The instructor needs to help students to pave the road towards the next level during the intermediate-level study process. After finishing the learning process by playing various pieces of intermediate repertoire, students should already have the basic ability to read the score and learn the note pitches and rhythm patterns by themselves. Also, under the instructor’s guidance, the student should have the ability to illustrate the shaping of the phrase with appropriate dynamics to interpret the meaningful moments in the music. There is no doubt that music interpretation is always closely connected with harmonic analysis. Thus, students can understand the effect of tension and release in different harmonic progressions. From this point, basic theory knowledge and application of this to music interpretation requires more guidance from the instructor. Also, according to the book The Well -Tempered Keyboard Teacher, Chapter 8, students must master the skill of listening to the sound of their own playing and develop an awareness of the expressive features of music as a language of communication if they are to become independent. This procedure seeks to educate students on what it means to be musical beings.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USPianoChinese charactersChinese piano musicChinese harmony systemIntermediate level pianoTerminal Project
