All these are the perspectives for learning hold by constructivists which cannot be denied as advancement among positions in the areas of teaching and learning.This study project, based on the belief of student-oriented music education, keeps to the dual combination between sense and rationality, employing the research strategies from both quantitative and qualitative approaches. By means of survey study using questionnaire and web search, action research and other scientific methods, it combines with the actual situation to explore the problem and phenomenon in piano teaching. Meanwhile, taking the constructivist concept as the methodology of changing teaching mode, it vividly cites of constructivist concept in teaching process and makes the comparisons through making narrative description on action research.
