Topic: Teaching Paul Wirth's Gravity Based Piano From "The Gravi-DVD" Prepared & Presented by E. McLeod * Concepts:
- Disintegrations --> The relaxed arm --> The wheelbarrow. : Disintegration is to understand the natural arm's weight and the main point of this concept is to isolate the certain arm muscles. Then, the arm can be relaxed as the arm is disengaged with the muscles. After that, he demonstrated the wrist's movement as the wheelbarrow, like lifting up the wheelbarrow. - In order to teach the arm technique, the author (Paul Wirth) uses the metaphors of Pinocchio. * Discussions: - This technique, as primary technique, is very important since it is very useful not only the beginner level and up to professional level. - It can improve students' application of their arm weights in their repertoires through Level 1 to diploma level. (some example pieces were presented). * Application: - The vocabularies and metaphors that he used in the DVD are very useful to make young students understand. - This technique would fix a lot of tensions issues and postures as it develops. - Studying further in this topic and sharing some experiments would be interesting in the future. ** Next meeting will be in January, 2020, we will talk about teaching rhythms.
