Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present and to discuss a specific model of self-similar cyclical practical piano learning in music teacher education. For this purpose, a spiral, hierarchical development model based on Bruner (1960/1977) and Kraler & Schratz (2012), didactically specified in Blum (2019), is implemented in the field of piano pedagogy. The findings will be used to infer measures for the teaching of practical piano in the context of initial music teacher education. From this, inno-vative longer-term perspectives are derived for the specific role and function of the “practical piano” within the framework of the further development and professionalisation of music teacher training.
