The Taubman Approach is a system of combined and coordinated movements at the piano that, when properly applied, can result in a tension-free experience at the keyboard, leading to true virtuosity and freedom from the concerns of injury. In this free workshop, sponsored by the Ottawa chapter of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers Association (ORMTA), I will describe and demonstrate the principles of the Approach as well as discuss its pedagogy. This is a combined lecture, demonstration, and clinic: pianists are encouraged to come with examples of passages they are struggling with, or to talk about any physical constraints, pain, or any discomfort they may be feeling at the keyboard.
