This is Part 3 of my interview with Dr. J. Mitzi Kolar, some of the topics we covered in this segment is listed below. If you want better audio or just the audio, I uploaded a better sound quality audio file also. In Part 1 we talked about the development of the piano pedagogy field and Dr. Kolar gave some some inside look at the thought process that goes into writing a piano method book. In Part 2 we discussed pedagogical issues in teaching Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin's music. Again, sorry for the blurry video, I didn't realize the camera wasn't focused when we started the recording! So actually...parts 2-5 are all going to be like this. Here are some of the topics we covered in the third part of the interview:

Also, if you found this information come join us and like our studio's facebook page! I love these guys! Their acts are filled with awesome inside jokes for musicians and other comedy that non-musicians enjoy too. Great insight into the need to free the body and imagination in classical music! "The challenge that the classical musician faces, is that the nature of the music is a recreative one".
I had an awesome time interviewing Dr. Kolar on Wednesday night and was blown away with how much I learned through the opportunity to pick the brains of such an experienced piano pedagogue for TWO HOURS. Video of the interview is above. If you want better audio and only the audio, you can download or just listen to the audio file.
