UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM CHANGE MEMO
Date: September 10, 2018 From: Charles Francis Leinberger, Professor, Department of Music Through: Steve Wilson, Chair, Department of Music Through: Denis O’Hearn, Dean, College of Liberal Arts To: Chair, Undergraduate Curriculum Committee Proposal Title: Changes to Piano Pedagogy Sequence Based on the recommendation of the Piano Area coordinator, the faculty of the Department of Music is proposing the following changes: Piano Pedagogy has recently been offered as a single course, MUSE 4394, a course that is taken twice by students in the Bachelor of Music degree in Performance with a Concentration in Keyboard, and three times by students with a Concentration in Keyboard Pedagogy. However, the content of the second and third semesters is progressively more advanced than MUSE 4394. The Piano Area Coordinator has recommended that Piano Pedagogy become a three-semester sequence, each course with a unique number, to accurately reflect this sequence. This also will prevent students from inadvertently enrolling in the wrong semester of the sequence. Attachments:

Course description:
This third semester, required for Piano Pedagogy majors, is an intense and advanced practicum on
teaching. It focuses on observation and the artistry of teaching private and group piano lesson, as
well as performance’s critique and master classes. You are required to have at least two private
students at different levels (A&B). Student A should remain the same student through the
teaching period. This will allow me to see the progress of teaching one student over an extended
period of time. Student/s B can be different students through the teaching period. This will allow
me to see your approach to different students.
Course Goal:
To develop the artistry of teaching individuals, groups, and in master class settings. To gain
experience in teaching, judging, and evaluating students of elementary, intermediate, and advance
levels. In addition, students will teach in a master class setting, presenting a workshop for the
local piano teachers association, and attending a state/national Piano Pedagogy Conference.
Video Taping:
You can use your own equipment, or you can borrow the cameras from the Library to videotape
individual lessons with your students. You must complete a total of twelve lessons. Each lesson
must be uploaded to YouTube and the link sent to me three days prior to our meeting. After each
lesson, we’ll meet and discuss your teaching. You will receive feedback, and it is expected your
teaching will improve through this exercise. Be sure that the camera takes both, yours and the
student’s torso and face, and that the sound and image are clear. You can also bring your student
on campus for observation.
Group Piano observation and teaching:
Observation and teaching of group piano started in Piano Pedagogy II. Piano Pedagogy III will
intensify your teaching time. You’ll be required to observe two UTEP’s Piano Classes, teach two
- 20 minutes- classes with topic/s assigned to you, and two full classes. You can observe classes
by Dr. Macchioni and Dr. Jones. Please see catalog for when classes meet.
You’ll also be required to observe two Piano Classes and teach two-20 minute- classes at local
middle and high schools. I’ll provide you with a list of emails and telephone numbers to contact
and schedule your observations.
