The Benefits of Becoming a Certified Piano Marvel Teacher

Piano Teacher Training

What is the Piano Marvel Certification Course?

Most piano apps and programs primarily cater to individuals hoping to learn piano, but Piano Marvel is different. It was originally designed by piano teachers to increase their teaching skills with the help that only technology can provide. Here at Piano Marvel, we put a big emphasis on helping piano teachers use technology to become the most effective teachers possible. While it is possible for Piano Marvel users to learn to play entirely on their own, we believe that no matter how advanced technology becomes, there will always be a significant place for teachers. Technology cannot motivate and inspire the way a teacher can, nor can it adequately teach some essential aspects of music, such as dynamics, musicality, and expression. There are some things that only a human being can teach effectively and other things that technology can actually teach better than humans can. We want to help teachers take advantage of the best tools that technology offers and combine them with their unique teaching styles and skills. Our Teacher Certification Course is designed to help teachers become completely capable and comfortable with every aspect of the program in a short period of time. Teachers do not need to become certified to teach with Piano Marvel, but teachers often miss out on Piano Marvel’s most helpful tools without taking the course. We also use the course to ensure that we have exceptional teachers to send our users to when they are looking for a teacher. Our certification course is designed to help teachers become completely capable and comfortable with every aspect of the program. Without taking the course, teachers often never reach Piano Marvel's full potential. We also use the course to make sure that we have exceptional teachers to send our users to when they are looking for a teacher.

The unique layout allows teachers to complete the course in their own time. Generally, the course takes between 2 and 8 weeks.

Do I need to get recertified?

This is a one-time certification, but we expect certified teachers to continue to educate themselves by attending Piano Marvel workshops, watching the YouTube videos that we continuously put out for teachers, and keeping up with Piano Marvel news and new features by connecting on social media and subscribing to our emails. We enjoy a culture of community, cooperation, and continued education, and we greatly value the relationships we build with our teachers. Register for the Certification Course here.
