What is a Pop/Jazz Piano Teacher and how is it Different than Classical?
If your goal is to play by ear, self-accompany, write your own songs, play in a band, then learning classical and learning to read sheet music will not help you as much as learning to understand music theory and chords on the piano. All the teachers below will teach chord theory and how to render these chords into many different musical genres.
