Our General Meeting on Friday, February 25th was a treat to attend. Our guest presenter was Natalie Burton, who is currently pursuing her doctorate degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy at ASU. Ms. Burton gave an informative presentation on "How our Brains Memorize Music: Learning Strategies to Improve Memory." In it she explained the process of memorizing, focusing on creating strong neural pathways in the brain that can retrieve and recall information. She identified and demonstrated musical techniques and tips that teachers can use to help students develop skills for better memorization to help them free their imaginations as they perform.
After her presentation Natalie took time to give a Master Class. Two DVMTA students performed and received instruction and advice to further their performance progression. We love to have guests work with out students, to help them bring out the best in their pieces and performance. We are thankful to Natalie for taking the time to be with us, and wish her the best in her studies and career.
