Alan conducts a residency in Hamm several times a year, teaching private lessons (piano, instrumental, vocal and Feldenkrais) but no lectures and no group Awareness Through Movement lessons. Those who register for a lesson may observe the other lessons that day for a small additional fee to be paid on site.
Are you hesitant to attend? Feel you are not advanced enough? Not well-enough prepared? Don't worry; Alan welcomes all, no matter what your ability, no matter what the state of your program. The Institute really is open to all interested pianists:
He also welcomes instrumentalists and vocalists, who find that their sound, their agility and their sense of ease and freedom from tension improve dramatically with Alan's Feldenkrais for Performers (Performance Somatics). There is no limit to improvement!
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.
Lessons will be held at a private studio on Knappenstrasse, just a few minutes east of downtown Hamm. You will receive the exact address when you register.
There are several hotels in Hamm, all easily available at Booking.com. We also recommend Airbnb, which has a small selection of affordable rooms in private homes in Hamm. Book early to be sure to get your choice.
Purchase as many lessons as you would like here, with the help of our retail partner, Stripe.com. If you qualify for a student discount, you will receive a 20% refund on this payment.
