For pianists
Did you study hard to play the Chopin-etudes backward in 24 keys and do you still think 'I’m a minor pianist' or are you more tense then you wish? Or would you want to play more expressive without managing to do so? Sometimes, it’s worth trying to put the piano aside for a moment : ) and switch your attention to your body and thoughts.
How do you sit at the piano?
I don’t mean the height of your chair or how far you are from the keys, but the way your body feels and the thoughts you’ve in your head while playing.
Hoe je over jezelf denkt en hoe je je voelt, komt tot uitdrukking in je houding en bewegingen. Dat kan je helpen of tegenwerken. Als je tegen lichamelijke spanning of onzekerheid aanloopt, kun je hier onderzoeken waar je blokkeert en hoe je muzikale energie weer door kan gaan stromen.
Behalve praten over wat er is, doen we daarvoor werkvormen met ademhaling, lichaamshouding en expressieve beweging.
Je lichaam is je instrument!
I work as a bodily-oriented psychotherapist and I studied classical piano here in Utrecht. What I like most of playing is feeling the way my musical energy finds its way through my body. Doing my study Integrated Psychotherapy helped me as a pianist too. I'm looking forward to explore these two expertises together with you!
