Approach[]

The Taubman Approach is a comprehensive body of knowledge developed to train musicians in alignment and coordinate motion, which gives them the skills to play effortlessly and with a full range of artistic expression. It is a thorough and ongoing analysis of the mostly invisible motions that function underneath a virtuoso technique, including tone production and other components of expressive playing.[5] Study of the approach has made it possible for pianists to overcome technical limitations as well as cure playing-related injuries.

History[]

Edna Golandsky co-founded the Taubman Institute in 1976 with Dorothy Taubman and served as Artistic Director. Later, in 2003, Ms. Golandsky founded the Golandsky Institute to carry forward the Taubman Approach.[6]
