The  pedagogical strategies and teaching environment used with children  and teens are not necessarily successful in working with the adult  population.  Andragogy, an educational term used to denote the  unique learning relationships and environments that occur when  adults are teaching other adults, addresses some of the core issues  of this term.  This monograph includes summaries of many  influential research projects and theories regarding adult education,  leisure and recreational learning, music education for adults, and  keyboard teaching for adults.  It continues with a unique research  study that sheds light on the attitudes, motivations, opinions,  backgrounds, and demographics of career-aged adults (30-55)  currently enrolled in keyboard lessons.  Eight possible profiles of  adult keyboard students are hypothesized.  Three distinct profiles  emerge based on a unique research study: The Serious Amateur, the  Amicable Amateur, and the Late Bloomer.  The conclusions and  implications of this research inform keyboard teachers, Piano  Pedagogy instructors, and anyone who teaches adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838391298\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMotivations, Preferences, Backgrounds and Attitudes of Adult Piano Students\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838391298","offer_id":39498879795293,"sku":"9783838391298","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/afa19217-ba96-49e3-afdb-c6465ceae4ed.jpg?v=1758348667","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/not-just-big-kids-von-thomas-swenson","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
