"body work"

It is paradox that my singing teacher in Milano, Renzo Maselli has given me an important impulse how wholistic body movements really work. With medical thinking I developped an approach to analyse the three dimensional movement by splitting it into three partial levels and to establish a circular movement in every level as a movement atom and basic exercise.

The following little drawing is abstracting the elementary exercises in the three partial levels.
Maybe soon I will be able to show a Video sequence.
But never personal teaching will be "evitable" by any form of documentation!

1) Saggital level "body hydraulic"
important for putting chords or exposed single notes. Through potenciation of all body levers from basin to finger tip maximal power: as well for perfectly controlled pianissimo as for bombastic fortissimo!
			keyboard from aside hoch = top position 0 = zero position
piano bench hoch = top position 0 = zero position

2) Frontal level "swing exercise"
keyboard from the front			swinging movement of two fingers in fixed position, transmitting the arm weight from key to key.

3) Horizontal level "back and forth circulation"
important for connecting two and more hand positions in a fluent movement. The triggering movement is a back and forth movement of the arm.
