Abstract

This pilot study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of special training programs based on spatial intelligence theory for improving piano skills in children. The study involved 30 subjects aged 8 – 10 years (n=30), who were divided into experimental and control groups. Both groups used the "Pentagram Teacher" software as an evaluation tool for pre-test and post-test. The experimental group received a 1-month training period designed according to the theory of spatial intelligence.Using t-test (all known as independent samples t-test) to study the difference between Group for Pre-test, Post-test total 2 items, different Group samples for Pre-test all show consistency and there is no difference. The other Group samples show significance (p<0.05) for Post-test total 1 item, which means that different Group samples have differences for Post-test. By analyzing the experimental results, there is a positive correlation between the improvement of children's piano visual player ability and the visual player training designed based on the spatial intelligence theory.
