A COMPARISON OF AKIRA MIYOSHI'S MIYOSHI PIANO METHOD WITH NANCY AND RANDALL FABER'S PIANO ADVENTURES BASED ON ROYAL AMERICAN CONSERVATORY EXAMINATION (RACE)

HAYASE, TAKAKO

Abstract Details

2006, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music : Piano.
Akira Miyoshi’s Miyoshi Piano Method was introduced to me by Dr. Bonnie Wade during her visit to the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati. Just as I was not aware of the existence of this method at the time, Miyoshi’s method is not currently well known in the United States. However, Miyoshi was the president of the Preparatory School of Toho Gakuen in my childhood, and I was required to play his compositions for juries; therefore, I am familiar with the valuable features in Miyoshi’s compositions. I will document and describe his pedagogical approach in Miyoshi Piano Method and introduce it as a worthy rival to the well-known method in the United States, Piano Adventures by Nancy and Randall Faber. This document concludes with the results of the comparison by analyzing strengths and weakness of both methods. Currently, a Japanese method, the Suzuki Method, is widely accepted as one of the most popular piano method in the United States. I hope to introduce another Japanese method, the Miyoshi Piano Method, to American readers.
