đŸŽčS3:E15: How Does Breath Give Shape to Phrases?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of Learn Piano: A Personal Practice, Cynthia explores one of the most subtle and powerful aspects of musical expression: breath.

🌿 From my own Qigong practice to the flowing lines of Debussy, I share how posture, energy, and mindful breath shape every phrase we play. đŸŽč Discover how to sit like a tree (yes, really!) and let your music move like wind in the trees.

✹ Whether you're a beginner or an advanced pianist, this episode will help you reconnect with the living, breathing nature of music—so you can play with more freedom, flow, and feeling.
