Canadian
pianist Alan Fraser has created a new approach to piano technique that
accesses the innate structure and function of the human hand to replace
tension and over-relaxation with effective hand activation. His
book and DVD, The Craft of Piano Playing, presents this new approach
in detail, with an extensive series of exercise to align one's skeleton,
enrich one's sound, increase virtuosity, and eliminate the danger of injury
before it ever arises.

PianoNews magazine, Germany promises all viewers “a huge improvement in your
piano sound,” and La Lettre du Musicien of France says “this fascinating
DVD is a ‘must have’ for any pianist wanting to master their piano technique.”
Fraser’s exercises synthesize the best aspects of the finger action and
arm weight schools, allowing pianists to ‘tread the fine line’ between
tension and over-relaxation. Each physical advancement is linked to a corresponding
improvement in musicianship, creating what PianoNews calls “an absolutely
natural way of moving at the piano, both powerful and flexible.”
