Representative Etude as a Texture and Touch Sensitivity Enhancement of Piano Playing at Music Study Program
Main Article Content
Abstract
Universitas Negeri Surabaya's Music Study Program has a well-known piano major. The only university in East Java with baby grand piano facilities for lecture activities is Universitas Negeri Surabaya, which has pianos available in every class, including the Music Study Program. This shows that the piano major is a sort of representative lecture space. Comprehensive learning resources are also necessary to support the learning process. This has emerged as a key issue or pressing need in the research. There needs to be a solution to the problem of pupils without a learning tool to use to improve their skills. The research titled "Representative Etude as a Texture and Touch Sensitivity Enhancement of Piano Playing at Music Study Program" was conducted based on the needs analysis. This paper was the result of research and development, and it took the shape of a material book with the etude or repertoire selected to help students improve their ability to play the piano with sophisticated touch sensitivity and varied texture. The research‘s empirical findings can be used to demonstrate how the learning process for the piano major course has changed. This is demonstrated by the effectiveness test results of the course material book, which show percentage rates up to 90%, indicating that students can comprehend and apply all of the information in the book. This material book illustrates how the "Merdeka Belajar" Concept can help pupils study and practice on their own.
