"Is it reasonable to expect the master's consummate ease at the piano when the daily routine of practice never glimpses it? One might as well expect perfection in the technique of swimming from daily golf-playing."
Abby Whiteside, The Pianist's Mechanism
Are you stuck
- in a rut with your technique?
- Are you frustrated by slow progress despite practising long hours?
- Are you an Elementary-Advanced player seeking fresh ideas?
Are you envious
of 'gifted' players who perform joyfully and confidently from memory and by ear?
Outside the box
Inspired by Abby Whiteside (1881-1956), Piano Portals is the only practical, accessible approach to technique which:
- turns convention on its head, offering fresh, transformational points of focus for your practice
- spotlights elements of 'gifted' players' techniques that've been long neglected by traditional pedagogy
- empowers Elementary-Advanced players to play fluently and expressively without excess tension and with exquisite control over dynamics, rhythm, balance, phrasing, ornamentation, cantabile and more
