THE PIANO: BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THROUGH EFFICIENT MOVEMENT
Lydia Frumkin, Professor Emeritus Oberlin Conservatory
This enjoyable and informative 1 � hour workshop is designed for pianophiles, piano students, piano teachers, amateur pianists, and curious music-lovers.
Drawing upon her successful 37 year career as a piano teacher, Oberlin Conservatory Professor Emeritus, Lydia Frumkin will demonstrate an approach to the keyboard developed by Anna A. Schmidt-Schklovskaya - a student of renowned pianist, composer and teacher Felix Blumenfeld.
Blumenfeld (1863 - 1931) studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and piano with Fedor Stein. He taught on that faculty, while also serving as conductor of the famed Mariinsky Theatre. In Kiev, Vladimir Horowitz was his master class pupil, and he taught at the Moscow Conservatory from 1922 until his death.
This method deals with correcting physical problems that arise from inefficient movements pianists often use at the keyboard. Such movements lead to lack of control, discomfort and even physical pain during playing, and can cause more long-term problems such as tendonitis. This workshop will demonstrate ways to develop a more "natural" approach to the keyboard, that will prevent physical (occupational) ailments. This approach helps to develop pianistic skills that free the body, so the pianist is free to explore & express the music.
$15 general admission
