💥 Introducing Monthly Themes 💥
Starting this month, we’ll be exploring a new monthly theme inside this community! Each theme will take us deeper into one key area of healthy, free, and confident piano playing. Every week, I’ll be adding new lessons, reflections, and practical materials around that theme. You’ll be able to discuss and share your experiences with others as you experiment and integrate what you learn. At the end of each month, we’ll gather for a live Q&A session, where I’ll answer your questions directly and help you apply the ideas in your own playing or teaching. This will be your chance to bring together what you’ve explored throughout the month and get clarity on anything that still feels uncertain. This structure is designed to keep your growth focused, connected, and consistent. One clear theme at a time. One layer of freedom after another. Here’s a look at what’s coming up: November: Discovering Effortless Piano Posture December: Understanding Natural Hand Position and Arm Weight January: Life-Changing Alexander Technique Principles Applied to Piano February: No More Pain: 5 Common Piano Mistakes That Lead to Injuries and How to Correct Them March: Bullet-Proof Performance Preparation Routine April: Releasing Deep Performance Blocks with EFT Tapping Each theme builds on the last, helping you develop not only a more natural technique, but also a calmer, more confident relationship with your instrument. The first video for this month will be added to the classroom soon! I can’t wait to begin! (Themes may evolve or change as we go, depending on what feels most valuable for the group.)

November Theme: Discovering Effortless Piano Posture
This month, we’re diving into something foundational, and often misunderstood. Posture. Not the kind that makes you look “correct” at the piano, but the kind that makes you feel free. The kind that lets your hands move easily, your breath flow naturally, and your sound expand. We’ll explore what effortless posture really means, beyond “sit up straight,” and how your whole body can support your playing without strain or stiffness. You’ll start to sense how posture isn’t a position to hold, but a living relationship with gravity, movement, and music itself. Whether you’ve struggled with tension, fatigue, or simply never felt fully comfortable at the piano, this month will help you rediscover what ease actually feels like. Each week, I’ll add new material in the classroom connected to this theme, with gentle prompts to help you reflect and notice your own experience. The first video will appear in the classroom on Tuesday! Stay tuned and get ready to experience a new level of freedom at the keys.
