From the
participants' anonymous evaluations of The Well-Balanced Pianist 2013
programs
"The program exceeded my
expectations. The knowledge is applicable and life-changing."
"The program met my
expectations - scale coordination was key - but better than expected was
the group spirit, the welcoming attitude, the new friendships, the perfectly
delightful people of all ages (18-60+)!"
"I honestly wasn't sure what
to expect from a short program, but was surprised by how productive I
felt."
"The program helped me gain
perspective on the way my whole body and mindset converge to determine how I
play."
"Information in this program
helps give me a healthy mindset, relationship with the piano, and the tools
needed for an optimal existence."
"The weekend gave me
excellent exposure to som nw ideas, specific techniques, and interesting
people."
"I expect to continue
learning new things about playing and teaching the piano when I come to WBP -
but I am leaving with more than I expected!"
"Private lessons were
wonderful! Always an extremely important component."
"Lessons were great as
always, and it was great to sit in on other lessons."
"Lessons were amazing, gave
me precise info as always."
"Lessons were a good length
for focusing on an issue or two; also it was immensely helpful to observe other
lessons."
"I'm glad we discuss mindset
together - the perspctive is very valuable."
"Sharon [Feldenkrais]
is absolutely fantastic! I LOVED having a private session with Sharon scheduled
in the weekend."
"Alexander class and lessons
[Ariel Weiss] were AMAZING!"
"Feldenkrais classes and
private sessions were FANTASTIC (Sharon is one in a million!)"
"Alexander class and lessons
were incredible. In my short lesson I became more aware of my body and am
interested in doing more."
"My private Feldenkrais
sessison with Sharon was heavenly! really helped me identify things to
uninhibit movement and playing."
"Ariel is amazing! I love
'the Unified Field of Attention!'"
""Scale clinic was very
informative and gave me tools to really hone in on technical
details."
""O Passo [Tom
Mullaney] was such an interesting and intuitive approach to learning rhythm.
I want to learn more!"
"It was so refreshing to
hear the experineces of other pianists that were similar to mine. Having come
from a college program where I didn't really feel like I learned how to play
better, I finally feel like I'm learning the tools needed to approach music in
a pianist and musical way."
"I love the walks. It's a
great time to connect with others in an informal way. It feels important to
move around and re-energize as well."
