Post 7: AN EXPERT ON YOUR FIELD

 Nancy and Randall Faber are the creators of the "Piano Adventures" teaching method. Nancy was born en Jackson, Tennessee in 1955. She studied both performance and composition at the Eastman School of Music, then went on to get a Bachelor Degree in Composition and Master of Fine Arts Degree in Musica composition. Randall was born in Michigan in 1954. He received both a Bachelor and Masters Degree in Piano Performance from the university of Michigan, a Mastesrs Degree in Instructional Design and a PhD in Education and Human Developed.

They met in 1977 and then got married, decided to create a piano teaching method that, thanks to their piano knowledge and education, is one of the most effective and popular in the world, has been translated into many languages and It is widely used in Chile.

These methods address a large number of categories, and are divided into 3 big groups: teaching children, adolescents and adults. Each of them has volumes that address classical music, jazz, popular music, only piano technique, only music theory lessons, improvisation, and many more, they have more than 200 books published and dedicated to teaching!

Their main focus is "developing the mind and heart", they value musical performance not only as a personal and creative expression, but also as a process of cognitive and emotional development.

I teach piano to my students with Nancy and Randall's "Piano Adventures" method, I find it so fun and colorful! I will leave some photos so you can see

However, it is their nature and I think they are not to blame. Pepina arrived at the garden of my house with a wing injured because a cat attacked her, hurt her wing and it began to bleed.

She started a treatment of antibiotics but she stopped eating, and the stress caused by being locked up made her go into a state of pulling out her feathers, she became malnourished and weighed 60g (her normal weight is 100g) Then her wing didn't get better and...
