Barbara Fast serves on the piano faculty at the University of Oklahoma as Professor of Piano Pedagogy and Piano Area Chair, where she coordinates the group piano program as well as teaches graduate and undergraduate piano pedagogy. In 2014, she was the recipient of OU’s prestigious Regents Award for Superior Teaching for excellence in teaching.

Her lifelong interest in effective teaching led Dr. Fast to researching and discussing the practical applications of educational research to teaching in the private lesson and group class. Frequent workshop topics include efficient practicing, technology related to practicing, sight-reading, and the brain and learning.

I am excited that Dr. Fast will lead our Tuesday night Group Lesson with her program "Overcoming the Brain's Negativity Bias". How many times have we thought we could have played so much better? That one mistake overwhelms us at times until we let it take control of us which then affects the rest of our playing. Dr. Fast has some wonderful hints about how to talk back to our brain.
