagwon in Seoul that would teach in English? Or any specific people?
I played when I was younger and would like to get back into it!
Thanks very much:) |

| I would like to know this as well....I'll be moving to Bundang soon and would love to take up piano again. Does anyone know of a teacher who can speak Eng? How much do they typically charge per lesson? |

| Can't help you with the teacher but one thing you might be interested in is piano rentals. From what I've seen, prices seem to start at 50,000 won a month. |

If you have ANY more info on this I would be really happy to hear it. I'm in Seoul. |

Do a search for 피아노 렌탈 (piano rental) on Naver and this is what you get:
http://search.naver.com/search.naver?where=nexearch&query=%C7%C7%BE%C6%B3%EB%B7%BB%C5%BB&sm=top_sug&frm=t1
Looking at the site of the first result, upright pianos start at 35,000 won a month. Baby grands at 100,000 won and grand pianos at 150,000. No Steinways or anything but they do have Yamaha and Kawai. I do know that a Korean piano maker manufactures Steinway's "low end" line. I forgot their name, though.
The monthly fee seems to be reasonable but the delivery charge is quite high. 150 to 300,000 won but perhaps, you could negotiate that. |

| It seems that 영창 (Young Chang) is the company that manufactures the Essex line of Steinway pianos. |

There's a hagwon with an english speaker right next to Noksapyeong station, above the bookstore. 30k/per lesson.
Also, if you work at a public school, you may have a piano teacher at your school. Swing a deal with them where you teach them english and they teach you piano.
I got a deal like that on Cello. |
