Dr. Bottazzi has always had a passion for teaching pianists to play with great artistry, in the tradition of Horowitz and Rubinstein. To fulfill that passion, she has gone beyond her school teaching and her coaching professional pianists to focus on producing Teaching DVDs. These DVDs, in which she expounds on and performs pieces from the classical piano repertoire, are available for purchase on her website, Bottazzi Hands (formerly called Practice With The Masters, which she established and launched with Robert Wichlan in 2005). There is also a four-part DVD course in advanced piano technique. Dr. Bottazzi has made over 600 DVDs. This very successful and unique enterprise has been selling DVDs to pianists all over the world including the United States, Argentina, Europe, Canada, China and Hong Kong. They are a treasured legacy of everything she has been privileged to learn and to perform.
