Taubman Devotee

The link below is to a video of a charming young woman who teaches piano in Alabama. The narrative over the video is annoying, but her technique is pretty representative of the Taubman practitioners I have met. Comments? ocd

If the story is true, and I don't doubt that it is, it is a very impressive accomplishment to play with that much freedom and sound - and also an impressive accomplishment to teach someone that well. There are still things I would work on to improve her sound and expression - she still overmoves a little bit, and to some extent she tends to use arm and hand movements to substitute for the needed finger action instead of simply supporting the needed finger action. And the goal of this performance seems to be to demonstrate coordinate motion rather than communicate the incredible passion and pathos of this great work. All in all, many good things and still a few bugs in the system... AFF
