The Magic of Sound Colouring Technique

ABOUT THIS MASTERCLASS: 

When we listen to old masters (Gould, Rubinshteiun, Horowitz, Arraw to name just a few) we usually can easily recognise their style mainly due to their sound. With the times of technology and digital piano, it is becoming more difficult to establish the difference based on sound (it is mainly due to the artucylation and interprertation). However until the acoustic high quality pianos exist, there still will be the opportunity for developing and demonstrating the different sound colouring technique.

Sound is also something that affects the listener initially before the mood or the concept of the piece, hence it is vital for the beautiful performance. It is well-known fact that the sound can also heal, therefore here GéNIA will teach participants how to be flamboyant and expressive in their sound coloriiung palletter on the piano.

ABOUT THE SERIES

This course of masterclasses aims to create practical tools for musicians which they will be able to apply to their playing straight away. This, in turn, will not only help to improve rapidly, but most importantly, increase their joy of playing the piano. Professional musicians can also benefit from it, as the masterclasses offer many tools for utilising one’s time and resources. Teachers are the most welcome to join so they can offer these practices in their teaching.

Piano-Yoga® masterclasses offer a non-traditional approach to piano technique, based on holistic disciplines, which GéNIA obtained during her training as a yoga teacher at the Life Center, London. Whilst becoming a qualified BWY (British Wheel of Yoga) teacher. She also has a strong interest in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), pilates, meditation and mindfulness techniques.
