Welcome to the official website of the International Piano Teachers Guild (IPTG). This organization was created in 2010 in order to provide an accessible and modern association for piano teachers. The purpose of the guild is to secure professional standards for the field of piano teaching and to promote interaction between piano teachers.
True professionals value having their skills independently validated and welcome the growth and camaraderie that happens whenever colleagues share ideas. Piano teachers are bound by a common love of music, a passion for teaching, a desire for community, and a need for certification.
In response, IPTG offers certification to skilled teachers. We also offer opportunities for evaluation of students through the medium of friendly competition. We have reviewed many organizations and websites in order to find the professional resources that we feel best serve the piano community. You will find links to those entities throughout our site. Please read the entire website to see all that we have to offer.
