finishes his training, perfectly and easily. He acquires that skill and knows how to move his foot on the
pedal at the right time.(Abu Auf B.,1986 pp. 279-292) The use of pedal - art is based on some simple basic
rules: The first rule; pedal change must be followed directly fiddle harmony, new note, or new melodic. The
second rule: pedal differing treatment depends on the layers of instrument sound, whenever we turn on the
sounds of acute pedal its use must be free and as we head for the big sounds shall it renews the pedal slowly.
The third rule: Renewal of the pedal with every change of Harmony, a base of great importance in the
expression of the mysterious sounds, thin and modern inside harmonies. The rule must take into account the
full accuracy in the application of the basic rules, rather because of its great importance. (Nassif, H., 1977,
P.31-32)!
The researcher prepared a list of items and basic skills through a questionnaire, and the attention of the
experts and professors who specialize in playing the piano. The result of the survey, as shown in the following
table, with some modifications in those items.

DISCUSSION
The Ornaments.
Pedal skill
Through the previous table that demonstrates opinion questionnaire items and the percentage of approval of
the points to be included in the proposed method of teaching the skills of piano performance
We note that all the agreed views of professors who specialize on the validity of all the items, except for item
differed in some ornaments to the difficulty of their performance at the beginning of the learning of the student
novice.
The data showed that the! proposed method of researcher interest in teaching piano skills. These findings
agreed with Study for Yassin A., (2006) which exposed to collect between the modern style of both "J.
Thomposon and H. Hoiman " for learning adults playing the piano. It informed that both styles integrates each
other and it easy for the piano teacher to use a new style and method for playing on the piano. The findings of
the current study were also supported by several studies, such as (El Sawi H., 2006) study in her presentation
and analysis of "Michael Aaron" for learning playing on the piano for the beginners which help the student get to
the good performance through using some of scales with raising and lowering marks. But this is made for each
passage alone. His use of alternative hands style when performing for the first time and by the opposite way of
the two hands by the same numbering of finger. (Saleh S., 1994) this study targeted at studying "Francis Clark's
method" for learning beginners playing on the piano and showing the followed up method in a group of books
"look and listen". And the distinguished points of him as this has an effecting in enlarging the scopes of music
teacher and providing him with some of the modern styles in learning playing on the piano. She pointed out her
findings for Clark's method is different concerning learning beginning, tones, fingers used and added the
guidance's, necessary for model performance
CONCLUSION
From the previous showing of this paper, it appears the modern teaching methods to learn to play the piano,
and the most important of these modern methods and innovative in performance on the piano. As well, how to
develop the playing skills and performance overcome the difficulties of the student from beginner through them
