Challenges in learning the Piano: a critical review of the literature

Learning the piano seeks to provide enriching experiences, although students face challenges. This study aims to provide a solid scientific basis to improve your experience. We conducted a critical review of the current literature and found three key areas. Firstly, metacognitive and emotional approaches are crucial for the performance of young pianists, encouraging reflection and musical understanding. Secondly, performance anxiety negatively affects performance, highlighting the need for emotional regulation strategies. Finally, teacher-student relationships are essential in academic and social development. A dialogic approach is recommended to promote open communication and connection to experience, with relevance in both music and education in general. This study contributes to improving piano teaching and has broader implications in the educational field.
