More about this title

About the Author: Jeanine M. Jacobson

Jeanine M. Jacobson

Jeanine M. Jacobson built her pedagogical foundation through 25 years of independent studio teaching, working directly with students across all levels and learning what actually works in real practice rooms. She pursued formal graduate training at the University of Minnesota and earned her doctorate from the University of Oklahoma, grounding her practical experience in rigorous academic study.

Jacobson spent two decades on the faculty at California State University, Northridge, where she taught piano and piano pedagogy courses. She now holds emeritus status there, continuing to shape how piano teachers approach their craft through her writing and contributions to the field.

Why we love this

This text moves beyond prescriptive lists to focus on the reasoning behind teaching decisions, which is exactly what experienced teachers need when moving into pedagogy instruction or curriculum design. Jacobson's dual foundation in studio reality and academic training makes her advice immediately applicable without sacrificing theoretical depth.

Who it's for

Piano teachers preparing for or already teaching intermediate and advanced students, instructors designing a second-semester piano pedagogy course, and studio teachers seeking a comprehensive reference on how to structure instruction beyond elementary levels.

How to use it

Use this as the primary text for a second-semester piano pedagogy course or upper-division seminar on teaching intermediate and advanced students. Studio teachers can reference specific chapters as they encounter teaching challenges with transfer students, prepare advanced students for college auditions, or refine their approach to repertoire selection and stylistic interpretation.
