Piano Ped 13. From these different views, I have developed my own ideas about what piano teaching and in a broader view, what musical teaching is all about. It is an incorporation of all my experiences, which I constantly add to and refine.
Teaching requires three things.
The teacher, the subject, and the student. Each one of them important in their own way. A good teaching philosophy incorporates all of these elements and understands the interactions between them. The basic definition of a teacher is one who instructs and passes a new idea to someone else. However, I believe that a piano teacher also incorporates a bigger purpose.
