The Keyboard Wellness Workshop is a safe and caring environment and a great place to meet other musicians who share the same concerns and aspirations.  These two weekend intensive workshops cover advanced principles of coordination and natural movement at the keyboard in order to enhance sound, avoid pain and injury, and liberate technique.  These movements are essential for rendering technical difficulties manageable, stress free, and even effortless.  The principles discussed are useful for students, teachers, and performers at all levels.

Sheila Page brings over 30 years of experience in the work of Dorothy Taubman and an extensive background in Alexander Technique.  She is also a faculty member of the Dorothy Taubman Seminar.  Ms. Paige’s reputation as a teacher attracts pianists nationally and she commutes to Pittsburg, Cleveland, Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis, Dallas, Austin, Raleigh and Charlotte to teach on a regular basis.  Her students number many university faculty members and performers who have appeared with orchestras including the Vienna Philharmonic, Pittsburg Symphony and the London Symphony.  Conference presentations include Oklahoma Music Teachers, Music Teachers of California, Texas Music Teachers Association, Piano Celebration in CO, and in June 2009 Seminar for Piano Teachers at the University of Oklahoma.  An active performer, Ms. Paige has appeared in recital and with orchestras both locally and nationally.  Among her accompanying credits is an appearance at Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, and her solo performances have been broadcast on National Public Radio.
