Today, I watched Sound Principles and Principles of Sound, a dvd lecture given by Phillip Kawin, one of the most insightful teachers out there and whom I also have the great pleasure of studying with at the Manhattan School of Music. The title proves a bit confusing. I would say that the heart of the DVD focuses on the Principles of Learning Music rather than Principles of Sound; but for this exact reason, the dvd is even more valuable. The second half (video comprises of 2 separate lectures) is especially helpful. One of the main concepts Mr. Kawin takes time to explain is skeletonizing, a method of study which aids both the physical and aural aspect of learning a piece of music. The DVD is addressed both to teachers as well as to intermediate and advanced pianists.
