This is What We're Going For…

Abby Whiteside’s pedagogical principles are best.

“…Just remember that MUSIC itself is spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical. Music is vastly more multi-dimensional than WE usually ALLOW ourselves to be. That is why when we get INTO music, it is so gratifying on ALL levels. What you are doing is eliminating unrelated physical activity and distilling it to how the body really functions and how it relates in it’s dance with the piano. It may feel like “nothing is happening” but it is just a more focused physicality. Keep paying attention to how the music MOVES and it should guide you.”
