Dorothy Taubman Founder and Music Director, The Dorothy Taubman Institute of Piano
Dorothy Taubman has spent more than forty-five years of study and research in the field of piano pedagogy. Dorothy Taubman’s ideas on interpretation are as penetrating as her approach to technique. Her master classes stress one of her major pedagogical goals – teaching how to read the composer’s blueprint (the score) and how to blend each composer’s intent and style with the performer’s capabilities and individuality. Mrs. Taubman proceeds on the premise that every intelligent pianist can be trained to be interpretively self-reliant. A celebrated innovator, with an international reputation for her revolutionary concepts and principles on the art of playing the piano, Dorothy Taubman has been praised in numerous prestigious publications for her work. In one of several articles in the New York Times, she was described as a “doyenne of the master class who understands a lot about how people play the piano.” She has delivered papers at many conferences on Music Medicine and has given lectures and master classes at many colleges, universities, conservatories, conventions and festivals throughout the United States and abroad. These include Oberlin College, New England Conservatory, Tanglewood, Lincoln Center, The Gina Bachauer Piano Festival and the Rubin Academy and Jerusalem Music Center in Israel. She was professor at the Aaron Copland School of Music of Queens College. She has been featured in numerous articles and interviewed in the Boston Globe, Piano and Keyboard and Clavier magazines. She presently teaches and auditions aspiring young artists and professional performers in her Brooklyn, New York studio. |
