Omschrijving
Providing essential tools to transform college piano students into professional piano teachers, Courtney Crappell's Teaching Piano Pedagogy helps teachers develop pedagogy course curricula, design and facilitate practicum-teaching experiences, and guide research projects in piano pedagogy.
This superb book acts as both an encyclope-dia of all aspects of teaching pedagogy and as a guide to creating effective course curricula and creative assignments.
Throughout the book, Crappell presents many ideas for crafting meaningful assignments in the pedagogy classroom. In some ways this book functions as an almost encyclopedic guide to all facets of teaching pedagogy. Truthfully, more than one close reading is required to digest all of the excellent and thought-provoking information presented ... Teaching Piano Pedagogy is a wonderful contribution to the literature, and essential to the professional pedagogue's bookshelf. After reading it, I am inspired to more deeply reflect and reevaluate my own teaching style and methods, both for pedagogy classes and applied lessons.
