"Piano pedagogy is the basis of any pianist s education and future. Throughout music history, the approach to attain a proper piano education has varied. Different schools of thought have influenced the ways pianists are trained in both technique and repertoire. The differences in piano pedagogy depend on both the pianist s and pedagogue s nationality and what type of literature is composed and heard during that time period."
