What Every Pianist Needs to Know About the Body With Supplementary Material for Organists

Techniques on how to gain greater fluidity of movement while playing to improve the quality of the experience are offered in this manual for serious piano players. This book encourages musicians to develop a broader understanding of the involvement of the entire body in playing -- and the strains playing places on the body -- by focusing on body mapping to increase awareness of the body's function, size, and structure. Ways in which piano, organ, harpsichord, clavichord, and digital keyboard players can eliminate or prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and other debilitating conditions without traditional medical treatments are also explored.Mark, Thomas is the author of 'What Every Pianist Needs to Know About the Body With Supplementary Material for Organists', published 2004 under ISBN 9781579992064 and ISBN 1579992064.
