Intuitive Piano Playing/Coaching
25
I've been playing the piano since I was in middle school. I was trained for a few years but gave it up during high school because I thought I was too busy for it. I have since picked it up again and enjoy playing pieces that just use my ear, waiting for sounds to emerge that entice me. If you want to see what that looks like, I'm willing to let you in. Its normally something I would only do for very very close friends because its quite personal to me.
With that being said, with this service I will play you a song on my piano just using my intuition and sense of hearing. Alternatively, I can play one of a number of songs I wrote from past portions of sessions like these. I originally started doing this to release an expression of my identity that needed a creative musical outlet and occasionally songs and world and moods would come out and I would attempt to capture them.
An interesting experience and experiment at the very least. Probably takes about 10-20 mins of your time, could go on much longer. Alternatively, rather than myself playing, I can give you tips and coaching on how to access your emotions through playing the piano via close listening and an open embrace of the experience rather than the product. I find it highly therapeutic to say the least, an emotional release.
Training & Qualifications
I have been using this style of playing for a number of years now and I think I'm at the point where I'm willing to share it with others. With that being said, I'm not a professional piano or jazz musician. I just really enjoy finding myself in the sounds of the piano.
I'm interested in experiences produced in sound not only in my personal life but through my PhD research (Asian Religions) as well which dips into soundscapes and ethnomusicology from time to time. Sound is very powerful and I still have much to learn about it.
Availability & Preferences
Flexible schedule though this service will be unavailable when I travel, like from June 15th 2017 to August 30th 2017.
