"Edna's Book is fantastic. Many of the string players I teach bought it, loved it and found it fascinating. It is such an amazing thing to have. Edna has unquestionably had the most profound influence of any single person on every aspect of my musical career.

I took in-person, weekly lessons with Edna for 13 years, a violinist learning from a pianist. Her ability to share and teach the Taubman knowledge with someone on a different instrument not only taught me the information, but so much more. I observed her unlimited patience as she explored solutions with me, helping me to find new depths as we applied these principles to my playing. She taught me how to think creatively and imaginatively with this spectacular body of knowledge both for myself and teaching others, beyond the limitations of instruments and styles. Right from the start she encouraged me to share what we were doing with other string players and guided my early attempts to do so with enthusiasm while also demanding an exacting clarity of thought and communication.

This training formed the foundation for my work today. Beyond my lessons, I was also fortunate to observe the Institute, her team and their passion for developing and sharing this work. My time with Edna inspired and encouraged me to create the work we now do for string players. She has unquestionably had the most profound influence of any single person on every aspect of my musical career."

"This is more than an invaluable reference for pianists learning or interested in the Taubman Approach – it’s actually a must-read for everyone who plays the piano, at any level.

The book explains all the core concepts of the Taubman Approach with simple and clear descriptions and includes video examples showing their application in a wide variety of passages from the classical repertoire."
