I just returned from a very stimulating and informative MTNA Conference in Atlanta GA.Pedagogy Saturday highlighted the Adult student and offered a variety ofsuggestions from Group teaching to private lessons with the emphasis onhelping these students reach their goals through a variety of approaches.
There were many sessions on Technology and the ways that we can expand our studioand motivate and excite students with today's technology.
There were session for everyone on a variety of topics addressing all levelsof students and guidance for the professional.
Our own Phyllis Lehrer together with Paul Sheftel presented an exciting overview oftheir piano books that have been so popular.
Ingrid Clarfield presented an outstanding and entertaining lecture recital on"Preparing Students For Auditions and Competition:Turning Fear into Fun" Both sessions were delivered to a full house of enthusiastic teachers.
