"... your lecture on the Taubman method ... was extremely lucid and well-prepared. My student who worked with you... was highly enthusiastic about the help you provided, and I was impressed with how much you accomplished in the master class in such a relatively brief amount of time. Many of my students are still energetically talking about your lecture ..." Douglas Weeks Professor of Piano Converse College, South Carolina "I firmly believe that the audience and our students will be grateful to you for introducing them to the Taubman Technique, which will ease their creative performance now and in the future." Nuri Iyicil, Director Mimar Sinan University State Conservatory, Istanbul "Our students had the rare opportunity to have many of their questions on piano technique answered by an authority. Thank you for this seminar, which will have an important place in our students' educational experience and their performance." Elif Enacar, Coordinator of Cultural and Artistic Affairs Bilkent University, Ankara "At our November meeting, we were honored by having one of our own members, Teresa Dybvig, give a presentation on Women Composers... What a wonderful speaker and performer. We were all entranced!" Tami Levy, President Suffolk Piano Teachers Forum Newsletter, Vol. II, no. 2 "The lecture was very well attended by our own members and non members also. Those present agreed that it was well worth bringing Ms Dybvig here and we all learned a great deal that we could apply to teaching our students and relating to them personally." Minutes, Fond du Lac Keyboard Association "Special thanks to Dr. Teresa Dybvig for her informative presentation on 'Learning Styles in Teaching Piano.' Her presentation was both enlightening and very well researched." Helen Ferrara Suffolk Piano Teachers Forum Newsletter, Vol. III, no. 2 "Thanks to Teresa Dybvig for a wonderful meeting!

"Teresa Dybvig
is the 'teacher's teacher!' Based on her extensive research and experience, she
presents workshops that are invaluable to the piano teacher and performer. She
is charged with energy, and has great compassion. She connects with all the
members of her workshops, presenting her subjects with great clarity, interest
and a sense of humor. SPTF is fortunate to have her as a member." Tami Levy, President Suffolk Piano Teachers Forum The Balanced PianistThe Balanced Pianist is a set of intensive programs for small groups of pianists, high school age and above, amateur and professional. In The Balanced Pianist programs, pianists improve their practice, performance, and teaching skills while growing to enjoy all these activities more. Participants work on improving their technique, mental attitudes for practice and performance, teacher-student communication, and enjoy some type of scheduled movement during each day. Our main resources are Dorothy Taubman's Approach to Piano Technique, Performance Success by Don Greene, Ph.D, the Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles systems, and yoga, Alexander work or other scheduled exercise. We remove tension, fear, and frustration from our bodies, from our practice and performance, and from our teaching, and what remains is all positive!

Learning StylesTeresa Dybvig is involved in an ongoing study, with learning styles expert Sarah Church, on applying the Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles system to teaching piano. She would be happy to speak with your group about how she has learned to spot a student's learning style, and how she has learned to work with different people's learning styles -- especially those students who learn differently from oneself. Teresa Dybvig has spoken to the Fond du Lac Teachers Association and the Suffolk Piano Teachers Forum about Teaching the Student, not the Material: Applying Learning Styles to Teaching Piano. She has also presented it in the context of The Balanced Pianist programs in Long Island, Chicago, and Denver in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
