Music Schools constitute “vehicles” of art and culture based on music, where multi- faceted development of students is achieved. Musical instruments’ instruction constitutes a fundamental objective as a prerequisite for a deeper understanding of music. Piano is considered as the basic instrument of Western European Music. In the light of the "New School", innovative elements in New Piano Curricula set new prospects for instrumental instruction. The principal aim of the study is to present the innovative "profile" of the Curricula and the methodology implemented for developing the Technical Sector emphasizing on Mandatory Content of Scales, Chords, Cadences and Chord Progressions. Their study, apart from the development of technique, is mostly oriented to music reading, aural perception, improvisation, harmonization and the general development of creativity. Secondly, the study proposes a pedagogical implementation of individual aspects of the Curriculum, and attempts to highlight different skills and approaches arising as “new literacy” required for teaching the piano at Music Schools.
