Dorothy Taubman (August 16, 1917 – April 3, 2013) was an American music pedagogue and founder of the Taubman Institute of New York. She developed the "Taubman approach" to piano playing, based on analyzing the movements needed for virtuoso and musical expression. She gained recognition for her high success rate in treating injuries caused by piano playing. Her method sparked controversy because it challenged some principles of traditional piano teaching in terms of their physiological justification.
