TEACHING THE ELEMENTARY PIANIST Double DVD-Set + Booklet
DVD and Booklet Companion to Artistry at the Piano Level 1
 An important revitalizing change occurs when we think of teaching resourceful elementary pianists rather than passive elementary students. Developing resourceful student-pianists is a primary goal of the INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC, the first book in the ARTISTRY AT THE PIANO curriculum. This book is featured in our first pedagogy DVD: "Teaching MUSIC ... not Notes! This second DVD film follows five students, ages 9 to adult, as they address and cross over the threshold to learning deeply, interpreting creatively, and performing confidently.
Mary Gae George is co-author, with her late husband Jon George, of Artistry at the Piano. She invites you into her home and studio to observe the interaction in her lessons and classes between the subject, her students, and her teaching. You will discover that her teaching, based on the Power of Positive Pedagogy and the principle of spiral learning, is supported by thinking-centered activities that show students the power of their own minds and acquaint them with the exciting syntax of the musical language.
The principles behind the private lessons and the group class shown in this 3-1/2 hour film (and supported by its enclosed booklet) can be applied to any course of study or level of advancement - including transfer students. It is these principles of positive learning that make music study valuable and rewarding for the student.

Early Reviews of "TEACHING THE ELEMENTARY PIANIST"
|
"I'm excited to see living proof that we can and should expect genuine musical excellence from young students!"
... Kevin Coan

"By not talking down to her students, Mary Gae encourages them to be articulate and yet natural in their responses to her. This sets a high standard, but not an impossible one, for teachers who wish to create lessons which encourage focused thinking, mastery, and responsiveness in their students."
... Louise Kienast |
“The booklet that comes with the DVD is a delightful surprise for it is much more informative and interesting than I expected. For instance the description of the students’ background, challenges, and strengths gives me more insight with which to view their performances; this makes their performances on the DVD much more meaningful and instructive to me.”
