More about this title
About the Composer: Jeanine M. Jacobson
Jeanine M. Jacobson built her pedagogical foundation through 25 years of private teaching, where she developed practical solutions to the real challenges studio teachers face. She later formalized this expertise with graduate study at the University of Minnesota and doctoral work at the University of Oklahoma, then spent two decades as a professor of piano and piano pedagogy at California State University, Northridge. She now holds emeritus status there.
Albert Mendoza collaborated with Jacobson on this comprehensive second volume, bringing additional perspective to the pedagogy framework. Together, they created a resource that honors both the theoretical underpinnings of music learning and the day-to-day realities of teaching intermediate and advanced students.
Why we love this
This volume moves beyond listing what intermediate and advanced students should learn and instead provides concrete strategies for how to teach it. The inclusion of learning theory alongside practical techniques, combined with musical examples and end-of-chapter projects, makes it immediately applicable whether you're prepping a new pedagogy course or refreshing your own studio practices.
Who it's for
This textbook serves piano pedagogy instructors teaching second-semester or upper-division courses, as well as experienced studio teachers seeking to deepen their approach to intermediate and advanced instruction. It's essential for anyone preparing students for college auditions or building a curriculum around stylistic interpretation and artistic performance.
How to use it
Adopt this as your primary text for a second-semester pedagogy course, allowing students to build on foundational knowledge from an introductory volume. The chapter structure supports semester-long pacing, with projects that bridge theory and teaching practice. Studio teachers will reference it repeatedly as they encounter specific challenges: a student stuck on technique, another struggling with memorization, a transfer student arriving unprepared.
Skills your students will build

- selecting appropriate repertoire for different student levels and learning goals
- applying learning theory to practice planning and motivation strategies
