| Today, piano teachings in Chinese normal universities are primarily focusing on the playing skill. What they are teaching is not systematic. And little attention is paid to the teaching competency. This skill-oriented teaching method runs counter to the philosophy of higher normal education. Therefore, the piano teaching method in normal universities must undergo reform.This paper puts forward a piano teaching scheme based on transfer theory. It holds that piano teaching shall focus on developing students' study transfer ability, enabling the students to learn and master a study skill by themselves, thus building up more scientific structure of knowledge and structure of cognition. In this way, the goal can be achieved to develop a student's comprehensive quality.This paper completes relevant researches by using documents, investigations, tests, and comparison. It introduces the transfer theory into piano teaching in normal universities, devising a teaching model based on the transfer theory, and providing a comprehensive guidance in this regards. The author has also made designs for practical teaching design, testifying the effectiveness of the theory in piano teaching through theory and practice.All in all, the research result possesses not only important value for theoretical study, but great value in practical application. |
