The fundamental principle of the Taubman Approach is to use the body with the correct motions to allow trained pianists to play with ease, be free of injury, and ultimately realize their full potential of artistic expression unhampered by technical limitations. The Taubman Approach offers specific solutions to technical problems and difficulties.
This approach was pioneered by Dorothy Taubman, who made an extensive study of the movements that make up a virtuoso technique. The brilliance of the Taubman Approach is that it was the first time that the small movements and coordinations, often imperceptible, were discovered.
The Taubman Approach is the basis of my teaching. It is incorporated from the beginning of lessons as part of technique, along with the other fundamentals. It is an essential step in achieving the goals of piano study, playing with freedom and to fully express one's self.
