Internalize rhythm: on the piano

Are you ready?

 start

This mini subscription consists of 12 exercises with several variations for the use in tuition with beginner piano students. Basically the exercises build on each other. However there are several ropes you can follow to increase requirements. 

You can learn more about the concept of the subscription by studying the structure below. Each exercise has two to three components that help to develop a sense of rhythm stability right from the start. The integration of the whole body in several ways is just as special as the direct connection to the playing technique. 

How to start

  1. Start the mini subscription
  2. Familiarise yourself systematically with the background information with tips, descriptions and a lot more.
  3. Then get to know the individual exercises and find out, how they can enrich your toolbox.

It had annoyed me quite a bit ...

... that almost everyone always got stuck in the same places. Then I started to transfer our ideas from other areas to the piano and designed a basic coordination structure. And voila: "getting stuck" can now be dealt with in many different ways - ideally, it no longer happens.
