Re: Standing During Lessons

When I took lessons from Gervase De Peyer he had me stand in lessons since most of my work was as a soloist standing up. He also stood throughout the lessons. When I coached with him for chamber music, he has me sit.

Lessons with Russianoff were sitting unless we were in a coaching situation where I would be standing for the eventual performance.

Working with Opperman is a sit down situation; the lessons with him can, and often do, go on all day.

I have most of my students stand in the lesson for I think if they can play it standing, then sitting and playing it will be easier.
