Examples of the language used in their teaching are provided and expressions used to explain their concepts are compared and discussed. A chapter on biomechanics is included to supplement piano teachers with the specific language and other helpful information to establish clearer criteria in understanding these and other approaches to piano technique.Related performances for this degree -- Mauricio Starosta's DMA Piano Recital 1: https://hdl.handle.net/2346/97806 Mauricio Starosta's DMA Piano Recital 2: https://hdl.handle.net/2346/97807 Mauricio Starosta's DMA Piano Recital 3: https://hdl.handle.net/2346/97808 Mauricio Starosta's DMA Piano Lecture: https://hdl.handle.net/2346/97809application/pdfDissertation2024-04-16
