Abstract
The keyboard literature curriculum should include: intense study of the main keyboard composers and their comprehensive musical contributions in each piano genre, a thorough study of the different national "schools" and contributions and cross-fertilization of each, the evolution (and resurrection) of the different piano genres, societal influences on the creation of piano works, an intense and continual listening component, and frequent writing assignments of an extended nature. The accompanying curriculum should include: individual and group instruction in the media of voice/piano and instrument/piano, diverse performance experience with both vocal and instrumental soloists, opportunities to hear and comment on accompanying performances by peers, an intense listening component and familiarity with prominent and successful accompanists, a repertoire survey and overview to allow students an appreciation of this vast repertory, and an introduction to accompanying techniques such as sight reading, transposition, "damage control," score reading and continuo realization.
