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:
“At present I feel like a caged animal, bound up by the luxury, comfort and respectability of my position. I can’t get the training that I want without neglecting my duty.”
—Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
