Hello everyone,

My final project is “Floor flow and piano performance”. The idea came from Marlo and after her suggestion I started to pay more attention to details of my teaching the piano to my students and started to see a lot of similarities. Just like in floor movements “points of contacts” are very important for piano player. Our music is “breathing” and breathing during performance is important. Just like in our movements, we can slow down or move our speed (tempo). We can stretch our hands and fingers out or keep them “closed”. Being relaxed, especially on shoulder area is very important for piano performer. Our fingers can touch the keys very light and soft, or hard and firm, or deep like “pushing through the dough”…

This project helped me to see the similarities and I am grateful for Marlo’s suggestion.

I hope you will enjoy watching it.
