Publisher: Berklee Press
Coordinating Breath, Movement, and Sound
Author: Stephany Tiernan

Develop expressive, virtuosic, and healthy piano technique for contemporary and classical styles. Step by step, through integrated written directions and video examples, you will see exactly how to move your fingers, wrists, arms, feet, body, and breath to achieve maximum expressive effect and technical facility.

• Move your fingers, wrists, arm, and body efficiently and effectively
• Coordinate your body posture and breath with each musical phrase
• Match your technique to the demands of the music, such as different approaches to single-line melodies vs. comping chords
• Analyze music
• Practice with a strategy that matches technique to the music's expressive and technical requirements
