I don't know if piano is the most popular instrument, but in music schools ( like conservatoire, but not with a competitive examination to attend it and not always with such excellent classes... ), there are generally much more students willing to learn it than teachers... Piano is thought to be an "easy to play" instrument ( contrary to violin, for example ), so a lot of parents want their children to learn it, even if they only have a synthetizer, which is rather different from a piano.
