Since 2014, our events, workshops and master classes have been hugely successful within the piano community across the province, and have welcomed participants from all over Canada.

WORKSHOP AND MASTER CLASS
Organized by Mariko Sato, the workshop was held at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal. Programme: Introduction to the Taubman Approach – Searching for and finding the fingerings that lead to freer expression, a lecture by Mariko Sato. Understanding the Musical Score – How to physically interpret the composer’s blueprint for sound with ease and freedom, a lecture and master class by Mary Moran. Using in and out movements in the pursuit of ease and freedom, a lecture by Audrey Marshall.
I truly appreciated the clarity of both Mariko Sato and Mary Moran, whose remarks were captivating as always. Ms. Moran’s skill in welcoming and guiding students is truly remarkable.
– M. L., pianist and pedagogue (Montréal)
My sincere thanks for inviting me to include my students in the master class. It was wonderful, and I received very positive feedback from my students, both those who played and those who only audited. They got a great deal of concrete information, some clear principles they are beginning to apply, and it is so inspiring that it’s already making a difference in their playing.
– A. G.-C., pianist (Montréal)
The lecture and the master class gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of the Taubman technique and to learn how it applies to pianists and teachers as well as to children (for whom learning to play piano without pain or tension is an invaluable asset).
– D. L. (Toronto)
Mary Moran has a deep understanding […] that enables her to arrive at the root causes of technical difficulties and ultimately arrive at solutions for both students and professional pianists.
– M. B. (Saskatoon)
The master class and lectures were particularly well organized. There was a good flow to the different activities, with just the right amount of time allocated to each part. Mary was insightful, interesting, and helped the students to solve their problems quickly and effortlessly. I’d highly recommend this workshop to any performer and/or teacher looking to expand their knowledge and proficiency.
