Spain Residency: Madrid Nov 12-16
Alan will be in residency for four days in Madrid the second week of November. No lectures or ATM lessons will be given, but individual lessons will be available in piano, voice, instrumental and Feldenkrais Functional Integration. The location of these lessons will be either a studio or private home depending on availability.
Open to All Interested Pianists
Many relatively inexperienced pianists hesitate to attend an institute, feeling they are not good enough or not well-enough prepared. However, we are here to learn. Alan's approach can help all of us, no matter what our ability, no matter what the state of our program. The Institute really is open to all interested pianists:
professionals who wish to hone their skills to the highest possible level
teachers who seek new tools for work with their students
students who wish to improve their sound, agility and musicianship
amateurs who wish to feel more in command of the instrument.
Acquiring the Piano Somatics skill set allows pianists to play with more agility, more power, more sensitivity, and more expressivity - with a deeper, more rewarding artistry. Don't miss this rare opportunity to study with Alan in Spain. And Alan's Feldenkrais-informed approach to performance also 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, invite them to come along - they'll be glad they did.
