SUMMARY:Grant Event - The Mighty Wrist
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Central Oregon\nPresenter: Dr. Stephen Lewis\, NCTM \nProgram Description: This talk is an in-depth look at the wrist motions involved in piano playing (lateral\, up-down\, elliptical\, rotational\, drawer\, and stationary) and how they help various techniques and textures we often teach or play. Dr. Lewis will explore how and why these motions are so crucial to piano playing\, and provide knowledge and flexibility to the teachers present in how to make your own determinations regarding teaching using the wrists. \nPresenter Bio: Dr. Stephen Lewis\, NCTM\, is a pianist\, composer\, conductor\, and music teacher living in Portland\, Oregon.
