    Have any of you had regrets recommending any particular piano teachers in the past? Just curious.

    When we were still in St. Louis, I had the same situation. The teacher was well known and had a good following when I tuned for him. Consequently, my wife recommended him to one of her students, who took from him for several months. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to her student, but he was later arrested and convicted of sex crimes with some of his students. 

    No, neither my wife nor I had any regrets that we recommended the student to this pervert. We had no idea and were as shocked as everyone else. Now, perhaps if I had known, which I didn't, it would have been a different story. But I don't think we should be held responsible for things like that.
