Technique Boot Camp
Deborah Sobol will offer intensive private “technical boot camp” sessions to individuals desiring to broaden and improve the technical skills that make up the artistic foundation of their work at the piano.
Open to pianists only.
Areas of Focus
Technique Diagnostics
Your complete piano technique will be assessed and an action plan will be created together with you to address any issues or areas of concern as well as skills to be developed or enhanced. Areas which will be diagnosed include: technical strength in all components of advanced keyboard technique, freedom in playing, variety of tonal palette, extensiveness of stylistic tonal palette, and variety of touch and tone.
Customized Instruction
Using the action plan created from the technical diagnostic, you will acquire and implement new technical skills. You will also be coached in how to learn repertoire technically and address technical challenges from the outset.
Injury Prevention and Recovery
Basic anatomy concepts, physical conditioning, "safe playing" techniques, and methods for healing from injury will be covered in depth. You will learn how to deal with tension in playing and performing, and how to build a technical foundation with diverse skills designed to prevent injury in practice and provide freedom on the stage.
Instruction Plans
Action plans from the initial diagnostic range from weekly technical lessons to lessons 2-3 times per week for a concentrated period, which include basic technical work, technical work on etudes and repertoire, and extensive video and audio review with Ms. Sobol.
Special student rates are available: fees range from $125 – $165 per session.
