Excerpt from The Art of Teaching Pianoforte Playing: A Systematized Selection of Practical Suggestions for Young Teachers and Students
Many pianists who add to concert playing the labours of a teacher; many young students about to enter upon the duties of the teaching profession as their life's labour; and indeed, not a few of those who have spent years at the work of giving lessons in pianoforte playing, fail to achieve the success their abilities deserve, simply for the lack of some clear, systematic, practical knowledge of the art of teaching. My intention then is, to set down, in some orderly and lucid form, such information as may prove helpful to all teachers in the practice of their art.
A serious study of the subjects of pianoforte playing and pianoforte teaching for many years; long and wide experience as a teacher, throughout which earnest attention was given to method and effectiveness in teaching; and not a little practice as a writer upon subjects connected with pianoforte study, may perhaps be regarded as a suitable equipment for this undertaking.
