Piano Pedagogy: Teaching Method 1- Students from University of Toronto, Class 2023
I really liked this course. It opened a new window to piano pedagogy for me. With musical biography, we all shared our valuable experiences to each other and leaned many things. With Method Project, it was a great opportunity to compare different methods and choose the best ones for us. By Mock teaching project, we gathered informations from all previous lessons and it was very good challenge to teach a piece in a short time. Thank you for this exciting course!
It was a course that required a lot of work and assignments [but] I found this all very beneficial as I learned A LOT. Very good course. :)
I really enjoyed the class. I've never taught piano in an official capacity and I feel more confident in approaching teaching children.
Piano Skills for Professional Music Teachers- Students from University of Toronto, Class 2020
This course would be about more than just learning how to play a Bach Fugue through muscle memory. This course is actually dedicated to education majors, and it has been challenging, but extremely useful for me.
Pei–Chen did amazing even though we had to move online. She was very understanding and kind while also ensuring that we learned as much as we could.
The course instructor did a great job at creating this uplifting and helpful environment, and it was a breath of fresh air having a teacher who you know will never get frustrated at you for not being able to do something on the first try, especially in such a technically demanding program.
This course has shown me that playing the piano doesn't have to be scary, and I am excited to learn and play more.
I find that this course really helped me to enjoy playing piano again and get some fun out of it, which I really appreciate.
