RUSSIAN TECHNICS FOR
PIANO
OrchiadOrio teaches and broadcasts the Russian technique of piano according to
her own comprehension. Kind of pianist yoga, everything is worked in relaxation,
conscience and sonority led by the weight of the body and the members. Physical
relaxation is favoured in slowness to create a muscular memory of suppleness
which will take the intermediary in the speed and avoid any tension,
inflexibility or suffering. It is one of the support also of techniques
"anti-jitters". It does not need there out of necessity technical exercise
dissociated from the piece; music is approached as a whole there: physical,
emotional, mental.
SONORITY AND MORPHOLOGY.
To
every type of sonority matches a definite touch and an attack which solicit the
body more or less, according to expected result, all or part from the member,
finally entire body.
Based on an observation
of morphology and bedding, this technique conjugates the natural force of the
weight of the body or the members (all the heavier and more solid as it close to
the basin, to feet or to the centre) in the more and more lively agility of ends
(on the basis of the shoulder, then on the elbow, on the wrist finally up to
fingers).
PIANO AND SOUND.
The
noise of mechanics of the piano, more or less present according to slowness or
fastness of attack of the keys of the keyboard is also taken into account in the
elaboration of sound. So an art is developed to cultivate particular tones, able
of recalling the instruments of orchestra, as well as of clean ambiences to
translate certain emotions.
The use of the pedal of
resonance is also an art in full measure. Vibrations of the foot, various
degrees of recess, precision of intervention: game with dampers and the
vibratory inertia of the big ropes of low allows purifying the resonance of the
instrument, to choose the harmonic.
INTROSPECTION.
Job is also
orientated to visualization, the natural and rhythmic breathing in symbiosis
with musical sentence, and the subtle and aware listening of sound across the
space. This approach and this centring naturally eliminate the jitters, they
allow to go to the deeper meeting of one across the piano and to give in music a
more fully, more sensitive and more sensual expression. The job on the human
begins so the quality of the pianist game, and leads to a beneficent and
creative diving in intimate emotions.
A job of deciphering
of partitions, said "at the table", as well as the mental conscientious of
interpretation also makes leave training for concert.
Formed at first by
Simone Perrier in the Russian technique of piano, OrchiadOrio so added her own
knowledge to her research: progression across yoga, relaxation, aware dance,
visualization and programming internal, study of physical laws, coaching, job of
bedding in horse riding, energetic practice...
PERSONIFIED
ADAPTATION TO THE STUDENT.
Its teacher's long
course and the confrontation in problems, physical as well as interpretation,
met by the pianists’ learners or confirmed, conferred on her a high-pitched
sense of adaptation and correctness of advice.
Method is every time
re evaluated according to the student, allowing a correctness of progress
corresponding to needs, to purposes and to tastes.
It can be taken by
the writing of pieces personified for the beginners, aiming at offering in a
given progress. A piece which likes, a maximum investment of energy underlain by
pleasure will so be favoured.
