Group teaching is a necessary method to develop a pianist. Make sure the students in the group do the correct cooperative practice, guiding students to flexibly grasp the physical control during performance and accurately judge the piano timbre is of great significance for improving teaching efficiency. To more comprehensively predict the factors that may affect group teaching, in addition to analyzing and explaining the causal relationship between individual students and teaching, this paper also includes the possible impact of external factors on group teaching.
