over two hundred publications for the piano. They recently founded
the Faber Piano Institute in Ann Arbor, MI, where they live with
their daughter Vivian.
Nancy Faber, who
was named "Distinguished Composer of the Year" by the Music
Teachers National Association, enjoys a busy schedule of commissions
for the concert stage in addition to her educational composing.
Recent commissions include The Snow Queen for narrator and
orchestra, The Picture My Imagination Has Painted for Flute
Quartet and Piano, and Trio for Flute, Saxophone and Piano.
Her pieces have been heard on U.S. public radio and network
television. She studied composition with Joan Tower, William
Albright, and British composer Nicholas Maw; piano studies were at
the Eastman School and Michigan State University.
Randall Faber has
toured North America, Asia and Australia. He was master teacher for
the World Conference on Piano Pedagogy, National Conference on
Keyboard Pedagogy, and the National Piano Teachers Institute. He gave
recent recitals in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, St. Louis, Ann
Arbor, Dallas, and Austin, with upcoming appearances at the Portland
International Music Festival, the Gilmore Festival, the Wasserman
Festival, and the Korea Piano Adventures Convention in Seoul. Dr.
Faber presented his academic research at the 9th International
Conference on Motivation in Lisbon, Portugal and is a frequent
keynote speaker and convention artist.
The Fabers
advocate piano study not only for personal expression and performance
success, but also as a vehicle for the student's creative and
cognitive development. Their philosophy is reflected in their
writing, their public appearances, and in their own teaching.
