Abstract(s)

This article’s context is that of specialized teaching of piano music teaching (individual and group), at beginner, basic and professional levels. Considering the peculiarities of each location, we felt the need to record the applicability of the piano teaching methodology of Linda Bustani (1951-) with whom we studied directly. This methodology was published in a book entitled Falando de Piano com Linda Bustani e Luiz Eça [Speaking of Piano with Linda Bustani and Luiz Eça] by Moema Campos. It consists of basic work on the piano, which can be compared to that of a ballerina on the barre. According to Bustani, the trained hand prepares the pianist to achieve full technical mastery and thus be qualified for musical interpretation (Campos, 2017). Linda Bustani's piano teaching methodology, systematized in this article, has been applied by her since 1980 in Brazil, with significant success. Since the 2000s, we have developed this pedagogy as a piano teacher, applying it with students of different ages. We are currently working in Portugal, and we wonder if Linda Bustani's pianistic methodology has similarities with the approach used by teachers in Portugal. To this end, we developed a qualitative descriptive study, which used as data collection instruments, in addition to bibliographical and documentary research, a questionnaire survey to piano teachers. The results point to a similar pedagogical approach used by teachers, despite not knowing Linda Bustani's methodology.
