For Jazz Musicians

“I find more and more that the only way a performing musician can cope with this level of stress is to have a solid technique background that he/she can depend on consistently.”

-Gilson Schachnik

Associate Professor, Berklee College of Music

“The even tone that results when the forearm, hand, and fingers are connected allows for accents and idiomatic jazz articulations but frees me from the strong finger vs. weak finger problem...The physical freedom offered by the Taubman approach is the perfect companion to the creative freedom pursued by improvising jazz pianists.”

-Don Glanden

Chairman of the Piano Department, University of the Arts

“The movements are designed to put you in the optimum position for every note...you have more control over the sound of every note.”

—Tom Lawton

Temple University

Edna Golandsky with Bill Charlap

“The Golandsky Institute is an important pedagogical institution not just for the thoroughness with which it deals with technical concerns at the piano but also for the emphasis it places on the music first.”

-Bill Charlap

Successful jazz musicians require a sophisticated musical outlook underpinned by a healthy and advanced technique that allows them to play effortlessly. This requirement is equally true when playing riffs that include the technically difficult flourishes that give many jazz musicians their signature sound, such as large chords, fast tempos, and leaps to distant sections of the piano keyboard.
