The Pianimals Introductory Seminars


Alan Fraser runs several Piano Somatics Online Institutes. One of these is based on Pianimals, his new piano method based on the Feldenkrais Method. This institute runs for 8 weeks with each Saturday session based on one of the eight sections of Pianimals, sections which follow a developmental line. Many teachers find that in preparing themselves to use Pianimals with their pupils, they are giving themselves a "pianistic makeover" at the same time.


The next Pianimals institute begins mid-January, 2022, and there will be several FREE INTRODUCTORY SESSIONS offering you a chance to familiarize yourself with this new approach to piano development. This intro session can also give you a sense of what takes place at a classic Piano Somatics Institute, so why not attend - you may even get picked for a free mini-demo piano lesson! Please click on the link to sign up by email for your free attendance at an intro sesssion - on

Tell us which intro session you wish to attend, and you will receive information about the time and the Zoom link by email several days before the event. The sessions are open to both Europeans and North Americans, starting at 6 p.m. European time which is 12 noon EST. The sessions will be recorded so that those in Australasia can also watch.
