Australian pianist, teacher, and AMEB examiner Anthony van den Broek will be giving a Workshop and Masterclass at ACTKA’s upcoming professional development day. Anthony will outline the fundamentals of the Taubman Approach, a systematic and scientific study of the elements of a healthy, virtuosic piano technique.
