Abstract: The problem of this study was to determine if the performance standards imposed on the music education major are comparable to the actual performance standards demonstrated in the teaching situation. The purpose was to investigate whether the music education teachers in selected public schools in North Carolina demonstrated piano skills which were stressed in their piano study in their current music teaching situations. The following hypotheses were investigated: (1) no significant relationship exists between 19 skills most frequently stressed in college piano study and those skills demonstrated in teaching;(2) no significant relationship exists between eight audible skills stressed in piano study and those skills demonstrated in teaching as evaluated by the observer and a panel of music specialists; (3) no significant relationship exists between the audible skills most frequently demonstrated in teaching and the audible skills as evaluated by the observer and music specialists; (4) no significant relationship exists between the piano literature studied in college and the piano literature utilized in teaching; and (5) no significant relationship exists between the area of specialization and the utilization of the piano in the teaching situation.
