Methodology of Elementary Piano Teaching with Suggestion of Optimal Solution for Selection and Arrangement of Sheet Music
Lorenc, Eva ; Tichá, Libuše (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee) ; Krajný, Boris (referee)
The beginnings of piano playing of children play an important role in laying quality pianistic groundings, which are crucial for their further pianistic development as well as for building their relationship with the instrument and music itself. This thesis is devoted to the study of elementary piano teaching of children aged 5-7 years. The aim of the thesis is to map the current state of piano pedagogy in Czech Republic and to propose optimal methodological procedures and solutions in the initial piano lessons based on modern pedagogical approaches and the needs of contemporary piano pedagogy. In five chapters of the work, this goal will be achieved by examining the historical background of piano schools in Bohemia over the centuries to this day, by setting up theoretical and practical bases for the researched issue and finally by research itself. Within the framework of practical bases, which served as a basis for subsequent research, an optimal methodological approach to teaching in the early stage of piano playing was proposed for children aged 5-7 years, which corresponds to the most modern requirements of the field. The optimal selection and arrangement of sheet music for the given area of pedagogy was also designed with a focus on Czech and foreign piano schools and instructive piano...

The Role of Self-Regulation, Quantity of Practice and Self-Efficacy in Self-Assessment and Improved Performance among Lebanese and Czech Piano Students
Agopian, Vartan ; Gregor, Vít (advisor) ; Palkovská, Jana (referee) ; Sanders, Edel (referee)
This work studies the role of self-regulation and self-efficacy during piano practice in improved self-assessment and performance, since in the last couple of decades, research has shown that number of hours of practice is not the only predictor of improved performance. Piano students at the Beirut and Prague conservatories wrote weekly journals assessing their self-regulation during practice for nine months and then performed in an exam, in addition to filling an online questionnaire. Results showed that students self-regulated mostly using the method and social factors dimension. Moreover, although students in Prague performed a harder repertoire, they were not better in self-regulation compared to the students in Beirut, except for the time dimension of self-regulation. A list of self-regulatory behaviors is presented at the end of the work, in addition to the implications for music educators and piano students and the contributions to the field of music education in terms of preparation for performance in the absence of a teacher. Keywords piano pedagogy, practice, self-assessment, self-efficacy, self-regulation

Hugo Riemann's Correspondence with Josef Jiránek from the Fonds of the Bedřich Smetana Museum
Vejvodová, Petra ; Ottlová, Marta (advisor) ; Hradecká, Dita (referee)
The thesis focuses on autograph letters sent by Hugo Riemann to Josef Jiránek, currently archived in the Bedřich Smetana Museum. The collection includes nine letters (two copies by Josef Jiránek), 12 postal cards and two envelopes. There are also two printed announcements (related to Riemann's 60th birthday.) Apart from addressing the theory of phrasing, Riemann's letters reflect upon theoretical and teaching treatises by both Riemann and Jiránek. The letters served as an invaluable source of information for Riemann's fundamental piece of work, the Musik-Lexikon. The objective of the thesis is to duly transcribe, summarize and comment on the correspondence which has received little attention by scholars so far.
