Piano Yoga: A New Method For Learning The Piano Using Yoga Principles & Improvisation Techniques

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- A new method for learning how to play the piano through yoga principles and improvisation techniques is on the scene! Inventor Sonny Stancarone has created a unique method that can teach anyone to sit down and instantly start making beautiful music.

People don’t have to spend years studying time signatures and learning how to read, they can just immediately start playing piano in a fun, intuitive, relaxed way through using breathing and relaxation techniques Sonny has developed.

Sonny has created a website called http://www.PianoYogaTV.com, which features free videos that discuss the healing and therapeutic benefits playing piano can bring about and how to play the piano using this approach. Sonny developed “Piano Yoga” from years of experience studying, playing and teaching the piano. He also credits the years he spent teaching yoga, and stress management to athletes, coaches, teachers, students, corporate and government employees.

“Using Piano Yoga you can connect to your musician within and start playing songs, improvising and creating your own music,” explains Sonny. “Everyone can play the piano as it’s fun, easy to do, healing, and therapeutic. As soon as you stop worrying about playing perfectly and focus on breathing, relaxing, getting into the flow, the music will come streaming out of you.”

Based on Long Island, Sonny also buys and sells Steinways and other pre-owned pianos worldwide through his other cutting edge website http://www.SonnysPianoTV.com; an all video interactive piano content TV channel devoted to piano appreciation, information and entertainment. As a result he has attracted a large, growing fan base. In addition, Sonny has created a DVD called “Piano Yoga: Playing Piano Instantly For Health & Well Being” He also produces and hosts a regular cable TV Show through which people can learn his method.
