This institute kicks off with a comprehensive introduction to Pianimals, Alan's creation of Feldenkrais lessons for the beginning pianist's hand - essential viewing for anyone interested in using this exciting new teaching tool in their studio. What follows covers a wide range of interests, from a profound exploration of the emotional content Schumann's Symphonic Etudes, to how to use the body with greater precision and sophistication in Bach, Debussy and several song accompaniments, to how to link the left and right brains to improve learning efficiency in the very first steps of exploring a new composition. The sensory explorations of the hands in both the ATMs and ATPMs can offer breakthrough improvements to pianists of any level. In several lessons, rhythm is stressed as the fundamental organizing principle in piano music.
