What Does Cooking an Italian Meat Sauce Have in Common with Teaching Effective Practice Strategies?

Presented October 8, 2024
Presented by Helen Marlais
The FJH Company, Inc.

Ever wonder what making a full-bodied Bolognese has in common with teaching effective practice strategies? One starts with a list of ingredients. Then, understanding the order of ingredients cooked in a pot is imperative to the success of the finished meat sauce. Likewise, using an ingredient list of the four different stages of learning a piece, and learning how to apply the most effective piano practicing strategies for each stage of learning helps us guide our students to pianistic success. Dr. Helen Marlais from The FJH Music Company will demonstrate essential piano practice strategies and when to use them in the learning process. She will play works from the artistic series, the Succeeding at the Piano method, and the FJH Pianist’s Curriculum.
