Coupled with the rapid development of Chinese economy, while people enjoythe material life, the need of spiritual life such as art and aesthetics becomes the goalof people. Under this circumstance, there has been the phenomenon of “piano craze”in our building the Well-off Society. The rising piano education along with Chineseeconomy development led to a series of practical problems, the interest in the pianostudy is one of most intractable problems.There has been such an opinion that only interest could let people learn the pianowell; interest plays a decisive role in children’s piano study. But this is not the fact.The author does not think that interest plays a decisive role in the early stages ofchildren’s piano study; on the contrary, the decisive role is mainly played by“compulsion”.Children’s physical and psychological feather determines their unsteady interestin the piano study. In addition, the piano study is a very long and hard process, whichgoes beyond the conscious work for a child to be able to do. So, interest cannotmaintain alone the whole process of piano study, compulsion must participate intochildren’s piano study.Interest and compulsion does not contradict each other, but they depend on eachother and can convert mutually. We should lose no opportunity to convert compulsioninto interest of higher level to realize the transformation of interest and compulsionand interest, and let interest return back to children’s piano study.The paper is divided into six parts except for introduction and conclusion.
