Piano Lessons/Student Recruitment ~For Piano Pedagogy Course Students~

Piano Pedagogy Course student recruitment flyer

Our university offers specialized courses from the third year onwards to further enhance specialization and hone non-specialized skills. One of these courses is the "Piano Piano Pedagogy Course," which provides a systematic learning experience on how to teach piano. While attending specialized classes as a piano instructor, students also take a two-year "Piano Teaching Research" practical course in which they teach piano to children. In this "Piano Teaching Research" course, students visit the homes of students from kindergarten to elementary school age and gain piano teaching experience, with the aim of learning how to apply what they have learned theoretically to actual teaching.
We are currently looking for students to participate in this class.
This program is part of our educational curriculum, so please understand its purpose before applying.

Please be sure to check the "Application Guidelines" before applying.
