I teach piano technique that incorporates armweight technique and finger velocity and is based on "Weight-grading", "Key-bedding", "Grouping," and "Balancing Fingers."
My students typically achieve remarkably quick and solid results.
In contrast to Old Weight School, current arm-weight method is progressively becoming the standard when playing the piano.
The impact of arm weight on playing is quicker, more significant, and more effective when using the latest procedures and concepts.
The organisation of your technique and elementary piano skills, such as scales and octaves, is essential in modern professional piano playing.
As a result, one can play with confidence and ease while focusing solely on sound, expressiveness and communication during even the most complex and challenging passagework.
