Having it All:  First year Materials for the New Pianist
​
In the presenter’s experience,  the Russian School of Piano Playing provides the piano teacher with a thorough method, one that takes a student from Zero to fledgling contrapuntal writing in one academic year, utilizing top quality musical materials and creating the underpinnings of a secure and comfortable technique.  Supplemental Materials include Waxman  Pageants for Piano; Dozen a Day; Jon Robert Poe, various, including Look Who’s Visiting in My Garden; Harris Piano Classics Volume 1. ​
Miss Zuponcic has performed hundreds of concerts on four continents, including more than 50 concerts in the former USSR. Her recital in London in 1990 prompted this review from the London Times: "Miss Zuponcic is absolute mistress of Romantic syntax, phrases burgeoning with an effortless rubato." 

PIANODROME IN CHARLOTTE
​March 31-April 16, 2023
Opportunity for CPTF Members: 
CPTF was specifically invited to partner with the PianoDrome Festival as representatives of piano education in our city.
CPTF members used this space, free of charge, in so many creative ways: recitals, master classes, field trips, even lessons!
Three playable pianos were incorporated into the structure. PLUS, a refurbished baby grand performance instrument was in the center of the space. 
BEWARE of emails offering free Yamaha pianos and all you have to do is pay the moving costs. This is a SCAM.  


​​​​Founded in 1953, Charlotte Piano Teachers Forum serves the greater Charlotte community of musicians and music lovers by providing a platform to encourage an exchange of current pedagogical trends and new piano literature, student scholarships, and performance opportunities for members and students.
