Contact: turtletop@hotmail.com Saturday, November 13, 2004 WILLIAM CHAPMAN NYAHO I thought of this Friday night while attending a recital by the Ghanaian-born, English- and American-educated, and Northwest American-dwelling pianist William Chapman Nyaho at the St. Ignatius Chapel of Seattle University not far from my house. In his renderings of piano transcriptions of Bach pieces, he would place the slightest pause between phrases, a sort of musical comma. It was one attractive feature of an enrapturing recital. Nyaho opened with three Bach pieces as a sort of pianistic introduction and familiar audience warm-up to a concert of music that was probably otherwise unfamiliar to everybody in the hall, including me. His Bach was a lovely getting-to-know-you greeting, because Nyaho specializes in music of composers of African descent. In addition to a thoroughly expert and very personal approach to rhythm, Nyaho draws a wonderful array of colors from the piano. Treble phrases can sound like trumpets or flutes; chordal passages can call to mind string sections or trombones. “The piano is like an orchestra” I had never experienced the truth of this old saw with such clarity before.

PIANO PEDAGOGY FORUM v. 7, No. 2/July 1, 2004 FORUM ON PIANO PEDAGOGY Susanna Garcia is the Coordinator of Keyboard at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where she teaches piano, piano pedagogy and lectures in the interdisciplinary humanities program. Dr. Garcia has presented workshops and papers on a variety of topics for the College Music Society, Music Teachers National Association, National Association for Humanities Education, Louisiana Music Teachers Association, Texas Music Teachers Association, Texas Music Educators Association, and a host of other state music teacher groups. Her work has appeared in such publications as 19th Century Music and Interdisciplinary Humanities Susanna Garcia School of Music University of Louisiana at Lafayette Lafayette, LA 70504 spg6611@louisiana.edu Learning Styles and Piano Teaching by Susanna Garcia This article first appeared in Volume 5, No. 1, January 1, 2002. These difficult experiences are not unique to piano teachers but shared by all who teach. Through learning styles research, teachers are finding ways to turn these failures into successes. Many educators believe that a better understanding of how students obtain, process and internalize information will result in more effective and efficient teaching. This management of information by a student is referred to as the student's learning style. There are many theories of learning style, mostly familiar to educators, but largely unknown to music teachers. Such theories have considered analytical vs. global learning styles, personality types, multiple intelligences, and learning modalities. This article focuses on modality theory and provides help for teachers who wish to identify a student's learning style and adapt their teaching to better match the student's needs.
