Using factors extrapolated from historical and social science literatures to frame the observations of twenty current U.S. piano teachers, A Portrait of Contemporary U.S. Piano Teachers: A Musical Journey explores the contemporary U.S. piano teacher through a social science lens. Drawing on many interviews and on her personal experience with teaching piano, Barbara Stolz argues that each teacher is an artist and a pedagogue, teaching approaches are eclectic and pragmatic, and knowing each student is paramount.
