Mastery of Piano Technique for advanced pianists - Vol III

About Mastery of Piano Technique for advanced pianists - Vol III

'Mastery of Piano Technique' comprises four volumes with 18+ hours of illustrated videos and 35+ hours of open lessons with fellow pianists. It is a comprehensive guide for professional pianists, focusing on mental practice, inner singing, efficient hand motion, and confident stage performance. When you enroll in the course, you'll have the chance to join weekly Zoom group meetings where each student has the opportunity to ask questions about their current topic of study and receive help and guidance with the exercises they've completed. For more information, visit the Retraining-Pianist website.

This program is designed for advanced pianists pursuing their Bachelor's, Master's, or D.M.A. degrees in Piano Performance. Strong sight-reading and singing skills are required. Authored by Emma Leiuman, a classical pianist with extensive training and performance experience, including being a prize winner in international competitions. She's the creator of The PianoWell system, a teaching method for advanced pianists.

The playlist Mastery of Piano Technique playlist available for free on YouTube provides previews of the videos from the course, offering additional insight into the content.

In VOL III, you'll advance familiar concepts of mental practice, explore music phrasing and expression, and conquer stage fright for confident performances. It's recommended to study VOL I and II first to better understand concepts discussed in VOL III.

The PDF includes linked videos and materials, and an interactive online version with weekly updates is available.

I recommend avoiding previous repertoire during this course to prevent confusion in memory while learning new skills. Ideal study time is during a gap year, dedicating 4 hours/day solely to practicing.

Each program topic involves 3 steps, taking about a week to complete:

- Review topic and watch relevant video: 1 hour

- Watch an open lesson video: 1 hour

- Practice following a practice video: 2-4 hours

By following this plan, the retraining program can be completed within 6 months (1.5 months per volume).
