5.13 Engaging students with a fun whole-body exercise

This video documents a shift from verbal instruction to kinaesthetic learning to increase proprioceptive awareness. After observing a student struggling with posture—specifically slouching and limited lower-body engagement—the instructor moves away from the piano to lead a whole-body “pulse” exercise. While the instructor plays a rhythmic piece, the student engages their torso and extremities to internalise the beat. This illustrates the dynamic, reciprocal interplay between student performance and the adaptive teaching strategies observed throughout the longitudinal intervention.This intervention transforms a dry technical correction into a dynamic interaction, gradually improving the student’s physical alignment and internal sense of rhythm through active listening and movement. The exercise proves effective within the sessions, enabling the student to experience proper alignment and bodily engagement in a playful, non-judgmental way.This video forms part of a broader research project investigating the development of coordinated movement in piano performance, with applications in piano pedagogy, injury prevention, and performance enhancement.

本视频记录了一场从口头指导转向动觉学习（kinaesthetic learning）的教学实践，旨在提升学习者的本体感知觉（proprioceptive awareness）水平。在观察到学生存在姿态异常问题——具体表现为含胸驼背与下肢参与度不足后，授课教师离开钢琴，带领学生开展一项全身‘律动’练习。在教师演奏一段节奏性乐曲期间，学生通过调动躯干与四肢，内化节拍感知。该案例展现了本次纵向干预（longitudinal intervention）全程中，学生演奏表现与教师适应性教学策略之间动态且双向的互馈关系。
该干预将枯燥的技术矫正转化为富有活力的互动体验，通过主动聆听与肢体运动，逐步改善学生的身体姿态与内在节奏感。该练习在课堂中展现出良好成效，使学生能够以轻松、无评判的方式体会正确的身体姿态与肢体参与状态。
本视频隶属于一项旨在探究钢琴演奏协调动作发展规律的大型研究项目，其研究成果可应用于钢琴教学法（piano pedagogy）、演奏损伤预防（injury prevention）以及演奏效能提升（performance enhancement）等领域。
