Dorothy
Taubman
Founder and Music
Director
Dorothy Taubman has
spent more than forty-five years of study and research in the field of
piano pedagogy. Dorothy Taubman's ideas on interpretation are as penetrating
as her approach to technique. Her master classes stress one of her major
pedagogical goals ö teaching how to read the composer's blueprint
(the score) and how to blend each composer's intent and style with the
performer's capabilities and individuality. Mrs. Taubman proceeds on the
premise that every intelligent pianist can be trained to be interpretively
self-reliant.
A celebrated innovator,
with an international reputation for her revolutionary concepts and principles
on the art of playing the piano, Dorothy Taubman has been praised in numerous
prestigious publications for her work. In one of several articles in the
New York Times, she was described as a ``doyenne of the master class who
understands a lot about how people play the piano." She has delivered papers
at many conferences on Music Medicine and has given lectures and master
classes at many colleges, universities, conservatories, conventions and
festivals throughout the United States and abroad. These include Oberlin
College, New England Conservatory, Tanglewood, Lincoln Center, The Gina
Bachauer Piano Festival and The Rubin Academy and Jerusalem Music Center
in Israel. She was professor at the Aaron Copland School of Music of Queens
College and has been a long-time presenter on the Master Series at the
92nd Street. YMHA in New York City. Mrs. Taubman presently teaches aspiring
young artists and professional performers in her Brooklyn, New York studio. |
