Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide methods to improve the teaching of piano technique of intermediate-level learners through the works of Stephen Heller by focusing on rhythm and balance. Although a romantic-era composer, Stephen Heller's works are not well-known. However, when analyzing his compositions, many require the player to focus on their foundational piano techniques and musicality. Heller composed many interesting works including etudes that allow intermediate-level pianists to develop their musicality as much as those playing Chopin or Liszt from the same era. This study presents teaching methods for developing piano technique by focusing on rhythm and balance, and for enhancing musicality to improve the quality and significance of piano education and pedagogical research.
