The Teaching Reformation on Digital Piano Collective Class Based on Practical Piano A Case Study of Xinghai Conservatory of Music

Since collective class of digital piano was introduced to China, classrooms of collective class of digital piano have been established in many colleges. But it is a pity that the development of collective class of digital piano is restricted as there is no unified idea on the significance and influence of "applied talents", thus lacking of a definite direction and scientific standpoint for the development of collective class of digital piano. The purpose of teaching it and the purpose of teachers' education are distinctly in two directions. On the basis of the consideration for both students who study piano as a major and those who study piano as a minor, it adjusts the proportion of piano teaching in the whole, integrating the theoretical courses such as piano accompaniment course, solfeggio course, music theory course, harmonics course and composition course into the course of "practical piano". It adopts the mode of cooperative teaching of multiple courses to realize the close combination between piano teaching and other disciplines. It combines piano playing, basic music theory and basic composition theory by the teaching methods and characters of practical piano emphasizing the connection and application of disciplines. Creates a new situation for piano education in China.
