additional material is great, but please try to compress or convert these videos...! Your server just doesn't seem fit to handle these mega-downloads

Yes, I like it very much. I just realise that by that exercise that I was always stiffening my wrist when playing(an inefficient attempt to aid the fingers in each finger stroke). So even that simple exercise is not entirely trivial for me. A nice discovery which hopefully will improve my playing. For me, I don't mind waiting for several hours for a better quality video. Yes, it does take hours even though my internet connection is much faster. But I can leave the computer there overnight. Afterall, I won't be disgesting many such lessons in one day. Just my thoughts, anyway.

I also think it's better to wait longer for more better quality video, but if any of you can not want that long , i can compress those videos. There will be more of them. You remember we had problems to uplaod demo on remote servers, so we decided to put it on computer which is connected to internet 24/7. Thats why it goes so slow i guess.

I hope you put some more videos for all of us. Best regards It would also be very helpful, if there are videos not only showing a hand and (part of the) arm, but showing the whole human being. If there ever was someone who was fixated on the "manual work" in piano-playing, it was me.. believe me! But luckily I broadened my "view".. in more than one way.

I couldn't agree more, and in my own work am integrating more and more the sense of the pelvis informing the hand, the sense of the whole body. Interesting that my sensing in a more complete way body/skeleton leads to a better use of body/muscles which is really activated by body/brain, and all this creates in me a new sense of body/Self. This really starts to happen when I give Self a good job to do, that is, when I really take a look at the musical content and make sure this or that aspect of it is truly expressed in sound... AFF
