“I am very happy to write on behalf of this book. I
have gone through it thoroughly and can assure you it is a
first-rate piece of research that contains vital information
for all musicians. The Anatomy of Musicality is a superb contribution
to the field of music.”
Dr. Maurice Hinson
Senior Professor of Piano, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Luisville, Kentucky
“Marvelous work... It is truly a work of extraordinary
scope and detail with the added distinction of being wonderfully
imaginative and even comical at times. The little drawings
just warm my heart, and their connection to such profound
musical truths makes them even more unusual.”
Nina Scolnik
Pianist, Piano Professor
Los Angeles, California
"Rozalie Levant in her book, The Anatomy of Musicality,
magically describes how to think about practicing in ways
most of us have never imagined. The Anatomy of Musicality
is an extraordinary book, which has no parallel. I found myself
completely engrossed in Levant's book, and predict you will
be, too."
Dr. Walden Hughes, Pianist
Professor of Music, NNU
Nampa, Idaho
“What an absolutely wonderful book! I have been fascinated
reading it. Dr. Levant's vivid and sensible explanations give
us a roadmap for navigating the difficulties of playing the
piano. Using her masterful system, a pianist of any age or
level can dissolve long-standing obstacles. Her examples teach
practical ways to coax beauty and power from each musical
phrase. Nothing else I've ever read about pedagogy has inspired
me to begin studying piano again. This book did.”
Carol Reynolds, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, SMU
Dallas, Texas
“This is quite an unique book, with a wealth of ideas
presented in an unorthodox and uncompromising but also witty
and good humored approach. It really delivers what it promises
in its title: the anatomy of musicality. The precision with
which this analysis is performed is nothing short of unbelievable.
The amount of thought-inspiring ideas is so great that one
can read it for years and still find something new...There
is a depth of thought and sharpness of perception one only
rarely encounters today.”
Kemal Gekic
Pianist, Piano Professor, FIU
Maimi, Florida
"I read with great interest Rozalie Levant's new book.I
was deeply impressed with her knowledge, presentation and
evident wealth of experience in the pianistic and teaching
field.It should be carefully considered in any College Piano
Pedagogy curicullum”.
Alfred Mouledous
Faculty, SMU
Dallas,Texas
"This book will be a wonderful and unique contribution
to the literature on musicianship in piano performance. It
is a practical book for all musicians."
Dr. Jane Magrath
Piano Professor, University of Oklahoma
