2 Print Preview : Course Revision Form : Bulk Print 3/2/16, 11:28 AM Because piano pedagogy is concerned with the teaching of piano literature, it is logical that the two topics would be taught together, rather than separately as has been done in the past. No new research or data has compelled us to combine piano pedagogy and literature; rather, the new course is a corrective to deficiencies previously encountered. While there is direct connection between piano pedagogy and other music pedagogies, and also between piano literature and other music literatures, there is no significant overlap either with existing courses or with new revised courses. Enter the changes to the catalog description of your course A short study of piano pedagogy and piano literature with exploration and analysis of significant teaching methodologies and piano music between the 18th and 21st centuries. Structured opportunities to student teach will be provided under the supervision of a faculty member. Prerequisite: Junior standing or permission of the instructor. 4 credits. Please describe the rationale for this change To better reflect the expanded emphasis of the course. Choose the course's revised number of credits from the list below 4 Please describe the rationale for this change We are combining two separate courses (each course having 2 credits) into a single course with 4 credits.
