May 15 Lecture at Yamaha Piano Salon, The Art of Practicing: From Concept to Sound, 1pm 689 Fifth Avenue, 3rd floor (enter on 54 street), New York City Practicing can be perceived as lonely and even tedious at times if one simply repeats the same passage over and over again in an identical manner. But if one practices concepts, then practicing becomes thinking. In this lecture-demonstration, we will discuss how to find the articulation, phrasing, tempo and technique required to best transform one's concepts into sound, and explore different philosophical attidutes towards music, practicing and performance.
