Barbara Banacos will walk participants through key components needed for beautiful arpeggios.\n\nBarbara Banacos\n\n\n\n\nPedagogy Clinic: How to incorporate elements of the Taubman Approach into your teaching\nWith so much to teach to students\, it can be difficult to know how to incorporate elements of technique and what skills to prioritize. Barbara Banacos will share strategies on teaching the Taubman Approach with a focus on beginner and intermediate-level students. She will also work one-on-one with students of workshop attendees.\n\nBarbara Banacos\n\n\n\n\nGetting to Know the Taubman Approach\nThe Taubman Approach has positively influenced countless pianists worldwide. Join Elizabeth Grace as she discusses the foundational elements of this amazing problem-solving approach to piano playing. Through musical examples\, she will demonstrate accessible strategies to implement key principles and open the door to playing with freedom.\n\nBeth Grace\n\n\n\n\nOctaves without Obstacles\nPlaying octaves with ease is an essential skill for every pianist\, but unwanted and unnecessary obstacles can often arise. In this lecture\, Elizabeth Grace will discuss practical guidelines to playing octaves with freedom. She will also address the vital stepping stones to teaching octaves to students of all ages and levels. Join us and say goodbye to awkward octaves!\n\nBeth Grace\n\n\n\n\nOptimizing Taubman Learning and Practice – Part 1\nWorking memory and Procedural memory\nLearning to play the piano is very good for the brain because we use so many parts of the brain at different stages of learning the piano and at different stages of learning each piece. Gaining a better understanding of 2 main types of memory: working memory (holding things in mind with focus) and procedural memory (“muscle memory”) can help us know how and when to harness the strengths of each type\, from learning to play one note\, to performing on the Carnegie stage.\n\nBrenna Berman\n\n\n\n\nOptimizing Taubman Learning and Practice – Part 2\nThe master checklists for technical and musical solutions\nMany students struggle with efficient learning knowing what to do next\, especially in the middle stages of learning each piece. Technical checklists that are passage and context-specific can shorten the length of time between problems and their solutions. Brenna will cover checklists in contexts such as passagework\, octaves\, leaps\, alternating single notes and intervals\, among others.\n\nBrenna Berman\n\n\n\n\nAdvanced Choreography: Patterns\nWe all have a strong instinct to detect and recognize patterns. This can be beneficial in piano playing\, as music is full of patterns and repetition\, but often we have to use different techniques to play similar passages. Darren Wirth will show how the Taubman Approach can be used to analyze and solve these types of pattern passages and aid us in quicker learning and memorization.\n\nDarren Wirth\n\n\n\n\nMaster Class\n\n\nBrenna Berman and Beth Grace\n\n\n\n\nOpen Lessons and Free Participation\n\n\nBrenna Berman\, Barbara Banacos\, Beth Grace\n\n\n\n\nTaubman in the Jazz Setting\nRon will work with individuals in front of a class to solve pianistically jazz contexts using Taubman tools.\n\nRon Stabinsky\n\n\n\n\nSupport Group\nThis group will connect participants going through similar experiences and is geared towards attendees who are new to the Taubman Approach\, currently retraining their technique\, or are recovering from an injury. The session offers a safe place to get questions answered about the retraining method\, or simply express their feelings about the process in general.\n\nMichelle Mark\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nHOTEL / TRAVEL INFORMATION\n\n\n\n\nTo assist with your stay\, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express Longmont.
