About This Event

Tactile feedback has long been central to piano teaching with teachers often relying on physical touch to adjust posture and guide technical coordination in ways that words or demonstrations alone cannot fully convey. This program will summarize a research project that involved a tactile feedback device which delivered vibration cues to the student’s finger in real time. Results indicate that tactile feedback through the device provides more immediate and intuitive guidance than verbal or visual cues alone, with the student responding more quickly to corrections and showing greater accuracy in making adjustments.
