The holistic substitute for Hanon

Piano Portals rewrites the rules on technique.

For the thinking pianist with a holistic outlook, Piano Portals offers fresh, transformational priorities for your practice that've been all but neglected by orthodoxy.

  • Do you enjoy yoga, meditation or other mindful practices?
  • Do you seek a mindful approach to your piano playing?
  • Ready to shine an honest light on where you are and move beyond blocks and hurdles?

Transform your playing through deepening self-awareness. Enjoy practice that works with your body and always within a 'connected' state - no more mechanical repetition!

Works on many levels

  • Empowers post-beginner pianists to play fluently and expressively
  • Empowers advanced players to refine technique and eliminate excess tension
  • Learn to be mindful within a Flow state and take responsibility for avoiding - or rehabilitating from - technique-related injury.

Doubles as a mindful practice for mental presence, a fresh philosophy for deep-learning repertoire and as beautiful music to enjoy.

“Piano Portals has given me a new sense of connection to the music I am playing, releasing me from my head
into my body, fingers and senses, so that all of my being is involved.”

Anne, Pianist
