A Comparative Study: Two Generations of Female Piano Teachers
Katie Kinnaman, a piano pedagogy student at San Diego State University, is currently gathering information for her MA thesis. As is true with any study, the more information she can gather, the more truthful the results will be. Please take some time to complete her online survey. She will be grateful for your participation.
I’m confident that the study will present some interesting revelations to the craft of teaching. And I’m hoping that we will all be privileged to see the results and learn from them.
Read on to see her formal request. Using the comment field below, feel free to direct your questions to Katie about her study.

Dear Piano Teacher,
My name is Katie Kinnaman and I am a graduate student from the School of Music and Dance at San Diego State University. To fulfill the requirements for the degree M.A. in Piano Pedagogy I have selected a thesis topic that requires survey responses from female piano teachers located throughout the United States. The study will compare generational similarities and differences in teachers and students, and will discover if and how a former generation of teachers has adapted their studio practices to the twenty-first century. It will be specific to female piano teachers who A) taught piano lessons between the time period of January 01, 1970 and December 31, 1979 and are currently between 48 and 70 years of age, or B) taught piano lessons between the time period of January 01, 2000 and December 31, 2009 and are currently between 18 and 40 years of age.
I have been doing a nationwide search for piano teachers, and I am wondering if you might be able to help me by taking my confidential, online survey that will give you the opportunity to represent other female piano teachers from your area.
The survey is entitled “A Comparative Study: 2 Generations of Female Piano Teachers.” Clicking on the link will take you directly to the survey.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, which is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Katie Kinnaman
