Dr. Savage is co-author of the piano pedagogy book A Symposium for Pianists and Teachers: Strategies to Develop the Mind and Body for Optimal Performance, Heritage Music Press. He is the author of numerous articles found in Clavier, Clavier Companion, American Music Teacher, and Pianoforte magazines on topics such as wellness, entrepreneurship, and universal skills.
Dr. Savage pioneered the use of slow-motion video analysis to help pianists improve performance and minimize injury. His research has resulted in numerous master-classes at top music schools and national/international conferences.
