Revision as of 22:44, 13 December 2008
Here's a very primitive outline of things I've been brainstorming about for my Wiki article. I hope to make available the resources I have been learning about in my piano pedagogy class on a Wiki page. I'm not sure how in-depth this article will become without turning into a textbook, but I thought it may be a good idea to begin with at least a list first.
Piano pedagogy
Piano pedagogy is the study of the teaching of piano playing. Whereas the professional field of music education pertains to the teaching of music in school classrooms or group settings, piano pedagogy focuses on the teaching of musical skills to piano students on the level of the individual. This is done most often via private or semiprivate instructions, which are most commonly referred to as piano lessons. The practitioners of piano pedagogy are called piano pedagogues, or simply, piano teachers.
Professional training in piano pedagogy
Musicians with background in piano performance
"Competent instruction", however, "is not always assured by the number of years one has taken lessons", wrote piano pedagogue, James Bastien. [1]
Higher degrees
Professional organizations in the USA
Societies which offering workshops, lectures, conferences, networking, performance and competitions opportunities for students.
- MNTA
- Local chapters
- Federation
- Guild
Notable piano pedagogues in history
Carl Czerny (Austria, 1791-1857)
Theodor Leschetizky (Poland, 1830-1915)
Tobias Matthay (England, 1858-1945)
Heinrich Neuhaus (Russia, 1888-1964)
Topics of study
Piano pedagogy involves the study of the teaching of the motor, intellectual, problem-solving, and artistic skills involved in playing the piano effectively. [2]Citing the influence of Zoltan Kodaly, Carl Orff, Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Russian-American piano pedagogue at Longy School of Music, Dr. Faina Bryanskaya, advocates a holistic approach which integrates as many aspects of music-making as possible at once would result in the most effective piano teaching. [3]
Ear training
Dr. Bryanskaya argues that the foremost important task for piano teachers at the onset of a student's time of study is the introduction of a habit of listening to quality performances of “descriptive and strikingly expressive music”, as a means for "sensitizing [the student] to the meaning of music".

Rhythm
Notation
Technique
Improvisation
The modern trend of piano lessons tends toward an overemphasis on learning notation, and neglects the nurturing needed for developing the creative spirit and sensitive ears which lead to expressive music-making. Studies point to the need for using multiple approaches in learning musical skills which engage both sides of the brain--the analytical and the intuitive--for students to master all aspects of playing. [4] Therefore, teaching improvisation skills may help students take ownership of the expressive quality of the music they make, and to keep music learning and practicing alive and interesting.

Memorization
Effective memorization results from the “combination of visual, kinaesthetic, aural and analytical skills”. [4]

- Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (1725) by family and friends of J.S. Bach
- Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Little Preludes and Fugues, Inventions and Sinfonias, & the Well-Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach

- Music for Children, Op. 65 (1935) by Sergei Prokofiev
- Mikrocosmos, Sz. 107, BB 105 (1926-39) by Béla_Bartók
Venues offering instructions in piano playing
The teaching of piano playing most often take place in the form of weekly private lessons, in which a student and a teacher have one-on-one meetings. Instructions may sometimes be offered semi-privately (one teacher meeting with a small group of two or more students) or in classes of larger groups, in other intervals of time. Piano lessons are offered in a variety of different settings, including the following: [2]
- Studios of independent piano teachers
- Piano and music stores
- Community music schools
- Continuing education programs
- Preparatory division of music colleges or conservatories
- Music colleges or conservatories
