About The Symposium
The Third USF-PAMA-The Music Gallery Piano Pedagogy Symposium is focused on the awareness of the body, touch and tone, coordinated techniques, mind-body connection, and longevity in learning, teaching, and playing the piano. The Symposium presents masterclasses, chamber music coaching, jazz piano, flow in music making, and musician-tailored yoga.
The Symposium is open to college piano faculty, college pianists, private piano teachers, and advanced pre-college piano students.
Objectives
Participants will learn:
- Teaching-learning the basic piano technique to produce even tone and variation of touch control
- Teaching-learning finger-hand-arm-shoulder coordination to develop injury-free technique
- Teaching-learning different styles of piano playing using the principles of touch and tone
- Incorporating yoga practice to develop body-mind coordination in piano playing
- Healthy and productive playing strategy for longevity

Comments from past Piano Pedagogy Symposiums
"Faculty Concert was one of the most exciting and worthwhile events we have heard in a long time. It had wonderful variety, superb artistic performance and dedication to the highest standard of musicianship. Our heartfelt thanks go to you and your colleagues."
"Just want to say I really enjoyed the concert. That night I slept very well with deep dreams."
"I enjoyed the Piano Pedagogy Symposium very much! Thank you so much for all of the work and care put into the conference and for making me aware of it. The information was very useful and thought provoking."
"I had an opportunity to speak with many who attended and they thought that it was very beneficial. I want to thank you again for inviting us and for setting up a practice room for Noah. He enjoyed the symposium and gained some valuable information that he is applying to his piano playing."
"Congratulations on the excellent and beautifully run symposium. Everything I saw was extremely useful and stimulating, and not just for pianists. There are so many issues covered last weekend that also connect to other areas of music, physical and mental, that it really got me thinking."
"The Symposium Faculty members, guests, students, sponsors and support team did areally great job! The first Piano Pedagogy Symposium went to sell, so many enthusiastic and seeking people gathered together sharing ideas, inspiring each other and making music. I was happy to be a part of this Celebration and do hope this kind of Symposium will develop into an annual big nation-wide event. Thank you for inviting me, I've spent two rich days, every person involved into a process was like an element of a big beautiful and colorful painting."
"I just wanted to tell you how much attending this event has improved my piano playing. It's only been two days since then, but I am already playing the Bach prelude 10 times better. What I discovered is that I have to relearn how to play the piano. This is really exciting for me. Thank you so much."
