The Piano in Music Education

The piano presents a complete musical picture, rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically. Piano instruction provides for diversified musical interest:

1. it opens up the field of musical literature,
2. it offers opportunities for self-expression as

• solo performer,

• in private contact with beautiful music,

• in a social group,

• as accompanist,

• in ensembles;
  
  3. it provides a valuable background for the sudy of other instruments and of singing;
  
  4. it is indispensable in the study of harmony, form, and styles.

The practice of piano is the best way to develop an appreciation of other musical performances and allows a joy of self-expression, so essential to emotional satisfaction, that can't be duplicated by simply listening to music. Making music on piano keyboards is the best approach to a true appreciation of music.
