Dear Friend,

As we reflect on another remarkable year of growth, learning, and global connection, we are filled with gratitude for your continued support. Your generosity has allowed the Golandsky Institute to reach pianists around the world with the transformative power of the Taubman Approach.

This past year, we welcomed many new participants to our online Summer Symposium, and their enthusiasm has invigorated our entire community. Pianists of all ages and levels are discovering that freedom, health, and artistry at the piano are truly within reach, and that this work changes lives.

Now, after several years online, we are eager to bring an in-person Golandsky Institute program back in 2026. Whether it takes the form of an in-person workshop or a renewed version of the Summer Symposium, we know how meaningful it is for our community to gather, learn, and make music together. But offering an in-person event requires significant planning and resources, and we need your support to make it possible.

Year after year, we see pianists and students with severe technical problems and playing-related injuries. Our mission is to give teachers the tools they need to prevent these issues from the start and to guide pianists out of pain and back into healthy, expressive playing.

As you consider your gift this year:

• If the Taubman Approach has helped you overcome pain, technical limitations, or injury, please consider giving back so that another student, someone who may be struggling as you once did, can access the guidance they urgently need but cannot afford.
• If you have never given before, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of healthy, informed piano education.
• If you have supported us in the past, thank you. Your generosity has already made a profound difference. Would you consider increasing your donation this year to help us meet the growing demand for this work?

Your tax-deductible donation will help us:

• Bring an in-person Golandsky Institute program to fruition, allowing students, teachers, and performers to reconnect in a shared learning environment.
• Continue expanding our online resources, making high-quality instruction and support accessible worldwide.
• Fund scholarships for gifted pianists dedicated to deepening their study and teaching of the Taubman Approach.
• Sustain and grow innovative projects like the Inside the Taubman Approach podcast, which has now reached listeners in more than 100 countries and 2,000 cities!

Every gift, large or small, makes a tangible impact. Your tax-deductible donation ensures that pianists everywhere can play with freedom, prevent injury, and share the joy of music for a lifetime.

Together, we can make 2026 a year of reconnection, renewal, and artistic growth.

Thank you for your generosity and for being an essential part of the Golandsky Institute community.

With gratitude,
Edna Golandsky
Founder and Artistic Director
