She will address the common causes of tension\, fatigue and poor tone. Through musical examples\, she will demonstrate how to incorporate these movements into playing resulting in ease\, accuracy and success.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor anyone:\n\n\nShrink the Distance: Tricks for Making All Notes Feel Close\nBrenna Berman\nThe Taubman Approach not only teaches how to move in a coordinated\, effortless manner; it also teaches us to think outside the box\, experiment\, and strategize to make our music easier to play. Many of the Taubman tools shorten the perceived distance between notes. Some tools minimize the movements needed to achieve the distances\, and others are mental tricks that convince the brain that distances are smaller than they are. Ms. Berman will explore several of these tools in detail.\n\n\nFrom Day One: Intentional Hand Coordination for Faster\, Deeper Piano Learning\nYoriko Fieleke\nYoriko Fieleke will explore the importance of coordinating both hands from the very beginning of learning a piece. Drawing on the Taubman approach and its concept of the interdependence of the hands\, she will show how intentional practice from the outset can significantly enhance learning speed\, performance quality\, and memory retention.\n\n\nProblem-Solving Practice Strategies for\nTeachers and Performers\nElizabeth Grace\nPianists spend many hours at the piano practicing for accuracy and success. Elizabeth Grace will discuss how to diagnose problems and practice efficiently\, incorporating principles of the Taubman Approach. Using musical examples\, she’ll show how students can effectively narrow in on pianistic issues and discuss practice strategies that will ensure consistent success for teachers and performers alike!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor advanced Taubman trained Pianists:\n\n\nThe 3D Path- A Revolutionary New Strategy for Combining Movements\nBrenna Berman\nTaubman-trained pianists are accustomed to understanding movement in 3 dimensions using in and out\, shaping\, and walking hand and arm movements. Ms. Berman will show how we can combine those 3 dimensions into one unified path for ease of learning and performance. She will also show illustrations and props that help communicate these paths from person to person.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor teachers:\n\n\nTaubman Pedagogy for Younger Students and Adult Beginners\nYoriko Fieleke\nYoriko Fieleke will demonstrate helpful tools for teaching each element of the Taubman Approach to students in your studio for quick results. She will also share some games you can use to teach the basic Taubman movements to the younger students. Teachers who attend the workshop are welcome to sign up students to work one-on-one with Ms. Fieleke during this session.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClinics and Master Classes\n\n\nChances to work one-on-one with Master Teachers\nBrenna Berman\, Hugo Bermudez\, Yoriko Fieleke\, Elizabeth Grace\, Ron Stabinsky. No need to have fully performance-ready works. All participants are encouraged to bring any question they would like to be addressed at these sessions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances\n\n\nWelcome Concert! Works by Ponce\, Rachmaninov\, Stravinsky\, Stabinsky\, and Kapustin with pianists Hugo Bermudez\, Ron Stabinsky\, and Brenna Berman.

We will examine these basic motions and look at some examples of each.\n\n\nThe Mysteriously Stubborn Wrong Note\nDebunking Bogus Practice Methods and Learning What Really Works With the Taubman ApproachBrenna Berman\nHave you tried every practice method\, and it still doesn’t work? Brenna Berman demonstrates how The Taubman Approach\, the cognitive science of learning\, and psychological safety combine to illuminate what works\, what doesn’t\, and why.\n\n\nGrouping in the Taubman Approach \nRobert Durso\nRobert Durso presents an in‑depth look at Grouping\, a foundational Taubman principle that simplifies technical challenges by organizing notes into coordinated\, efficient movements. Through demonstration and analysis\, he shows how grouping enhances ease\, accuracy\, and musical coherence.
