A piano teacher’s success (defined in terms of reputation, financial security, personal enjoyment or however else you define it) is highly dependent on the combined effort and success of all of her students. The students’ success is built upon the piano that they practice on 5 days a week.\u00a0 But no matter how much they study, how long they practice, how far they push themselves or how advanced they become, the condition<\/span> and\u00a0capacity<\/span> of their piano, as well as the climate<\/span> surrounding it will either enhance their music-making competence<\/span> or tragically undermine it (the “4 C’s” of beautiful music). <\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
I have worked with piano teachers from Julliard, Eastman, Paris, Moscow and other places and have found that the piano pedagogy and performance curriculums teach very little about the piano itself. Is is my experience that most piano teachers and professors, thru no fault of their own, are\u00a0unaware of how much prettier the tone can be, more expression they can achieve, greater control they can have and more enjoyable their piano can be.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Educating the Educator<\/strong><\/div>\n
In order to remedy this blind spot in the pedagogy curriculum, I established the t\u00b3 Piano Institute<\/span>.\u00a0 This is the only resource I am aware of that a piano instructor can\u00a0gain an appropriate, yet comprehensive\u00a0understanding of how the piano affects the pianist.\u00a0 By simply attending\u00a0the 3 seminars\u00a0in the Octave Worth of Piano Knowledge<\/a> series you will . . .\u00a0<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fill in the gaps<\/strong> that the pedagogy curriculum left\u00a0in your education<\/li>\n
  2. Be better equipped<\/strong> to recognize if your technician is doing a good job<\/li>\n
  3. Acquire the knowledge<\/strong> your customers expect you already have about the piano<\/li>\n
  4. Gain an academic understanding<\/strong> of how a piano helps or hinders a pianist<\/li>\n
  5. Possess an experiential comprehension<\/strong> of a piano\u2019s true potential<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0Or, if you want to attend a brief, 1hour\u00a0introduction to the concepts that will be covered in the seminar series, check out Discovering Pedagogy’s Blindspot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    My goal is that piano teachers and professors, equipped with this knowledge,\u00a0can work together\u00a0with high-quality technicians for the benefit of their mutual customers.\u00a0 These students will be able to\u00a0enjoy a better sounding piano, may advance quicker, stick with lessons longer and most likely perform better at recitals.\u00a0 This, in the long run, is a win-win scenario for everyone involved: the parents paying for lessons, the children learning the piano and receiving the many benefits of this discipline, the piano teacher\u2019s effectiveness, personal enjoyment and reputation, and their piano technician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
