Anatomy, Technique, and Wellness Principles

About this book

Unlock a fluid and versatile piano technique with this guide to coordinate movement, anatomy, and wellness. Drawing from piano instruction, medicine, and Body Mapping, Lisa Marsh presents a detailed discussion about the types of movement that contribute to a healthy piano technique.

Coordinate Movement for Pianists is divided into three parts. Part I establishes foundational concepts like the relationship between sound and movement and sensory awareness. Part II focuses on developing a piano technique based on relaxed, efficient movements. Part III discusses musicians' physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Students and teachers alike are certain to gain new inspiration and reap the benefits from applying these ideas to their own craft. This resource is perfect for pianists, piano teachers, and music students.
