This dynamic session introduces ProformaVision, a new software program that simultaneously layers and analyzes two camera HD videography with surface electromyography (sEMG) and midi data. This state-of-the-art technology works in conjunction with Yamaha Disklavier™ pianos, Clavinovas and the AvantGrand. For the first time
we can look at performers “under a microscope.” Body alignment, muscle tension and MIDI measures provide the basis for a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of each piano performance.
Kathleen Riley will help you understand why certain body alignment and hand and finger positions are more optimal for students, offer improved practice techniques, and advice on playing painlessly and stress free.
You will build an awareness of how to help students use their bodies more efficiently, creating greater endurance and ease in musical performance.
