"Moving Beyond the American Piano Method: Ideas for Diversifying Your Student's Repertoire"
(via Zoom)
In this presentation, Meg Gray will speak about and demonstrate materials that teachers can use alongside a standard piano method. She will show how this can be done from the beginning of students' piano lessons and through the intermediate to advanced levels, and she discuss the advantages of doing so. Teachers will take away new ideas and an introduction to some music, materials, and composers which may have been unfamiliar to them.
