Six Part Presentation with pianist Robert Henry. I recently attended an MTNA Robert Henry MasterClass Webinar for teachers. His clarity, wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm for both performing and teaching, and the opportunity to learn are not to be missed! I found this youtube after a Google search, and it is amazing; it is for students and well-done. (Individual students in my studio will receive recommendations on parts of the youtube to review.)
