Fred Karpoff is a consummate pianist, teacher, and lecturer. He is among those rare virtuosos who consciously understands what he is doing, and can impart his knowledge to others. In short, he is aware that we cannot convey our musical feelings and thoughts unless we make a physical connection to them on the keyboard.”

Unlock Knowledge and Remove Barriers
Many busy piano teachers feel that advanced technical training isn’t possible for them–they want to enrich their skill set but don’t feel they can afford the time or the cost of lessons with a master teacher.
At Entrada, we believe that everyone can learn whole-body, three-dimensional piano technique and gain outstanding professional development at exceptional value.
We have the tools you need. As a concert pianist and award-winning teacher, Fred has worked with thousands of teachers and pianists to improve their technique, empower them with confidence, and liberate their music-making.
The backbone of Entrada’s pedagogy, Skills is where you’ll find focused, sequenced videos designed to build a whole-body, three-dimensional technique from the very beginning through the most advanced levels.
Three-dimensional playing meets a wide range of musical concepts in repertoire you play and teach. Masterclass joins healthful playing with musical inspiration.
Insights are short videos on specific problem spots in repertoire of all levels. Don’t see the piece you are looking for? Members can submit requests for videos directly to Entrada.

Lessons with an artist-teacher are expensive, with uncertain takeaways or resources to sustain your gains in training. Get started with Entrada and invest in yourself–for your own advancement and for your students’ development. Become fearless at solving technical problems and gain musical inspiration on pieces you play and teach.
Playing the piano should feel easy. And learning healthful, effective movement should be easy, too. Arpeggios, trills, tremolos, octaves, repeated chords, scales, pedaling…you can learn how to play and teach these elements effortlessly, with confidence.
Most musicians strive to reach their full potential. With Skills, Entrada breaks down challenges into manageable lessons. Masterclass features in-depth tutorials on popular repertoire you play and teach. Insights on intriguing spots in repertoire are filmed and released regularly, based on your questions and requests. Subscribers to Entrada Teacher also receive the Teaching Guide, a comprehensive Glossary, and Entrada Studio, an innovative studio management tool that includes a dedicated homepage.
You’ll be empowered to teach more difficult repertoire, do more teaching and less correcting, and guide your students to play more expressively as you gain a systematic method and vocabulary to play and teach. Watch your students become more confident and willing to take more risks (and practice!) as you guide them to discover easier choreography of movement that is both injury-preventive and allows for greater expression.

I subscribed to Entrada some time ago and it has revolutionized my teaching. I have a much firmer grasp of the principles of technique and how to explain and articulate that.

I could never adequately express what a positive difference this training has made in my teaching abilities. I use it with my beginning and my advanced students. It helps with training the beginning piano hand as well as playing difficult passages. I only wish I had been exposed to this much earlier in my teaching career.”

Discover the Key to Expressive, Effortless Playing
Do you or your students struggle with arpeggios, tremolos, and octaves? Has your skill-set hit a plateau? Does some repertoire feel unattainable?
We know that frustration well.
Developed over 30 years of teaching, Fred Karpoff’s approach to whole-body piano playing, Three-Dimensional Piano Technique, will help you break through those barriers and reinvigorate your playing and teaching.
Combining elements of Tai chi, the Alexander Technique, and the Feldenkrais Method with the work of many piano pedagogues, past and present, he now guides teachers and students toward more efficient, healthful, and expressive piano playing.
