The traditions of piano teaching have remained virtually unchanged
for generations, beginning with the influential technique of Muzio
Clementi (1752-1832), the first composer-pedagogue of the
instrument. His was followed by an explosion of sometimes bizarre
teaching systems, perhaps most notably Hanon's "The Virtuoso
Pianist"-exacting drills of reinforcement by repetition, often to
the disillusionment of beginners. Some 150 years later, these
methods-considered absurd or abusive by many students-have evolved
and persevered as part of music curricula in higher education.
Reflecting the author's belief that learning piano is both
gratifying and exasperating, this book critically examines two
centuries of teaching practices and encourages instructors to seek
more efficient and inspiring exercises.
