Some of the topics covered are variable arm/hand positions\, finger placement\, back and forward movements versus vertical up and down motions\, independence of fingers (old school) versus forearm rotation (new school)\, and helpful exercises. Dr. Case-Stott will explain how a pianist should play on different parts of the fingers\, depending on the musical passage.

Stress-free octaves will be demonstrated with a novel technique and progressive exercises.[/expand]
