I am honored to be a part of the inaugural ToneBase Summer Piano Camp, held in bucolic Vermont, with its stunning faculty. My residency will be for four days, and include lessons, master classes and lectures on some of the technical principles explored in my ToneBase videos. Emphasis, as always, on the all-encompassing “Master School of Modern Piano Playing and Virtuosity,” collated by the brilliant pedagogue Alberto Jónas (1868 – 1943), pictured here.

See my piano pedagogy video lecture [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InY2RoiGHQg&t=576s], given in Portugal in 2011, for more insight into Jonás’ superb pedagogical resource.
