Any piano player is only as good as their technique, so you’ll be trained to play with ease, coordinating and cooperating with your body’s unique anatomy and structure. Everyone plays a little differently, so there’s no absolute right and wrong, but there’s definitely easier! By teaching movement principles based on the Alexander Technique, players of any level can unlock their physical potential at the piano.
