An Investigation of Piano Training in Higher Education and Suggestions for Preparing Secondary School Music Teachers in Taiwan, the Republic of China

Recommendations include: (1) implementing a certificate program that addresses requirements both in professional education and specialized areas in applied music degree programs; (2) establishing minimum standards in music performing competencies to ensure national consistency in teacher training; (3) teaching courses in small groups, that stress functional keyboard skills for the benefit of future teachers; (4) encouraging more interaction between leaders in higher education and teachers in the field to reduce discrepancies between preservice training and inservice demands.
