It offers practical advice to studio music teachers how to focus and sustain their journey of working with student musicians. The author draws on current music education research, giants of the performance world, music philosophers, and a 30-year career as a piano pedagogy instructor in Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a humane, emancipatory, and generous approach to teaching by grappling with some of the most fundamental issues behind and consequences of studio music teaching. More experiential than abstract and cerebral, it demonstrates how teaching beginner piano students involves an attentiveness to musical concerns like our connection to music, learning to play by ear and by reading, caring for music, the importance of tone and technique, and helping students develop fluency through their accumulated repertoire. Teaching beginner students also draws on personal aspects like independence and authenticity, the moral and ethical dignity associated with democratic relationships, and meaningful conversations with parents. Further, another layer of teaching beginners acknowledges both sides of the coin in terms of growth and rest, teaching \u003ci\u003ewhat is \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ewhat might be, \u003c\/i\u003eas well as supporting and challenging student development. In this view, how teachers fuel authentic student musicians from the beginning is intimately connected to the knowledge, beliefs, and values that permeate their thoughts and actions in everyday life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Piano Pedagogy \u003c\/i\u003estands out as a much-needed instructional resource with immense personal, practical, social, philosophical, educational, and cultural relevance for today's studio music teachers. Its humanistic and holistic approach invites teachers to consider not only who they are and what music means to them, but also what they have yet to imagine about themselves, about music, their students, and life.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45276046885015,"sku":"9783319655321","price":5141.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319655321.webp?v=1769284571","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fundamentals-of-piano-pedagogy-fuelling-authentic-student-musicians-from-the-beginning-9783319655321","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
