Comparative Analysis of Piano Teaching Methods in Higher Educational Institutions of Russia and China

The formulation of the goals and objectives of the comparative analysis in this study is dictated by significant gaps in the scientific understanding of the modern challenges facing piano pedagogy when viewed from a cross-cultural perspective.Despite the importance of the research issues being developed in the era of globalization of music education and active cultural exchange, the scientific study of the problem remains fragmented and uneven.Existing research, as a rule, focuses on individual features of national traditions or is limited to general historical comparisons, without rising to the level of a systematic analysis of modern teaching methods.It is this conceptual gap that defines the main purpose of the work: to identify, systematize and conduct a multi-level comparative analysis of piano teaching methods in universities in Russia and China, based on a comprehensive study of regulatory documents, curricula, scientific and methodological literature and real pedagogical practice
