Meet a Teacher: Anita Manuel (Piano)

Posted on July 22, 2009 by Dave

At Teachstreet, we’re always looking to hear about what our teachers are up to, why they love to teach (and learn), and what they are truly passionate about.

We recently spoke with Seattle piano teacher Anita Manuel about her love of the piano. If you’re 5 or 50, Anita can sure teach you a thing or two about tickling the ivories! She shared her wealth of knowledge with us last week, including information about what type of piano/keyboard a beginning student should purchase, what types of books she uses with students, and about her classes for both children and adults.

You can watch the interview above, learn more about piano teacher Anita Manuel, or check out great piano lessons near you.

More of our interview series will be posted within the coming week. Stay tuned for more great interviews!

    I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

    I enjoyed watching the interview. It sounds like Sherman-Clay is very supportive. Glad you have such fun there! I really agree about young kids and concentration. It only worked well for me once … a 3-yr. old whose mom was an excellent flutist. She could help him at home, too. When parents try to tell me what their kids should do at home, I smile and say, “Well, you’re the one there. Would you like me to come visit sometimes?” Usually, they don’t want to pay me for that, but they do decide they ought to get more involved!
    Thanks, too, for the info. you shared about books. Cheers! –Anne Peterson
