The physical side of the art of playing piano is extraordinarily interesting for us, however the general population don't have any idea of the behind the scenes work that goes into playing repertoire.
Maria à été mon professeur pendant mon adolescence . C'est une pédagogue hors- pair ! La pédagogie c'est aussi un don, et elle a ce don. Les partitions deviennent complètement lisibles avec elle. Maria connait vraiment très bien la "mécanique" de la main et l’engagement du corps dans le jeu pianistique . Tout devient facile avec elle !!
Je suis content pour vous 😁 !!! Hélas dans les conservatoires italiens on ne trouve presque plus de vrais enseignants 😪 et l'on finit par se démotiver !!!!

Anirvan Ray to Maria Saboya You are a marvelous teacher. My respect for you. Please upload more videos so that people like me who far away and are unable to be directly under your guidance can be inspired by seeing you through videos. Thank you.
Piano playing combines three major "techniques" -- centering, rebounding, and weight coordination. Centering asks for a great freedom of the hands, wrists and arms so as to move sideways and up and down very quickly and freely; Rebounding is a constant impulsion that moves the hands instantly all the time, and promotes immediate relaxation of hands and fingers at every second. Fingers should rest on the keys as long as they are not playing, just as the hammers do when they are not playing, they rest on the chords without moving. Weight coordination is a major capacity linked with energy, phrasing and meaning.
I have wanted my whole life to study from someone like you Mme.Saboya, a true master. I pray to God I will get the chance, Thank you so much for sharing your skill, knowledge and love of music...you have indeed made our wold a much more beautiful place. -Jon
Love this. Love that you have smaller hands like myself, I just happened upon this and you have given me confidence that I have better technique than I thought!
Aaron Petit il y a 2 ans Many people have great tone today, but no one has a magical tone unless you go back 50+ years... But you.... this was perfect! I have never heard playing this amazing, from a living artist. Wow.
Entre les minutes 3,17 et 3,43 je propose au jeune pianiste de réaliser 'un mouvement en deux temps, qui consiste à articuler le doigt en extension e à frapper la touche tout de suite. Le doigt n'est pas arrondi et la main ne doit pas rester rigide ni immobile. Le premier but de cet exercice est d'améliorer la flexibilité des tendons. Le deuxième but de cet exercice est d'apprendre aux doigts à frapper la touche et à se détendre immédiatement. .Pendant ce geste qui se rapproche d'un simple "tambourinage" des doigts, la main et les bras se maintiennent assez détendus et le geste est très souple.
You are a marvelous teacher. My respect for you. Please upload more videos so that people like me who far away and are unable to be directly be under your guidance can be inspired by seeing you through videos. Thankyou.
LA TECHNIQUE DU REBOND EST INDISPENSABLE AU JEU PIANISTIQUE A TOUS LES NIVEAUX. ELLE PERMET D'ALLEGER, DE DETENDRE, D'AMMELIORER LA VITESSE, D'ASSURER UNE GRANDE ECONOMIE DE L'EFFORT. ELLE INSTAURE LA COORDINATION DANS TOUS LES GESTES ET DONNE AU PIANISTE UNE IMMENSE LIBERTE. THE REBOUND TECHNIQUE IS ESSENTIAL IN PIANO PLAYING AT ALL LEVELS. IT HELPS TO RELAX, INCREASES THE SPEED, ASSURES THE COORDINATION IN EVERY ACTION, AND GIVES TO THE PIANIST A GREAT FREEDOM.

Hi Maria, thank you for your passion and dedication, I'd like to ask you if the technical principles that you teach refer in some way to the Russian school and/or to the principles expressed, for example, by Gyorgy Sandor in his book "On Piano Playing : Motion, Sound and Expression ",
You can say that the technical principles that I teach have some aspects of both, but they are also the expression of my own research and experiences in contact with great musicians and pedagogues.
You are very talented and have a spontaneous and natural technique, Aaron. I'd also be happy to collaborate for the full blooming of your musical personality. With my warmest wishes. Maria Saboya
Has Maria talked about the importance of the subscapular muscle (sour-scapulaire en francais) for the upper extremity? And the pisiform bone and it's causation of 5th finger flexor digitorum profundis?

Want to be able to play my own compositions/songs as a song writer. Hear the music in my head but can't seem to get it to my fingers. Somewhat pick out notes and tunes by ear. Saw your video and thought maybe I need to learn exercises and technique BEFORE developing bad habits. I live near Seattle, Washington in USA. Any instructors in my area teaching your technique? Thank you

Mme. Saboya, Votre grande expérience de l’enseignement du piano dans le monde entier synthétisée dans un ouvrage viendrait assurément combler un grand vide. Les violonistes ont la chance d’avoir « le violon intérieur » de Dominique HOPPENOT, je souhaite de tout cœur que les pianistes puissent bientôt trouver leur « piano intérieur » en ayant entre leurs mains votre livre. Je serai en tous cas un de vos premiers lecteurs et ne manquerai pas de le conseiller chaleureusement à tous mes élèves et mes connaissances pianistique. J’espère maintenant que les circonstances me permettront de revenir vous voir rapidement afin de vous montrer mes progrès depuis l’an dernier et avoir le plaisir de travailler une fois de plus avec vous. Dans cette attente, je vous adresse tous mes vœux de santé, de musique et de réussite dans tous vos projets ! Amitiés Pascal MEURGÉ Professeur de piano et d’accordéon en Auvergne
DEAR ALEX, in the particular case of that student, that exercice was necessary because he had started to learn piano very late. His tendons were too tight so that he did not have real freedom of his finger movements. In doing that exercice he would improve the flexibility of his tendons and liberate his fingers.

