Artistic Piano Tuning

“It has been well said that amateurs practice until they get something right, but professionals practice until they can’t get it wrong.”  Dr John Meffen Improve Your Piano Playing Allworth Press www.allworth.com  2007

This DVD is really great!  I highly recomend it. 

A Pianist's Guide
Taught By: Daniel Abrams

Practice for results and perform with confidence! World-renowned concert pianist and composer Daniel Abrams shows players of all levels and styles how to get maximum results from minimum time spent at the keyboard.

Relaxation, inspiration, breathing, focus, attitude and interpretation are covered, as well as more traditional topics like phrasing, scales, wrist action, pedaling and understanding chords. You'll learn what to do when mistakes are made and how to isolate, practice and master difficult passages. Players will become more expressive, see dramatic improvement in their playing and learn to enjoy time spent at the keyboard.

Magazine Review:

"As a pep talk for burned-out students, and as food for thought for more advanced players, "Practicing & Performing" is worth checking out." - Keyboard Magazine

You can use this page for anything you like, but we recommend focusing on one or two related topics to avoid confusing your readers. Remember that you can always add more pages if you need them.

 I have not yet purchased other DVD's by Daniel but I plan on doing so.  They all look very good.  Here is the link:
