DIE KLAVIERMINIATUR ALS EIN AUSGANGSPUNKT FÜR MUSIKALISCHE AKTIVITÄTEN VON KINDERN IM GRUNDSCHULALTER

This paper discusses the role of the piano as a didactic instrument for children. The piano offers a great motivational aid in music education and provides an important aid in specific musical activities designed for children. A model scenario, developed by the author, presents a wide array of piano exercises that can be adopted during music lessons. They contain progressively structured musical activities, which are playful in character as well as suggest a specific teaching pedagogy.
