Piano Concertos: Tips for Teaching (Catherina Lemoni) This session focuses on the piano concerto, exploring issues around techniques, interpretation, accompaniment, orchestration and conducting relevant to teaching the keyboard concertos of Bach, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Psychology and the Piano Teacher: Engaging the Learner (Lorraine O’Connell) Every piano student is unique and one of the skills teachers need to develop is how to respond to and work with each student in order to create a supportive learning environment which facilitates students in meeting their potential. This session will explore how insights from the psychology of music education can facilitate teachers in motivating learners to engage in a variety of modes of learning and to construct their own knowledge and understanding and so become more independent learners. <h3>Friday 16 June </h3>Technique Development in Young Pianists 2 (Orla McDonagh) This session will focus on a structured approach towards building a successful technique in young pianists, including an examination of the major stages and core elements of technique development, related challenges, physical and psychological influences, the evolution of technique as regards sound, fingering, musical gesture, and tips/tricks to support both the student and teacher in growing a flawless technique together. Sourcing Piano Repertoire Online: Exploring Options (Siobhan Kilkelly) This presentation will focus on the challenge of sourcing and surveying student repertoire online following the demise of many traditional music shops. It will look at various music shops and one stop websites as well as library resources such as IMSLP to see how to keep up to date with current publications, as well as providing reliable guidance to students for acquiring music scores. Using technology with an ipad/tablet will be discussed. Swopping of ideas will be encouraged! Piano Plus-One (or Two, Three, Four...) (Alison Thomas) An exploration of the world of the pianist as collaborator. This presentation will explore some of the repertoire for piano 4-hands, as well as piano and other instrument combinations, from beginner to more advanced levels. Highlighting the beneficial aspects of making music with others, the hope is that participants will leave with some new ideas for keyboard partnerships within their own studios. Let&#x27;s Dance! Style and Interpretation of the Baroque Suite (Rachel Factor) Come and explore the 18th century Baroque Keyboard Suite with Rachel Factor. The presentation will feature the characteristics of popular Baroque dance movements, style and interpretation associated with this genre and discuss challenges students may encounter when studying this repertoire. <h3>Saturday 17 June </h3>The Piano Teacher: Musical Critic and Musical Model (Mary Lennon) This session focuses on the role of the piano teacher as musical critic and musical model. The dimensions of musical criticism within which we operate will be explored along with approaches to teacher modelling and demonstration. Aspects of teachers’ verbal and non-verbal behaviours will be discussed and issues around teacher feedback examined. French Piano Music: Issues of Interpretation (David Mooney) Late nineteenth and early twentieth century France produced some of the most beautiful repertoire for the piano. However, the term ‘Impressionism’  has led to many misunderstandings about how the music was meant to be played. This talk will briefly explore  the  style(s) of the music and offer some guidance on how to approach its interpretation. Young Students’ Progress, Practice and Potential: The Teacher’s Role (Shirin Goudarzi Tobin) Although the grade system is helpful in guiding teachers in choosing appropriate repertoire for students, it can prove a little rigid if one follows the ‘one size fits all’ approach. This session focuses on ways of ‘speeding up’ students’ progress, and discusses aspects of technique, repertoire and pedal, along with issues around student practice and potential.
