We all face adversity. Pianists are no exception.

Can you relate to one of these students?

Rish and Nevin had arms that always held tension.

Ariel, a college student, dealt with severe arm and neck pain.

Kate developed pain in her hands and dealt with past piano trauma.

Thankfully, that’s not the whole story! Each one of these pianists eventually felt better.

But they needed a roadmap, and a guide.

“The lessons with him have completely transformed how I play and even sit at the piano.”

Not sure if this is for you?

Here are common concerns:

Can this really help with pain?

Yes! This program helps pianists dealing with pain, tension or discomfort.

What if I’m nervous or am out of practice?

That’s totally normal. This program is built for people just like you.

What if the doctor couldn’t help with my pain?

That’s not uncommon. Improving our movement can still improve how we feel.

“These lessons helped me return to piano after years of pain.”

After

In the After picture, you might notice:

  • The wrist isn’t pulling down

  • The hand is balanced forward and has better structure

  • The Arm, wrist, and hand are one piece

Those might seem easy to spot here.

But seeing them in yourself?

That’s difficult at first.

And noticing details like this through a whole song?

That’s where you need a roadmap and a coach.

I love helping pianists play comfortably again.
