In The Craft of Piano Playing, master pianist Alan Fraser offers
readers an original and comprehensive approach to piano technique,
offering over 100 illustrations and a series of unique exercises to
guide the reader. Drawing on his many years as a performer and
teacher, his long-standing collaborations with pedagogue Phil Cohen
and virtuoso Kemal Gekich, and his professional training in the
Feldenkrais Method, Fraser introduces his truly innovative piano
technique by * Teaching how to move your hands with greater
sensitivity, power, and accuracy, and honing the skeletal
alignments to help you access your innate, structural potency; *
Linking your physical technique to musical expression, creating an
"absolutely natural way of moving at the piano that is powerful,
flexible, and musical" (Piano News, Germany); and * Keeping your
hands healthy while avoiding the threats of tendonitis, carpal
tunnel syndrome, focal dystonia, and RSI. This revised second
edition joins the DVD of the same name, his study guide, and his
latest book, Honing the Pianistic Self-Image, in Alan Fraser's
growing line of piano pedagogical materials. This edition includes
new chapters, such as "Arm Rhythm" and "The Body's Support of
Natural Finger Shape," updated material reflecting evolutions in
Fraser's technical and pedagogical thinking, a "cleaner and leaner"
literary style, and more extensive, better-organized tables of
contents, with cross-references to corresponding chapters in the
DVD. For more information please visit
