Para atender às questões propostas, realizou-se um estudo em conservatórios da cidade de São Paulo, por meio de entrevistas e questionários aplicados a professoras de piano e diretores, entre os anos de 2003 e 2004. Esse estudo englobou o material didático utilizado, a organização das aulas, a formação docente e a estrutura oferecida pelos conservatórios. Além disso, investigou-se a história do ensino do piano no Brasil, desde o século XIX, e os métodos e recursos utilizados pela pedagogia pianística a partir da década de 1930. A partir desse estudo, apresenta-se o resultado das reflexões da pesquisadora a respeito da pedagogia pianística, tal como praticada hoje em conservatórios paulistanos, acentuando-se as questões relacionadas ao peso da tradição presente nesse ensino e à necessidade de se responder aos desafios da época atual.
