Piano Teacher's Class

The lectures take place in my studio or at other locations.  All are supplemented with generous handouts for your reference.

If you'd like to preview the Lecture on Curriculum Development: From Method books to Classical Repertoire that was presented at the Steinway Piano Gallery in Westport, CT please visit the Media page.

• Teaching the Adult Student  
• A holistic approach to technique: obtaining the best results with the most efficient motions  
• Teaching strategies for the younger beginner  
• The transfer student and remedial work  
• Planning a curriculum with a specific student in mind: accentuating attributes while subtly working on deficiencies  
• Introducing the classics sooner rather than later

 This is an observation of a lesson whereby I take note of the lesson, and perhaps suggest more effective teaching strategies. It can be a general analysis, or address a specific problem either musically or technically.

This could take two forms :

1. Collaborative lessons where we would both work with the student.
2. Strict observance of the lesson where I would simply take notes.

I share my observations with the teacher after the student has completed the lesson. This could take place in the teacher's studio, student's home, or my studio, whichever is most convenient. Cost is based on distance/travel.
