Keyboard Pedagogy

Catalog description

Keyboard pedagogy is the study of the specific principles of teaching piano and its literature from a child’s first lesson through the advanced high school level. Students majoring in an instrument other than piano benefit from the universal knowledge of establishing and managing a teaching studio. Concepts addressing effective teaching and learning how to administer proficiency exams are part of the class as well. In-class teaching experience and outside observations will be conducted to help students of piano pedagogy gain confidence in their ability to be successful teachers.
