For the past few years, Edna Golandsky has been working with violinist Sophie Till, who was seeking relief from protracted problems. This has led to the development of a comprehensive application of the Taubman Approach to string instruments. Together, they traveled to England in 2013 to hold a symposium for both piano and violin at the University of Cambridge.

Edna Golandsky is the person with whom Dorothy Taubman worked most closely. In 1976, Mrs. Golandsky conceived the idea of establishing an institute where people could meet over the summer and conduct intensive research on the Taubman Approach. She encouraged Ms. Taubman to establish the Taubman Institute, which they led together as co-founders. Ms. Taubman was executive director and Mrs. Golandsky served as artistic director. Almost from the start, Mrs. Taubman trusted Mrs. Golandsky to plan and schedule the annual summer session. Golandsky gave daily lectures on the Taubman Approach and later also conducted master classes. As the face of the Taubman Approach, Mrs. Golandsky discusses each of its elements in a ten-volume video series. Ms. Taubman has written: “I consider her the primary authority in the Taubman Approach for instrumental performance.”

Edna Golandsky's lectures have expanded the Taubman Approach and have taught it to many people who have benefited from it. As his knowledge deepened over the years, he continued to develop new material. It presents the Taubman Approach in its entirety in the ten DVD set The Taubman Techniques. In conjunction with the Golandsky Institute, he has further developed the Taubman Approach in the three-DVD set The Art of Rhythmic Expression, which has been praised worldwide; and the two-DVD set The Forgotten Lines: Lines that Support, Surround, and Intensify the Melody.

Throughout her career, Ms. Golandsky has developed instructional materials so that pianists can access this body of knowledge. Nearly a million pianists have seen them. Also, recognizing the common denominator between keyboards of all types and that pianists' injuries are applicable to all keyboard users, Mrs. Golandsky established Healthy Typing, a consulting service to help alleviate the great economic and physical damage caused by incorrect keyboard habits.
