Practical Interpretation of Piano Playing Techniques and Ideas for Performance Oriented Teaching from the Perspective of Piano Works

Abstract

The number of people learning piano for aesthetic education in China is increasing year by year, and the popularity of piano art education is expanding. The industry is developing rapidly, but the teaching quality has not kept up with the development pace. The overall development of piano teaching is not balanced. Currently, most piano teaching only focuses on skill training, mainly exercising students' finger flexibility and training basic performance skills. Teaching rarely pays attention to the understanding of works, aesthetic cultivation, and emotional expression, which are the core of piano aesthetic education. This teaching method that only emphasizes technique can enable students to master standard playing methods and lay a solid foundation for performance. However, students have difficulty independently understanding musical works and cannot flexibly interpret according to the characteristics of the works. Many students are proficient in playing techniques but cannot express the musical style and emotions of different works, and their artistic expression ability is generally insufficient. This study combines the practical experience of piano teaching and stage performance on the front line, selects classic piano works of three mainstream styles (Baroque, Classical, and Romantic) as research objects, and conducts research by referring to industry survey data and existing academic materials. The research mainly analyzes two basic playing techniques (staccato and dynamic control), clarifies the usage standards of these two techniques in different musical styles, and sorts out the matching characteristics between techniques and the styles of works. At present, there are many problems in the training methods, teaching concepts, and implementation of stratified teaching in piano teaching. This paper addresses these problems and builds a complete teaching optimization plan, which specifically includes stratified detailed training, teaching combining technique and aesthetics, and intelligent teaching assistance, which can effectively improve the problems of traditional mechanical training and help learners simultaneously improve their playing skills and musical aesthetic abilities.
