3d piano method

Wasting money is bad, and wasting time and energy is worse. I have watched the Taubman and Petrof demos. They are badly made, I dont like their style of presentation, and I have not seen any hint of anything useful when you already have the Russian School and Alans teachings. I just bought a book, at a very modest price; The Russian Piano School, translated & edited by Christopher Barnes, with a collection of articles by pianists and Moscow Conservatoire professors. Lots of very good stuff there. Next book will be Honing the Pianistic Self Image. Then I think I should have everything I need, unless someone should come up with more Russian School books.

To each his (or her) own casaet. I have diligently studied the Taubman DVDs, gone to the Golandsky Institute, have had friends that swear by them, and even further: the teacher I studied with (Catherine Kautsky) for the past 3 years advocates their work. I don't subscribe to their dogma, but like any "religion", they do at least good in the world, and Taubmanism has a done a LOT of good for me.

When you say the videos are badly made, I wonder if you are reacting to the fact that they are over 20 years old at this point. They haven't updated them. These DVDs used to be cassettes!

I watched the publicity materials of 3-D and a colleague of mine actually bought them for her University library - but I am not at liberty to comment on them... AFF
