the study of pedagogical creativity of outstanding representatives of the Russian, and, in particular, the St. Petersburg Leningrad) piano school has great creative potential and can contribute to a significant improvement in the musical and educational process of Chinese piano students. The article shows the importance of studying the pedagogical creativity of specific piano teachers – prominent professors of the Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory, in particular, Moissey (Moses) Yakovlevich Halfin. He embodied the best features of his teachers and mentors (L.V. Nikolaev, S.I. Savshinsky) and created his own pedagogical system. The author identifies some of the main features of Halfin's school based on the memoirs of his students: S.M. Maltsev, T.A. Voronina, D.V. Shchirin and others. When studying the works of renowned Chinese researchers, insufficient attention was paid to "personalities" – specific piano teachers who made a significant contribution to the development of Russian music pedagogy. The ways of development of this area are defined, the importance of research for modern Russian and Chinese piano pedagogy is formulated, ways of further research and ways of implementation are outlined. The research materials were discussed at meetings of the Music pedagogy section of the St. Petersburg branch of the EPTA Association of Piano Teachers, as well as at national and international conferences. The relevance and importance of the conducted research for modern music pedagogy is assessed.
