Expressive Playing & Injury Prevention

Join internationally respected pedagogue Dr Rae de Lisle for a practical and inspiring one-hour workshop exploring the technical foundations of expressive piano playing. Drawing on insights from her acclaimed Fit 4 Piano approach, Rae will demonstrate how tone production and musicality are deeply connected to coordinated, tension-free movement, providing solutions that apply to pianists and instrumentalists at all levels.

The session will include Safe Practice: Strategies for Optimal Performance and Injury Prevention, where Dr De Lisle will address the physical demands of advanced playing. Using principles of ergonomics and body alignment, she will outline how to develop efficient technique and healthy practice routines. She will also discuss injury prevention and management, including how holistic approaches can support long-term performance wellbeing.

This workshop is ideal for music teachers, senior students, and motivated parents interested in supporting safe, expressive, and effective practice.
