I have had the pleasure of knowing Renée for almost a year now! The strategies and techniques that she teaches in her resources are phenomenal. I’m a private piano teacher and have used so much of what she teaches in my curriculum to my students! I was not taught how to overcome my own performance anxiety, but I’m hoping to break that cycle for the students I teach. Thank you Renée for making that possible for my studio!
Dr. Renee-Paule Gauthier is a masterful interviewer- bringing to this show the leading headliners of the industry. Every episode leaves you with fascinating back- stories and amazing tips from the masters themselves—Including Dr Gauthier! Her solo episodes never cease to inspire and motivate.
The entire episode was very good BUT I really got a lot out of Nijioma's tip on how to memorize music. It's a tip that has me thinking why haven't I done that before. As I'm working on memorizing one of the Goldbergs Variations, I will be adding this to my memorization process.
I love this podcast and the clarity of the way it’s delivered. I am looking forward to more episodes. I have recommended it to many. I now understand the gap in my preparation and why my palm are sweaty!!!
Dr. Renee is the real deal. A must listen to podcast series with helpful advice. Lots of information available to help further your career!
