Found this while trying to start my piano learning journey. Thank god i found this before i basically started. Also, this is such an amazing example of a teacher, everyone should watch this documentary. Rip Dorothy.
Would have like to see less praising of the woman and more teaching. Apparently everybody's problems were solved in 2 minutes, and I am yet to see those 2 minutes.
jaspernatchez if you ever went to school for music, even piano performance, you would understand. Often, it gives the student a visual as to how the teacher wants the student to play a phrase. Conducting and singing is also mandatory for ALL music majors... Old habits never die in music.
It's very helpful in making the student understand the spirit of the music and it also loosens them up because it's hard to be nervous or embarrassed when you're next to someone who's waving their arms around and singing.

i was just thinking the same thing
Look up the Edna Golandsky videos where she discusses various aspects of the Taubman approach, such as playing scales, thumbwork, arpeggios, etc.
i have, and you know, now it makes perfect sense! golandsky's videos are much more on point
I don't understand "teachers" who swing their arms to conduct and sing along with the player. What is that supposed to accomplish?
