Piano Lesson With Bob Durso - The Taubman Guy

I had a piano lesson with Bob Durso last Friday. Have been working on Novelette in C Major by Poulenc. It's a lovely piece of music. And my smallish hand is unable to get through the piece without inappropriate alignment of hand, wrist and forearm.

Hence - pain! And a bangy, choppy performance.

In twenty minutes he corrected the problem utilizing the Taubman Method. No pain, proper alignment, beauty of sound.

Voila!
