Playing with awareness and sensitivity are key to making beautiful music on the piano. Pianists who know how to connect to the sound vibrations as they play understand what is often jokingly referred to as “becoming one with your instrument.” But don’t laugh! This is a great way to enhance learning, memory, concentration, and most importantly playing enjoyment.

From birth our sense of touch is our most important means of learning. As babies grow their senses develop to include balance, visual and spatial awareness, and finally the concept of time. In the Arts all of these elements are brought together to imitate, confirm, and convey human experience. To play piano more artistically, allow yourself to be vulnerable to the vibrations of each key as it is played. This just makes sense, because it increases sensory input to the brain.

The more completely we are occupied in the moment as we are playing, the less possibility there is for distraction. Learning improves as memory and concentration improve. To get in touch with yourself – and connect to the piano – learn to relax!! In this way you’ll be able to feel the very subtle vibrations of the piano as you are playing, and respond to the music in a way that is genuine and unique for you. So go ahead. Develop your own style and Feel the Good Vibrations!
