SUMMARY:Piano Somatics Institute with Alan Fraser
DESCRIPTION:New England’s first post-pandemic Piano Somatics Institute returns to Concord this year on June 20 – 22\, with two special free introductory events on Friday\, June 20 in the Recital Hall. This is the perfect opportunity to discover how Alan Fraser and Piano Somatics can help improve your piano playing – even create a breakthrough! \nFREE INTRODUCTORY LECTURE FOR YOUNG PIANISTS – FRIDAY\, 4 PM \nIn the first introductory seminar\, Alan will introduce young pianists to Pianimals\, the first ever piano method based on the Feldenkrais Method. The children will be taken through a series of exercises to improve how the hand stands\, walks\, runs and jumps on key\, and a couple of mini-demo lessons given to volunteers from the audience will show how it works in practice. This is a free event open to all interested pianists and their families and friends. \nFREE INTRODUCTORY LECTURE FOR TEENS AND ADULTS – FRIDAY\, 5 PM \nThe second hour is dedicated to older CCMS students and staff (teens and adults)\, with exercises taken not only from Pianimals but from Fraser’s other books on piano technique. Again\, audience members will be taken through a series of movements for the hand\, and then shown in a couple of small demo lessons how these strategies can quickly transform one’s ability and sound at the keyboard. This is also a free event open to all interested pianists\, their families and friends. \n  \nINSTITUTE REGISTRATION \nIf you know you want to attend the institute\, you can register on Alan Fraser’s website here. If you are not sure\, you will have a chance to register at the conclusion of the free events Friday afternoon (space permitting). \nOPEN TO ALL INTERESTED PIANISTS \nThe Institute is open to all interested pianists: \n\nstudents who wish to improve their sound and agility\namateurs who wish to feel more in command of the instrument\nteachers who want new ways of teaching technique to their students\nprofessionals who wish to hone their skills to the highest possible level.\n\nThere is no limit to improvement! \nSPECIAL DISCOUNTS: CCMS STUDENTS AND STAFF \nCCMS students and staff are welcome to audit the institute at no charge\, and receive a generous discount for active participation. \nABOUT ALAN FRASER \nCanadian pianist Alan Fraser gives master classes and recitals worldwide and conducts ongoing research and refinement on the ideas put forth in his three books\, The Craft of Piano Playing (also in DVD)\, Honing the Pianistic Self-Image\, and All Thumbs: Well-Coordinated Piano Technique.
