Alan Fraser conducts several residencies each year in Geneva, teaching privately at the Conservatoire Populaire de Musique à Genève. Generally there are no group Awareness Through Movement lessons or lectures. Fraser is fluent in both English and French, and uses the participant's native tongue wherever possible.
Fraser works with pianists to improve the ease and fluency with which they can orchestrate their sound, through subtle adjusments both to overall body posture and to hand posture that are recorded in the body's neuromotor representation. He also works with other instrumentalists and vocalists.
Here is Fraser's somewhat complicated April 2025 Swiss residency schedule:
Are you hesitant to take a lesson? Not well-enough prepared? Don't worry; Alan will teach you, no matter what the state of your program. Working on a new piece with Alan can help you avoid the technical errors we sometimes make during the learning process. Thus he really does work with all interested pianists, vocalists and instrumentalists:
There is no limit to improvement!
Alan's Feldenkrais-informed approach to performance helps instrumentalists and vocalists transform their sound by making minute postural adjustments that release hidden physical blocks. If you have a friend or colleague with a specific performance issue, why not invite them to take a lesson.
INSTITUTE LESSON RECORDINGS
All lessons are recorded on video (unless the participant requests otherwise), and are stored in the Institute video library at pianotechniqe.org. There is a small subscription fee for this service, separate from the institute registration fee, but it is well worth it. Every lesson is packed full of information and experience, and it is in the review process that participants often report their greatest progress, their most impressive breakthroughs. Subscribers also have access to tutorial series curated especially for pianotechnique.org, and to their own personal libraries where all their lesson videos are gathered in one convenient place - making the review process even more rewarding. Participants receive instructions by email following the institute for video access to their lessons, ATMs and ATPMs.
In Geneva Alan often teaches in private homes, but sometimes will use a studio at a satellite branch of the Conservatoire Populaire at Chemin des Crêts-de-Champel 40.
