The Finlay Method

HAPPENING TOMORROW! 8/23 @11 Central. Tickets at www.finlaymethod.com/tickets

Saturday morning at 11am CT, I will be hosting a fabulous pianist and teacher and all around great guy for my workshop series. Alex McDonald will offer his insights into the technical challenges posed in the music of Franz Liszt and offer a virtual masterclass with live feedback for performing participants.

Dr. McDonald was a top prizewinner at both the New Orleans and Gina Bachauer Piano Competitions and competed in the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. A graduate of NEC and Juilliard, he is the former artistic director of the Basically Beethoven Festival in Dallas and is a sought-after pedagogue whose students have gone on to Juilliard, Eastman, and other top conservatories.

What makes Dr. McDonald truly stand out is the clarity and depth he brings to teaching—shaped by outstanding artistry and informed by his personal journey through injury and recovery. He’s become a leading voice in technique and injury prevention, and I can’t wait to host him!
