I spend a lot of time teaching my students to use their instincts while playing the piano. There are several good books on the subject that have changed my musical career. One is called "The Inner Game of Music" by Berry Green and the other is called "Blink" (i forget the authors name). It is so important to relax and let our brains do what they do best. No matter how good we get though, it always seems to be hard to get out of our own way lol in practice or performance.Ryanhttp://www.musicianlauncher.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29735725.post-15409640932932857652011-09-02T02:22:36.761-04:002011-09-02T02:22:36.761-04:00There is a very interesting book written by Thomas...There is a very interesting book written by Thomas Mark, a piano teacher from Oregon, "What every pianist needs to know about the body", where he explains clearly the relationship between the heigh of the bench and the bachache, I strongly recommend the reading of it. <br />Another teacher, Pedro de Alcantara, says on the heigh of the bench that we are ever changing our size, lengthening or widening, depending on physical and psycological facts, and that´s the reason why it seems that we pianist never find the perfect and ever lasting heigh of the bench. <br />Here I will offer the web pages of both teachers, which I think very useful for pianist and musicians. <br /><br />http://www.pianomap.com/<br />http://www.pedrodealcantara.com/<br /><br />Very good blog, I hope you will be soon playing regularly again, so that to be able to read your nice posts.Jorge Baeza Stanicichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151965880707990087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29735725.post-50731382912301497932010-07-14T22:21:43.074-04:002010-07-14T22:21:43.074-04:00Each person is different and so is the reason for ...Each person is different and so is the reason for the hearing loss and the frequency of sounds you hear are different from person to person. <a href="http://www.hearing-aids-merrimac-ma.com/tips-that-will-allow-you-to-make-sure-you-get-the-best-hearing-aid" rel="nofollow">best hearing aid Merrimac MA</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
