Introduction
🎹 Welcome to The Healthy Piano Virtuoso
This space is for pianists, teachers, and movement thinkers ready to learn how the body works best—developing virtuoso technique in a safe, sustainable way.
Whether you're recovering from injury, navigating focal dystonia, or simply seeking a more ergonomic approach to piano playing, this is a space for structured care, supportive community, and musical growth.
Through my own journey—including a full recovery from focal dystonia—I’ve developed protocols for injury prevention, mindset shifts, and Taubman-informed technique. I believe virtuosity isn’t forced—it’s cultivated through an embodied understanding of efficient movement.
Here, we refuse performance traps—the habits and pressures that distort healthy technique:
- Over-practicing for perfection instead of clarity
- Tension masked as intensity
- Prioritizing speed or volume over fluency
- Performing for approval rather than authorship
- Ignoring pain or fatigue to meet external expectations
You’ll find resources, discussions, and support for:
- Nervous system-informed piano technique
- Movement strategies that support dynamic weight transfer and leverage
- New protocols for focal dystonia recovery
- Teaching strategies from someone who has lived through the immense challenge of recovery
- Ergonomic approaches for pianists at all levels seeking fluency without fatigue
You’ll also find a bit of fun: community spotlights, shared breakthroughs, and a few gamified surprises to keep things lively. Whether you post weekly or just observe quietly, your presence matters.
