抄録

Japanese public schools introduced instrumental music education in 1947. Several music education systems—like the Suzuki Method and Yamaha—experimented with new teaching methods to cultivate musicality within children. This study describes Otto Miessnerʼs The Melody Way to Play the Piano（ 1924） as a method and guide to synthetically teach Western music and understand its tonality. Otto Miessner devised the Miessner Piano, which was a smaller piano designed for use in schools. He was the president at the Music Supervisors National Conference in 1924 and advocated the slogan “Music for Every Child.” The Suzuki Method and Yamaha Music Education System share commonalities with the Melody Way. The formerʼs technique of learning how to play an instrument through imitation, and the latterʼs stress on the importance of keyboards in early music education and for understanding musical elements—melody, rhythm, harmony, form, style—resonate with the book. While the Miessner Piano arrived in Japan no later than 1924, a date cannot be specified for The Melody Way. Instrumental music education would have emerged in Japan earlier if it had tracked the trend of music education in the USA, after L. W. Masonʼs return to the USA in 1882.
