The purpose of this study was to examine the practice of using piano in the secondary choral rehearsal setting by examining the functional piano skills used and advocated for by current choral educators with the goal of determining if the level and type of preparation provided by university and college music education teacher preparation programs is adequate in terms of meeting choral directors' "real world" needs. An electronic survey was disseminated to 514 middle school and high school choral directors currently serving in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Research was conducted based on usable responses (N=190) from two groups, those who had completed their undergraduate studies as keyboard majors, and those who had majored in voice or another instrument or related music field. The results of this study point to a number of key points that question how piano proficiency is developed in undergraduate music education programs. For example, when asked if participants were required to take a proficiency exam, 9% reported not having been given any such requirements. Such a response suggests that there is still no general curriculum alignment in higher education with regard to functional piano skills for pre-service choral educators. Also, one-third of the group which reported majoring in voice or another instrument were not given the opportunity to practice accompanying skills, and three-fourths were not given specific instruction in the functional keyboard skill of accompanying. Additionally, 23% of the tested population reported having no ability to accompany an ensemble - a higher number than expected by the researcher.

Piano skills are extremely important to a choral teacher's success, and I always considered my piano playing as a weak point in my teaching. The intent of my project was to dedicate a year of intensive practicing and performing as an accompanist in order to improve my piano technique, gain a wider repertoire of music to use in teaching private lessons and choir, and gain confidence in my abilities as an accompanist. Through one hundred and three hours of documented practice time, eight performance experiences in a variety of settings, and eighteen pieces prepared and performed, my playing has improved dramatically, as has my confidence in my playing. I have also learned important things about myself as a pianist, and have realized how a wide variety of Howard Gardener's Multiple Intelligences are utilized when accompanying.

Teaching Piano in Groups provides a one-stop compendium of information related to all aspects of group piano teaching. Motivated by an ever-growing interest in this instructional method and its widespread mandatory inclusion in piano pedagogy curricula, Christopher Fisher highlights the proven viability and success of group piano teaching, and arms front-line group piano instructors with the necessary tools for practical implementation of a system of instruction in their own teaching. Contained within are: a comprehensive history of group piano teaching; accessible overviews of the most important theories and philosophies of group psychology and instruction; suggested group piano curricular competencies; practical implementation strategies; and thorough recommendations for curricular materials, instructional technologies, and equipment. Teaching Piano in Groups also addresses specific considerations for pre-college teaching scenarios, the public school group piano classroom, and college-level group piano programs for both music major and non-music majors. Teaching Piano in Groups is accompanied by an extensive companion website, featuring a multi-format listing of resources as well as interviews with several group piano pedagogues.
