This is Episode #67 in which you are privileged to learn from Brenna Berman. Already an avid performer at the age of seven, Brenna’s promising career as a pianist was almost shut down by the pain and injuries she sustained from playing the piano.
In fact, one of her college professors suggested Brenna find another career path.
In our conversation, you learn how Brenna overcame her injuries and why she is now a leading expert in the Taubman approach.
Weaved through the interview, Brenna touches on topics like enhancing our intuition, transcending the traditions of playing from a score, the six main things that cause injuries in pianists, and the foundational technique tools we can implement in our lessons even with our beginning students.
Head to the show notes so that you can learn more about Brenna's upcoming workshop.
