THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON - Double DVD Set
+ supporting Booklet and Study Guide
 In this 5-hour double DVD-Set, Mary Gae George invites you into her home and studio to observe lessons given to 11 of her students from the elementary to the upper intermediate level.
Using her Power of Positive Pedagogy aligned with spiral learning, Mary Gae demonstrates the advantages of putting the most time and attention on a new issue or piece of music at the lesson when it is assigned. The time saved at subsequent lessons by not having to correct mistakes, repeat instructions, or coach the student on interpreting the music will soon present a whole new balanced lesson plan for you (and your students) to enjoy using.
The topics of this DVD set, demonstrated at various levels of advancement, are:
1. Achieving Artistic Performance
2. Developing Rhythmic Security and Sensitivity
3. Building Secure Memory based on Analysis and Pattern Recognition
Everything from learning a new rhythm to memorizing and interpreting a 20th century Toccatina fill this pedagogy DVD with encouragement and reinforcement on how to make things work positively and to the advantage of both the student and the teacher. Both new and experienced teachers are invited to take advantage of this opportunity that the DVD format makes possible -- sitting in on demonstration lessons in the privacy and comfort of your own home!
MARY GAE GEORGE and her late husband, JON GEORGE, are the authors of Artistry at the Piano the comprehensive piano course that addresses and fulfills the promise that music study holds for students of all ages.

"This indispensable teaching resource explores the importance of systematic and thorough preparation of students at all levels when they are presented with a new piece of music. The principles Ms George demonstrates in this DVD can be applied in any studio with any course of study. By using Mary Gae's preparation techniques, my students' comprehension, interpretation skills and ability to play musically and accurately have improved exponentially. Run, don't walk to purchase this DVD!”

“I welcome this pedagogical video as it deals with one of the most important (and unfortunately, often neglected) aspects in our teaching: the presentation of a new piece of piano music or a new concept to the student. The varied approaches presented here help to ensure accuracy, rhythmic vitality & musical understanding. This establishes musical playing right from the start. A solid introduction to a new piece sets the student up for success and confidence which increases their love of learning.”
~

“This is another winner! Without ever saying it, Mary Gae shows--just by modeling--the love she has for each student and the love of the music she has to share with them. By that unconditional love, Mary Gae brings out the best in each student -- she just expects it--without limitations. This is true education.”
~

“The students remain engaged, challenged and inspired in the whole process. I also noted the practical integration of the Alexander Technique into the piano instruction.”
