Learning and teaching are two sides of the same coin. In this course, we shall investigate the process of learning and how we, as teachers, participate in this process. The practical approach to teaching at different levels will focus on such considerations as the psychology of learning and teaching, the study and evaluation of teaching repertoire and materials, the use of technology in teaching, as well as approaches to the learning and teaching of keyboard skills and musical literacy. The course will include lecture, discussion, and demonstration sessions and, in addition, can serve as a practicum for participants with students of their own.
