Congratulations, Fred, on receiving the 2011 Frances Clark Keyboard Pedagogy Award. I have no doubt that this happened because of your continuing devotion to enhancing the skills of your students and those who benefit from the 3-D Piano methods.
I recently sumitted an article to American Fitness magazine on the use of performance enhancement techniques for training athletes to get the “edge” in their respective sport. Thinking about 3-D Piano, I find lots of similarities between the two. The idea is to get more from athletes/musicians than they think they have inside them.
May you have continued success in your teaching and performing.
All best,
Kathy
Congratulations! I really enjoy your blog and hope you will continue to write more posts.
Congratulations on the Frances Clark Keyboard Pedagogy Award. No doubt it took a lot of work and dedication on your part to accomplish this. I am sure your students have gain much in the process as well. I am curious what is taught regarding the use of chords, especially for those who would just like to play around with them. Keep up the great work!
