Abstract
used group instruction in piano as a means of teaching musicianship to vocal and instrumental majors required to study piano as a secondary instrument. Group instruction has become increasingly popular at the college level and is being used more now than ever before. I believe that every member of these group instruction classes should be exposed to the model of comprehensive musicianship-stressing creation, performance, and analysis-that has been advocated by the Contemporary Music Project. But what are the implications for instructional procedures in group piano instruction if comprehensive musicianship is to be taught? The first aspect of comprehensive musicianship is creation. Most students in group piano classes have probably been involved in improvising motifs, phrases, and short compositions at the keyboard to develop their creative skills. Many teachers also think of improvisation as the selection of appropriate accompaniments and harmonic progressions when melodies are being harmonized.
