The purpose of this course is to teach the student the basic and even intermediate concepts of piano interpretation, starting with warm-ups, techniques, and methodologies. Since this is an individually tailored program, the repertoire has a bit more flexibility, and the student can choose which genre they want to focus on in the end.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
