About this ebook

Techniques on how to gain greater fluidity of movement while playing to improve the quality of the experience are offered in this manual for serious piano players. This book encourages musicians to develop a broader understanding of the involvement of the entire body in playing--and the strains playing places on the body--by focusing on body mapping to increase awareness of the body's function, size, and structure. Ways in which piano, organ, harpsichord, clavichord, and digital keyboard players can eliminate or prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and other debilitating conditions without traditional medical treatments are also explored.

A book like this without the illustrations is all but useless. How can you even have the idea of publishing this version without the illustrations? Borderline fraudulent. Thankfully I saw the review mentioning this just after I bought the book and my request for a refund was approved.
