Abstract
The topics most frequently addressed at the Conference were Practice Teaching (20.5%), Pedagogy Curriculum Program (18.0%), Technology (16.6%), Learning Theories (15.2%), Literature (13.1%), and Performance (12.0%). Among the least frequently discussed (2.8% or less) were Piano Materials, History of Piano Pedagogy, Music Education/Piano Pedagogy Relationship, Research in Piano Pedagogy, and Students Participation. Topics related to performance (Medical Problems, Collaborative Performance, Performance Majors) increased in the two last meetings. The format analysis indicated a growth in the teaching demonstration sessions, in the music industry presence, and in the performance teachers' participation. However, the presentation of papers at the meetings decreased.
