Often, in coordination with his concerts, Frederic presents masterclasses and seminars with the DPS theme. This past year, he made presentations at the MTNA National Conference in Denver, CO, as well as at State MTA conferences in NY and NJ. His topics included The Art of Emotional Practicing, and Learning without a Keyboard.

 

He was invited to present a module on learning without the keyboard at the New England Conservatory, where he led 12 pianists in techniques that allowed them to perform a short Mendelssohn piece from memory within two hours.

 

He has given classes at the Metropolitan Museum, Skidmore College, the Portland Piano Festival, the Mannes School in NYC, and the Yamaha Artist Services Showroom in NYC.

 

Frederic is currently a Visiting Artist at the Jacob School at Indiana University in Bloomington, where he is in residency presenting group classes and performance masterclasses.
