Piano student studies with Louis Yungling

I have been taking piano lessons online with Louis for over a year, and my piano playing has transformed dramatically. Not only has my technique improved a lot, but my level of comfort in playing in front of people has too. More generally, my self confidence as a pianist has grown a lot stronger.

Playing the piano well takes concentrated effort and requires physical freedom and mental clarity. Making music this way can fill us with the joy and enthusiasm that made us want to learn how to play the piano. This joy inspires and uplifts our audiences, too.

How can you accomplish this?

Here are a few main areas we will explore and develop together.

Body

Identify and remove unwanted tension to express music more naturally and freely.

Mind

Reduce anxiety and increase focus with contemplation exercises.

Awareness

Connect deeply and respond to sound spontaneously with awareness techniques.

Heart

Center and ground yourself to go beyond self-consciouness and appreciate your unique gifts.

So what's my story?

I had a fairly typical music education and studied with some wonderful pianists in college, but a few years into my career I noticed something was missing from my playing.

I was struggling with soreness and pain during practice, was unhappy with my sound, and performing had become a constant battle with anxiety.

The joy of making music that filled my youth seemed like a distant memory. And I was frustrated wondering how it had become like this.

That's when I sought out a teacher who specializes in movement and mindfulness techniques. She helped me completely redesign my physical and mental approach to making music.

Learning how to identify the physical habits that were causing me pain helped me heal and play with greater ease. With the increased comfort, I began producing a richer, more expressive sound . . . I was falling in love with practicing again!

Healing my body and reconnected to the joy that inspired me to become a musician, I made up my mind to spend my life helping pianists find the freedoms I know are possible.
