has anyone ever heard of this? Has anyone ever studied with a taubman teacher?
Has anyone gotten rid of injuries with this?
i once studied with a taubman teacher. it may have been the particular one i was working with, but it made me overthink technique so much that i couldn't do anything anymore...after i quit the studio, i was able to play like my old self.
maybe it's different for those who have been injured. but all of the students in this studio played like any other students anywhere else. the studio didn't seem too much different (pianistically speaking) than any other studio i'd ever been in...though they somehow thought that their sh*t smelled better than the rest of the world's.
i'd say, there are some intersting concepts to be learned, but with too much thinking about the minute workings, it can lessen the natural feeling of your technique. also beware that the taubman studios can often be cultish (not just from my own experience).
in the end, the most valuable thing i ever learned from that teacher was that a man can wear anything, but if he has good shoes he will always look good.
