LECTURING
Teresa Dybvig is frequently asked by colleges and other music organizations to present lectures and master classes on both the interpretive and technical aspects of playing the piano. Her lectures focus on three distinct areas: Dorothy Taubman's approach to piano technique, the application of the Dunn and Dunn learning styles model to teaching piano, and Music by Women. Her lectures have been heard in many colleges and music teacher's organizations in twelve states of the U.S. and three cities in Turkey.

Dr. Dybvig is active in research to uncover music by women to add to the mainstream repertoire. Her most recent contribution is an article about contemporary music by Turkish women for Women Composers: Music Through the Ages, a 12-volume anthology of music by women.
