This paper aims to employ bibliometrics and visualization analysis to investigate the current development status and research hotspots in the field of piano education. The literature data is obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database, analyzing publication years, core journals, courtiers/regions distribution, keyword co-occurrence maps, and highly cited papers in this research area. The results indicate that the number of relevant publications began rapidly growing in 2015. The United States and China are identified as the core countries for publications; however, the level of international collaboration remains relatively low. Major research hotspots include the innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in piano education, online education, cross-cultural education, etc.
