• Healthy technic: Unique to the series, students will discover a healthy, coordinate piano technic and the secrets of effortless, tension-free playing. From note reading and keyboard theory, to listening and theoretical concepts, the development of an ergonomically correct and subsequently amazing piano technic dictate the progression of all the materials throughout the series.  Outdated practices from the 18th and 19th centuries, (which are unfortunately still taught in the 21st century, despite developments in the field of ergonomic motion and injury prevention) are avoided. Instead, the components of an effortless virtuosity at the piano are systematically introduced throughout the course with step-by-step instructions. When these principles of coordinate motion are applied under the supervision of an expert teacher who is trained extensively in the Taubman Approach, students will master the skills necessary for a lifetime of playing the piano with ease, brilliance, and confidence.
