This book was released on 2010 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to gather information about professional musicians' development and use of functional piano skills in their careers. An online questionnaire was distributed to (N = 393) faculty members, professional performers, and private music instructors from different regions and institutions. The survey gathered information about their careers, piano training, use of functional piano skills, and proposals for the piano training of undergraduate music majors in their field. In total, 109 musicians completed the study: faculty members (n = 43), performers (n = 38), and teachers (n = 28). The results of this study showed that faculty members, performers and teachers generally performed similar musical activities, had comparable piano training, used similar piano skills, and agreed with each other about their suggestions for undergraduate piano training. There were, however, subtle differences among the three groups in the frequency with which they used functional piano skills. Professional musicians regularly transposed melodies, sight-read accompaniments, and played scales. They never improvised accompaniments, practiced and memorized piano solos, devised modulations, composed, and accompanied groups. In addition to the three skills that all professional musicians used, faculty members also played by ear, played chord progressions, and accompanied soloists regularly, performers regularly transposed accompaniments, harmonized melodies, and accompanied soloists, and teachers read open scores and transposed accompaniments frequently. Generally, professional musicians thought that piano skills were important to their careers, and many would have liked additional training on accompanying. Although most piano skills were learned outside of collegiate piano classes, participants in this study, regardless of the frequency with which they used these skills, thought that music majors should receive piano training on five skills: playing chord progressions, playing scales, sight-reading, harmonizing melodies, and reading open scores. Many participants indicated that practicing and memorizing piano solos were skills that should receive little training in collegiate piano classes. It is suggested that creating a group piano curriculum that effectively develops the functional piano skills valued and used by professional musicians becomes a priority for group piano teachers and researchers working on the preparation of professional musicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Piano in Groups provides a one-stop compendium of information related to all aspects of group piano teaching. Motivated by an ever-growing interest in this instructional method and its widespread mandatory inclusion in piano pedagogy curricula, Christopher Fisher highlights the proven viability and success of group piano teaching, and arms front-line group piano instructors with the necessary tools for practical implementation of a system of instruction in their own teaching. Contained within are: a comprehensive history of group piano teaching; accessible overviews of the most important theories and philosophies of group psychology and instruction; suggested group piano curricular competencies; practical implementation strategies; and thorough recommendations for curricular materials, instructional technologies, and equipment. Teaching Piano in Groups also addresses specific considerations for pre-college teaching scenarios, the public school group piano classroom, and college-level group piano programs for both music major and non-music majors. Teaching Piano in Groups is accompanied by an extensive companion website, featuring a multi-format listing of resources as well as interviews with several group piano pedagogues.

Book excerpt: A pianist's post-college life is richly diverse and multi-faceted due to the wide array of possible career options. During one's professional life, a pianist could be called upon to perform as soloist, chamber musician, duo partner, choral accompanist, or orchestral pianist, along with several other types of collaborative positions. In order for young professionals to meet the demands of a highly competitive job market, they must develop a flexible set of skills that will open an assortment of career paths. Because the job description for pianists has evolved over the past several hundred years, it is essential that undergraduate programs provide an education that leads to the development of a comprehensive pianist trained for both solo and collaborative performance settings. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the body of research in the area of collaborative piano pedagogy, specifically concerning the development of piano accompanists at the undergraduate level. The primary component of the project consisted of the researcher designing a grading system for developmental collaborative piano repertoire and organizing vocal works with piano accompaniment into a developmental collaborative piano curriculum for use at the undergraduate level. Based on the characteristics of each selection, the pieces were placed at the appropriate difficulty level using the criteria of the grading rubric. The secondary element of this study was to provide a compendium of developmental collaborative repertoire with detailed annotations that described the musical, technical, and ensemble challenges, as well as pedagogical reasoning for inclusion in the curriculum. It was the investigator's intent that this resource serve as an instructional guide and practical resource manual for young accompanists or teachers of collaborative and ensemble skills. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developmental collaborative piano curriculum, the researcher employed the use of outside graders (N = 5) from major universities across the United States. Reviewers assessed the technical, musical, and ensemble requirements for each difficulty level of the grading rubric, as well as the selected repertoire, difficulty grade given to each piece, and the order of the music in the curriculum. The experts had the opportunity to express their opinions and give advice for the grading rubric and selected collaborative repertoire, as well as suggestions for pieces to be added or removed from the curriculum. Once all responses were collected from the reviewers, the researcher compared the information to choose the pieces, and help establish the appropriate grade level and placement in the overall curriculum for each collaborative work. The completed curriculum is made up of 4 levels that coincide with an undergraduate student's 4 years of study. Each level contains 60 pieces that are graded and leveled using its technical, musical, and ensemble difficulties. This study provided valuable information on the effectiveness of the grading criteria designed to level the vocal pieces with piano accompaniment, as well as insight into the grading of developmental collaborative repertoire, selected pieces used to teach collaborative skills at varying levels of difficulty, appropriate order in which to introduce the collaborative skills, and proper sequencing for the pieces in the curriculum. The information gained added to the teaching practices and resources utilized for the preparation of undergraduate accompanists and presented a clear description of the skills introduced to piano majors during their undergraduate education. This project also contributed to the successful preparation of students as they enter the professional field and increased the understanding of the specialized skills that will benefit students in any musical endeavors they choose to pursue in the future.
