The proposed program of study consists of a series of objectives for four semesters of study; the lesson plans are intended to serve as a model for Chinese colleges and universities that might want to implement this proposed program.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe literature from Chinese and American sources in the fields of general education and music education was reviewed as well as literature on group piano instruction in America. A questionnaire was mailed to the chairpersons of seven selected colleges and universities, the only schools currently offering music degree programs in Taiwan. The questionnaire was designed to gather general information on the participating schools and specific information on piano requirements for secondary students, as well as other information on piano teaching modes.en_US
dc.description.abstractAll seven colleges and universities completed and returned the questionnaires. A general description of the participating schools was presented with specific information on music degree programs and piano requirements. The data confirmed that piano instruction for secondary piano students in Taiwan is limited to private lessons. Traditional private lessons emphasize the study of standard repertoire and technique. There are little or no functional skills involved.en_US
