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
individual piano students. This is often done via private or semiprivate
instructions, commonly referred to as piano
lessons. The practitioners of piano pedagogy are called piano pedagogues, or simply, piano teachers.
The range of professionalism among teachers of piano is
undoubtedly wide The factors
which affect the professional quality of a piano teacher include one's
competence in musical performance, knowledge of musical genres, music history
and theory, piano repertoire, experience in teaching, ability to adapt one's
teaching method to students of different personalities and learning styles,
education level, and so on.
