"Creative Health for Pianists is a practical method for musicians of all abilities. It proposes a new way of thinking about the piano, emphasizing your frame of mind and your innate capacity to respond creatively to a musical and technical stimulus. Short musical snippets that encapsulate one or more aspects of piano playing are thoroughly presented and explained, then developed through tweaks, variations, and compositions of ever increasing complexity. Musical materials are designed to give you space and time to think about how you want to play the piano. Sound, vibration, touch, and phrasing can then become integrated into a healthy totality.

The method is supported by a dedicated website with 48 pedagogical clips. All materials are original, and presented here for the first time"--
