Dorothy Taubman spent more than fifty years of study and research in the field of piano pedagogy. Her ideas on interpretation were as penetrating as her approach to technique. Her master classes stressed how to blend each composer's intent and style with the performer's capabilities and individuality. She had an International reputation for revolutionary concepts and principles on the art of playing the piano.  The New York Times described her as a "doyenne of the master class who understands a lot about how people play the piano."  She directed the Dorothy Taubman Institute on Piano at Amherst College from 1972 to 2002.
