About this Event
About Dorothy Taubman (1917-2013)
"The body is capable of fulfilling all pianistic demands without a violation of its nature if the most efficient ways are used; pain, insecurity, lack of technical control are symptoms of in-coordination rather than the lack of practice, intelligence or talent."— Dorothy Taubman
This is a two day event that will take place from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.

Testimonials
Beth Levin, American Classical Pianist:
"My time as a student of Dorothy Taubman taught me concepts of the piano, artistry, technique and life. Dorothy was a brilliant human being- larger-than-life- who gave us all of her knowledge with grace, humanity and humor. I work everyday with the ideas she shared and I am eternally grateful."
Fr. Paul Maillet
"Mrs. Taubman changed my life! I am able to continue to play piano concerts in addition to my full life as a priest and professor only because I was blessed to learn her approach in my decade plus of working with her. I thank God for her amazing work and legacy every day. "
