Recommend a classical piano teacher in Cambridge, MA

Recommend a piano teacher in Cambridge, MA.

I had about 6 years of classical piano training, oh, about 10 years ago, and it's something that I'd like to pick up again. The problem is that I have no idea how to pick a good music instructor. I'm throwing in some info that may or may not be relevant.


- I live in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA (no car)

- Mainly interested in classical training rather than modern

- No piano at home, but I do have access to practice pianos at a grad school music department

- Semi-broke grad school student, so it would be nice to find someone at a reasonable price


Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Not a specific recommendation, but try the Longy School of Music, outside the Square just beyond the Ed School and Radcliffe. I imagine some of their students offer private lessons.

Nthing Longy, they specialize in the non-future-pros. My violin/viola teacher also teaches classical piano in Arlington and she's pretty good, can give you her name if you're interested.
