"Your session was truly outstanding"
"...
What a special treat is was to hear your session at the MTNA National Convention in Los Angeles. ..Your session was truly outstanding. In fact, I’m sure it was a convention highlight for those who attended-and it was one of the best attended of all. The program content was well developed and was packed with an incredible amount of usable information for the studio teacher.
By the way, your delivery style was also quite impressive. It was captivating and powerful. I could tell within the first thirty seconds that the audience became instantly eager to hear what you had to say.
Ingrid, through your teaching and your workshops, you are making significant contributions to music and the music teaching profession. In fact, I plan to mention you whenever I’m asked to recommend an affective presenter. I am also personally grateful for your commitment to MTNA and our programs.

You would be as thrilled as I am if you were to see the results of your visit last month. The difference that we heard and saw in out end-of-January recital is the product of your recommendations and inspiration. Thank you, so much!

Pedagogy Friday "Assessment in Your Studio" - Training Your Students to Hear and See What You Do!
As teachers, we spend a lot of time during lessons telling students what to correct. However, what happens when they go home? Some have parents who will continue telling them, but are they really listening to themselves? This session will guide teachers in developing critical listening skills and vocabulary for students from the beginning.

THE ROAD TO TECHNICAL AND STYLISTIC MASTERY
July 11, 2007
This workshop examines the essential elements of building a solid technique that leads to greater musicality and stylistic awareness. Attention will be given on how to achieve the correct sound that will result in desired musical purpose. An overview of the stylistic traits of the musical periods will be presented as they relate to how a student learns and polishes their repertoire for performance. Repertoire and exercises will be demonstrated from Elementary through Advanced levels. Professor Clarfield will incorporate examples from her books, Burgm ü ller, Czerny, & Hanon: 32 Studies Selected For Technique and Musicality , and Keys to Stylistic Mastery (Books 1,2,3 co-authored with Dennis Alexander) published by Alfred Publishing Company.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU HEAR! July 12, 2007
How we move at the keyboard definitely impacts how the audience hears the music. Teaching artistic performance chorography should be an integral part of the artistic process from the beginning stages of learning. This session will address the importance of teaching opening and closing gestures, as well as adapting body language to match the music’s changing moods. Stylistic differences and propriateness will also be discussed.
