Aiming at the problem of low student enthusiasm in piano teaching, this work tried to apply “Pygmalion effect” to piano teaching from the perspective of educational psychology. Forty-five students were chosen from nine classes in grades 2, 4, and 6 of a central elementary school in Beijing City using experimental research, and the experimental group and the control group were set up. A questionnaire was adopted to conduct the pre-test and post-test of the experiment, which were done to analyze the factors that affect the attitude of students toward music learning and the effect of piano teaching. The results show that the encouragement level of the piano teacher and the enthusiasm of the students in the piano course were significantly correlated at the 0.01 level. There was also a significant correlation between self-efficacy and student piano learning enthusiasm at the 0.01 level. Furthermore, the pre-test and post-test results showed that the students in the experimental group of each grade generally performed much better in piano learning than the students in the control group, which proves that the “Pygmalion effect” can play an excellent interventional role in piano teaching. In this research, the value of “Pygmalion effect” in the educational psychology of piano music education in primary schools was deeply studied to explore the possibility of a novel piano teaching model. The research results show that teacher encouragement can stimulate the subjective initiative of students and make them perform better in piano learning. This research provides reference and ideas for the combination of education- and psychology-related research in the music classroom.

However, I felt that there was great need for educating primary school teachers on Prevention and Management of Laryngitis. Objectives: To find the effectiveness of Video Assisted Teaching Program (VATP) on Knowledge regarding Prevention and Management of Laryngitis among Primary School Teachers. Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study with purposive sampling technique to select the sample (N=60) with n=30 in experimental group and control group of primary school teachers respectively. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the Knowledge; VATP was administered only to experimental group to find its effectiveness in comparison with control group. The findings of the study revealed deficit in knowledge of primary school teachers before administration of VATP. Results: The mean percentage knowledge score of post-test (79.80 %) was higher than the pretest (39.30%). The calculated paired 't' value is greater than the table value (0.05, 29df) = 2.045. It showed a significant difference between mean pre and post- test knowledge scores among experimental group. The mean percentage of knowledge scores in post-test (79.80%) among experimental group was higher than the post-test (39.80%) among control group. The 2 calculated unpaired 't' value is greater than the table value (0.05,58df) = 1.96. Calculated ÷ values showed significant association between post-test knowledge scores of respondents with their selected demographic variables.
