Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Answers to Criticisms of Piano Class Instruction, Vol. 1 We believe this pamphlet constitutes a valuable addition to the literature on piano classes issued by the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music. Most of our booklets on this subject treat it from the positive angle by presenting the advantages primarily and, in a broad and impartial way, the net benefits to be derived. "Answers to Criticisms of Class Piano Instruction" concentrates on the negative side of this increasingly important subject. The negative side is usually considered to be an unpopular approach in presenting constructive thoughts concerning any line of endeavor, yet if there are misapprehensions, I believe the greatest service can be rendered by treating them boldly, specifically, and directly. Herein lies the great contribution which this booklet makes to the steadily growing literature on group piano instruction, and the authors are to be congratulated on the clear-cut and yet impartial way in which they have undertaken to remove disturbing doubts. They have listed the objections for the purpose of exposing them to expert and non-partisan evaluation based on wide experience, so we may know how real or how imaginary this negative side is. To the skeptics, and particularly to those teachers who have been confronted with difficulties and problems they could not meet, the negative side has seemed very real. While Miss Mason and Mr. Burrows do not claim, in these answers, to speak with conclusive authority, because no one individual or limited group could do this, they do speak from a long period of successful experience. Although there are undoubtedly many differences of opinion among the leading minds in the piano class field, there is a unanimity of judgment on the point that practically all the difficulties can be overcome. The authors tell how they would handle each problem. Added weight will be attached to their opinion because of the broad character of their experience. Miss Mason encountered and overcame these problems while personally teaching in the schools of Rochester, New York, during a period of eight years and later studied them from a national vantage point as the Piano Class Specialist of the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music.
