Stewart Gordon is a musician, teacher, writer, editor, composer, and impresario. He holds the position of Professor of Keyboard Studies at the Thornton School of Music of the University of Southern California in Los Angles. As a performing pianist, he has played concerts throughout the world and recorded extensively, both to critical acclaim. As a teacher and author he has produced textbooks, essays, videotapes, and editions. As a composer, his musical theater works have been produced from coast to coast, and as an impresario, he has directed music festival and competitions over the past decades in New York, Washington, and Savannah.

This workshop will focus on the principles in his book, Mastering the Art of Performance: A Primer for Musicians.  Stewart Gordon offers seasoned advice to musicians (amateur and professional) on meeting the challenges of performance. Through real-life examples and pre-performance exercises, he gives musicians and other performers practical insights into every aspect of performance, and offers detailed suggestions for solving problems including stage fright, dealing with criticism, and constructive self-evaluations,

While aimed primarily at musicians, the workshop will be useful to anyone facing the pressures of performance, such as actors, dancers, and even public speakers.  More information on Mr. Gordon at stewartgordon.com.
