Learn the respected Taubman Approach for efficient piano technique. Discover methods that will finally set your physicality, musical sense, and artistic impulse free.
You dream of sitting down at the piano and making sublime music. But playing with the finesse and grace of concert pianists you admire can seem like a far-off fantasy. Can you really develop virtuosic skill, feel “free” at the keyboard, and put your feelings into every note, all at the same time?
Yes, you can. In this in-depth course led by Taubman Approach expert Robert Durso, you’ll benefit from the legacy of Dorothy Taubman, a visionary who spent a lifetime deconstructing the biomechanics of piano technique. By the end, you’ll fine-tune your physical approach, unchain your expression — and revolutionize your playing.
Robert Durso is a distinguished pianist and educator, renowned for his expertise in the revolutionary piano technique founded by Dorothy Taubman.

Outside of teaching, Durso’s performance career is marked by appearances in prestigious venues worldwide and collaborations with celebrated orchestras, showcasing his mastery on the global stage.
