The current study aimed at examining the effectiveness of a modeling strategy in improving the performance of some playing piano techniques among students of musical education. The study adopted the experimental design and included 30 musical education freshmen at the Faculry of Specific Education, Zagazig University. Participants were divided into two groups: a control group and an experimental one, with 30 students in each group. Whereas the experimental group were taught using the modeling strategy, the control group received regular instruction. Results indicated that: (1) there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control one in the post-performance observation card in favor of the experimental group’s results. (2) there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group’ pre- and post- performance observation cards in favor of the post-performance observation card’s results. (3) there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group’ pre- and traceable tests. Finally, recommendations were made in the light of the study’s results. Key words: modeling strategy, playing piano techniques, students of musical education.
