Some good thoughts on teaching and some excellent things for educators and lovers of music to hear. Currently out-of-print and unavailable on DVD, I thought I'd make it available for those interested in gaining some insight into music pedagogy and the professional environment.

You must be aware that the expression “avoid thumb under” does not mean that the thumb should be still or stiff and never cross the other fingers.

It means that, when playing scales or runs, the thumb should gradually approach its next position and the point is that you MUST NOT PLAY LEGATO between the thumb and 3rd or 4th fingers.

Instead, your hand should make a very little and inaudible jump when changing the horizontal position on the keyboard.

This amazing lecture series (The unanswered Question), is actually an interdisciplinary overview about the evolution of Western European classical music from Bach through the 20th century crisis and beyond a bit.

Mr. Bernstein uses linguistics namely Chomskian Linguistics to provide a framework to illustrate how music and all the arts evolved toward greater and greater levels of ambiguity / expressivity over history until the 20th century crisis.

This amazing lecture series (The unanswered Question), is actually an interdisciplinary overview about the evolution of Western European classical music from Bach through the 20th century crisis and beyond a bit.

Mr. Bernstein uses linguistics namely Chomskian Linguistics to provide a framework to illustrate how music and all the arts evolved toward greater and greater levels of ambiguity / expressivity over history until the 20th century crisis.

He manages this impressive feat of popular education, by dividing music into; Phonology (the study of sound); Syntax (the study of structure) and; Semantics (the study of meaning).

In recent years, people have devised methods to take care of the body to ensure that it stays in top form. Just as professional athletes watch their diets and have enough sleep so that they are in tip-top condition during training and on the track, pianists have their unique ways with which they take care of their bodies to ensure they are on top of their game.

One such approach is known as Piano-Yoga, a relatively recent technique developed by virtuoso pianist Génia.

The performance was accompanied by a forum, where Foo and the composers illuminated on their work and artistic approach. Foo also shared her wisdom with our students in a chamber masterclass that proved to be both educational and enlightening.
