Building Artistry from the First Lesson: A Musical Blueprint

Christopher Fisher, NCTM, and Katherine Fisher

Training in artistry begins in the very first lesson. This track will provide attendees with a blueprint for developing well-rounded pianists through the integration of different aspects of musicianship. Discover practical approaches that cultivate sensitive listening, movement and body awareness, creativity, and improvisation from the earliest lessons. Learn how intentional teaching can build technical freedom, inspire musical imagination, cultivate authentic expression, and empower students to build a lifelong foundation for confident, thoughtful, and artistic music-making.
