A course for all teachers of piano, FINGERGYM is a technical and creative process designed by Barbara, founded on the necessary principles of physical coordination, discriminating ear-training, strength and creative development of the child. The goal is to help teacher’s refine diagnostic pedagogical ability, strengthen and enhance technical facility and fluency in students, as well as to promote the expressive connection to text that leads to the child’s development of his or her own ‘voice’ in musical performance.

Creativity is the connecting of unusual or opposing elements and ideas

Co-ordination is the linking of opposing mental and physical elements

The Goal is to produce free-flowing mental (creative) and physical (technical) performance abilities in piano students. As ‘Arts Educators’, our purpose is to train artists who are capable of physical athleticism at the instrument and who think creatively, making visceral and cerebral connections to text, possessing strong problem-solving skills.
