This is rooted in the Taubman Method and the Well-Balanced Pianist Approach. It is not generic piano lessons.
This may be for you if:
• Playing hurts or feels tense
• Your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or back gets tired
• You’ve been told to ‘relax,’ but don’t know how
• You love piano, but your body gets in the way
You don’t need to be advanced. Pain and tension can happen at any level.
What happens in the assessment?
We take a careful look at how you play.
You’ll leave with:
A clearer sense of why piano may be hurting or uncomfortable
One or two specific setup changes to try
A practical movement adjustment toward more comfortable playing
