The Taubman Approach is the world’s leading method for playing various styles of music from classical to jazz to pop with brilliance, freedom, and ease. Initially intended specifically for pianists, the Taubman Techniques video series is widely recognized as the leading self study resource for learning this approach. Countless pianists, cellists, violinists, woodwind players, percussionists, and other musicians around the world have witnessed dramatic improvements to their playing ability thanks to the technical savoir-faire, musical insights, and knowledge taught in these videos.
