Two Centuries of Musical Harassmentc
Fulbright

of piano pedagogy, in a sneak preview of his upcoming

progressive trends and comprise a form of musical harassment
leaving generations of children scarred by the misery of piano
lessons, their parents' persistence, and their teachers'
torments." Space
is limited at the stately Berkshire home that is the site of
this gathering. $25
includes light refreshment For
