Advanced Piano/Teaching Artistry
Advanced Pianism Is More Than Winning Competitions

This track will focus on a number of topics, including teaching the whole musician, how one’s sound expresses that and how the piano can become an orchestra. We will also examine the nature of music in higher education, how our awareness of things beyond music influences us, and how the music we choose to play touches others.
