Training
After early lessons with Dorothy Schneider, a pupil of Tobias Matthay, Haydn went on to study for several years with Isabel Beyer, half of the renowned Beyer-Dagul Piano Duo. Subsequently, he took lessons with the distinguished Royal Academy of Music Professor, Guy Jonson. During the 1990s, Haydn studied intensively in London with the renowned pianist, composer, and pedagogue Peter Feuchtwanger, who became his principal influence and mentor and in whose legendary International Masterclasses he assisted.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“In Washington, success is just a training course for failure.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
