SUMMARY:MTASA Webinar with Melanie Spanswick
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKET\nA presentation focusing on developing firmer fingers alongside a rich sonority\, coupled with a relaxed upper torso.   \nThis presentation will start by focusing on simple five-finger exercises which can be implemented into piano lessons in order to develop firmer fingers coupled with a loose flexible upper torso. These exercises can be utilised when learning repertoire\, and are really easy for students to work at during scale and arpeggio practice\, too. Discussion and demonstration will include the use of arm-weight for the introduction of a rich\, full sonority\, and how to teach it\, as well as the importance of developing a relaxed octave position in order to play octaves and chords more effectively. \n\n\n\nMelanie Spanswick Biography \nMelanie Spanswick (1969 – ) is a British pianist\, author\, teacher\, adjudicator\, and composer.
