Important Information for Golandsky Institute 2012 Summer Symposium Registrants
QUESTIONS:
For inquiries and questions about the Symposium and Festival, you may email us at symposium@golandskyinstitute.org or call toll-free 1-877-343-3434 (US only) before and during the Symposium.
FUTURE COMMUNICATION:
We will be sending out updates by email closer to the time of the Symposium. We will also be posting more detailed information on our website as it becomes available. Please make sure that your spam controls do not prevent our emails from reaching you. If you have supplied us with an email address, we expect any communication sent to that address to reach you.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Because so much advance planning goes into our Summer Symposium, we must ask all participants to notify us in writing in the event of cancellation and to abide by the following terms of our Cancellation Policy, which is strictly enforced:
a) The deposit of $500 is refundable upon request until April 15. After this date the deposit is not refundable.
b) Refunds on cancellation requests received between April 15 and June 15 shall be honored at 50% of the program cost.
c) No refunds shall be granted for participants whose written request is received after June 15. In cases of illness or injury substantiated with a medical certificate, $1,000 shall be retained by the Institute, with the participant entitled to apply $500 of this amount toward the next summer symposium.
d) Participants who register and are unable to attend for any reason may send a substitute participant provided the Institute receives prior notice.
e) Participants who leave the program early are not entitled to a refund.
REMINDER ABOUT DINING THIS YEAR:
The fee includes daily lunch for both resident and commuting participants in Princeton University’s dining facilities. Breakfast in one of the University’s dining halls for the eight days of the Symposium may be purchased for an additional $75 when you make your final payment for the Symposium. Because we must inform the University how many people intend to have breakfast prior to our arrival, this option will not be available after July 1. Dinner is not included in the fee, and participants may not use the dining hall for the evening meal. Participants will receive detailed information on local cafes, restaurants and University food services that are within easy walking distance of the Symposium and Festival sites.
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE:
The arrival date is Saturday, July 7. There will be a short orientation meeting that evening. The Symposium starts the following morning.
The departure date is Sunday, July 15. The program will end with the concert on the previous Saturday evening. Plan to depart by noon on Sunday – you will not be able to occupy your dorm room after this time (no exceptions will be made). Please plan your travel accordingly.
CHECK-IN:
Check-in for Symposium participants residing on campus will be between 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM Saturday, July 7. We will announce the exact location of check-in when the University informs us. Rooms will not be ready for occupancy until 2:00 PM. If you are arriving earlier or later, you must contact the Institute in advance to make special arrangements.
If you are arriving on campus by train, we will provide a shuttle service from the train station to the dorm between the hours of 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM. We cannot provide this service if you arrive at another time.
LATE ARRIVAL:
People who arrive after the scheduled arrival hours should go to the Office of Public Safety (Campus Security) to retrieve their room keys. For a map, visit www.princeton.edu/~pumap. Under “Find” click “Facilities,” then click “Public Safety.”
The telephone number for the Office of Public Safety is 609-258-1000. The Office is located at 200 Elm Drive.
ORIENTATION MEETING:
Our first event will be a short orientation meeting on Saturday evening, July 7 for all participants.
Commuting participants are encouraged to come on July 7 as well. You will be able to obtain your information packet, a parking permit, and access cards to the buildings we use.
INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT REGISTRATION:
When you arrive you, will receive housing information, a campus map, a complete calendar for the Symposium and Festival, a personal daily schedule including practice times and locations, and information about the Princeton community including restaurants and ATM locations.
Any information packets not picked up at registration on Saturday will be at Whig Hall before 10:00 AM on Sunday morning.
BOOKLET OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES:
Until 2005, we supplied booklets of musical examples to all participants. If you attended the Symposium in the years from 2005 through 2011, you already have a current example booklet and will be expected to bring it back with you. The Institute will supply booklets free of charge for new participants. Returning participants will be able to purchase a replacement copy of the booklet for $25 if supplies permit.
TECHNIQUE CLINICS, BREAK-OUT GROUPS AND SUPPORT GROUPS:
This year participants will again be able to choose whether to attend technique clinics devoted to solving passage problems in the traditional literature or technique clinics devoted to solving problems in the jazz idiom. The clinics are interactive and we invite you to bring your own passage problems for discussion.
Returning participants will attend sessions that spotlight particular excerpts from the repertoire. Following the discussion, there will be interactive break-out groups where participants get hands-on attention from faculty members. We will post the examples to be covered before the Symposium starts. We recommend that participants become familiar with these examples before arriving at the Symposium in order to gain the most benefit from the break-out sessions.
Support group sessions under trained leadership will also be available for participants. The group helps challenge the notion that physical limitations, injuries, and pain result from individual defects or failings. The group is able to tap into the vast experience of its members to show how universal these feelings are and to provide strategies for moving ahead and retraining.
PARKING:
Princeton University provides us with free parking on campus. Cars must be registered at check-in and parked only in Lot 32, located on Elm Drive, off Faculty Road. Princeton University and the Institute are not responsible for parking violations you receive if you park elsewhere. Commuting participants may park in Lot 32 or Lot 21 (Visitor Parking).
WHERE WE ARE:
Symposium and Festival events will be held in several campus buildings all within walking distance of one another. Locations will be different from prior years because of some construction on the Princeton campus. Master classes and lectures will be held in Whig Hall and private lessons will be given in Woolworth Hall, home of the Music Department. Resident participants will be housed in one of Princeton’s air-conditioned dorms (we will let you know the specifics as soon as the University informs us). Practice rooms will be located in Woolworth and one of the residential halls. The International Piano Festival recitals will be held in Berlind Theater and Richardson Auditorium.

The 2010 Golandsky Institute Summer Symposium At Princeton
An Intensive Seven-Day Immersion In The Taubman Approach
At the 2010 Golandsky Institute Summer Symposium at Princeton, participants will attend lectures, master classes, technique clinics and other presentations by Edna Golandsky and the Institute's expert faculty, all of whom have undergone years of rigorous training to qualify as teachers of the Taubman Approach. In addition, each participant will have private lessons and interactive technique clinics.
Note: We are not accepting registrations yet. If you would like to register, please sign up for our email list or check this page again in the near future.
The Taubman Approach
Decades ago, Mrs. Taubman's genius led her to analyze what underlies virtuoso piano playing. The result of that investigation has produced a body of knowledge that can lead to an effortless and brilliant technique. It can also prevent and cure fatigue, pain and other playing-related injuries.
Edna Golandsky is the person with whom Taubman worked most closely. In 1976 Ms. Golandsky conceived the idea of establishing an Institute where people could come together during the summer and pursue an intensive investigation of Taubman's work. She encouraged Mrs. Taubman to establish the Taubman Institute, which they ran together, along with Enid Stettner, as co-founders. Mrs. Taubman was Executive Director and Ms. Golandsky served as Artistic Director. Almost from the beginning, Mrs. Taubman entrusted Ms. Golandsky with the planning and programming of the annual summer session. She gave daily lectures on Taubman's work and later conducted master classes as well. As the face of the Taubman Approach, Ms. Golandsky discusses each of its elements in a ten-volume video series. Mrs. Taubman has written, "I consider her the leading authority on the Taubman approach to instrumental playing."