Dimitris Petrovas Diplom-Klavierlehrer degree from the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main Iraklio Attikis, Anafis 16, Athens, Greece. To the Music Publisher I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation about the book "Piano Cantabile: Pédagogie pour un Piano qui Chante", written by the pianist Maria Saboya. As a pianist and piano teacher, I had the opportunity to take lessons from her and observe her ideas and methods regarding the technical and musical aspects of piano playing. Her knowledge, abilities and skills are extraordinary and she helped me a lot to broaden significantly my knowledge on technical and musical matters. Her pedagogical method is unique and incomparable to any other method that i am aware of, making this book a must have for any piano student and teacher who wants to master the genuine way of piano playing. Therefore, I give my highest recommendation. Athens, Greece, 12.2.2018
@Jay Agari While you wait, you may read my introductory article that will help you to understand the "best" piano technique according to my students an followers. It was published in clavier_companion_20170102.pdf…(You can contact Clavier Companion on internet and ask them for this article)
@Jay Agari It is my fault, because I had not finished to write it. But finaly I did it and the Delatour Editions are going to publish it in France soon.
POUR REPONDRE AUX NOUVELLES DEMANDES, A PARTIR DE JANVIER 2019 MARIA SABOYA REORGANISE UN COURS LE SAMEDI APRES-MIDI A PARIS. BEGINNING ON JANUARY 2019, MARIA SABOYA REOPENS HER PIANO CLASS OF SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN PARIS. .
LES COURS DE TECHNIQUE PIANISTIQUE AVEC MARIA SABOYA COMMENCENT LE SAMEDI 13 OCTOBRE 2018. THE PIANO TECHNIQUE CLASSES WITH MARIA SABOYA WILL BEGIN ON OCTOBER 13TH 2018. INFORMATION PAR MAIL - saboya.mariasaboya@gmail.com
The music itself creates the technique needed to implement it. Technique is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Watch McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock....
THAT IS ABSOLUTELLY CORRECT. BUT WHEN A BODY HAS NOT THE CAPACITY TO ADAPT TO THE INSTRUMENT THE PIANIST CANNOT BE FAITHFUL TO THE DEEP REALITY OF A PIECE OF MUSIC. THE BODY OF A PIANIST MUST BE FREE AND PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO THE INSTRUMENT. THEN HE CAN PLAY REAL MUSIC. ALL WE DO IN MY SCHOOL IS TO FREE THE STUDENT BODY SO THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO FREELY EXPRESS THE MUSIC. YOU CITE PIANISTS WHO HAVE AN EXCELLENT COORDINATION ON THE PIANO. THIS QUALITY DOES NOT COME TO LIFE WITHOUT A LONG PREPARATION OF THE FIRST INSTRUMENT WHICH IS THE BODY ITSELF. IN MY SCHOOL, "TECHNIQUE" MEANS "WAYS TO LIBERATE THE BODY" TO ALLOW THE PIANIST TO CONQUER HIS INSTRUMENT AND THEN PLAY WITH ALL HIS PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL CAPACITIES.
“You don’t learn any kind of shit like that naturally. That’s something somebody teaches you, like when you teach someone how to play an instrument correctly. After you’ve learned how to play your instrument the right way, you can turn around and play it the way you want to, anyway you hear the music and sound and want to play it. But you gotta first learn how to be cool and let whatever happens happen.” Miles Davis (from his Autobiography) I think there is a lot of value in learning technique, and in practicing technique by itself (isolated from music content). The thing, is that, like other subjects as nutrition and economics, as important and useful as it is to TRY understanding it (technique), it's incredibly complex, there is no easy and exact answer for these things. So, there are various approaches for piano technique, like there various approaches to nutrition and how to deal with your body. You have to learn as much as you can and think for yourself. But don't think that technique is ”embedded” in the music, you will miss so much incredible knowledge, so many “eureka” moments that you get when you think about technique seriously. I like to read a lot about technique from various sources and collect all kinds of technique exercises in a workbook, then at the end my body will learn to do things in various ways, and finally combine all the knowledge into efficient playing. I like to practice all ways possible, instead of a single way.
DO AS YOU WISH MY DEAR JUAN ! YOU ARE FREE, FREE, FREE ! FREE YOURSELF, FREE YOUR BODY, AND MAKE YOUR MUSIC EXPLODE FREELY ! THIS IS WHAT I TEACH TO MY STUDENTS. IT IS NOT EVEN TEACHING..... IT IS MOSTLY ERASING CONDITIONNINGS....
mariasaboya-pianiste.blogspot.fr/2013/09/elements-pour-une-economie-optimale.html. Ici vous pouvez lire cet article d'introduction en français. Le livre n'est pas encore publié. Ce sera pour bientôt.MS
Mme Saboya, J'ai lu vos lignes et un passage m'a beaucoup intérréssé : "Un jeune pianiste doit être guidé par un professeur qui a réfléchi suffisamment sur ces questions et qui sait observer et corriger son élève en conséquence". Tous les grands pianistes ont eu des grands maîtres mais les plus grands ont eu des maîtres qui ont su quoi faire pour que le défaut devienne la qualité. La lecture de Neuhaus est incontournable si on veut comprendre comment. Je me réjouis de lire prochainement votre livre. Bien cordialement. P.
Merci, Philippe. Vous avez raison, Neuhaus est incontournable. Je le cite dans la bibliographie de mon livre, vous le verrez. J'ai connu Neuhaus à travers l'enseignement de mon dernier professeur, Evgeni Malinin, qui avait été l'un des meilleurs élèves de Neuhaus. Avec mes meilleurs voeux, Maria Saboya
Chère Madame, Vos élèves ont de la chance de vous avoir comme professeur. Il faut garder ce (précieux) savoir pour les générations suivantes et l'écriture d'un livre en est une garantie. Merci. P.

Надо заметить, что такая техника игры присуща только для тех, кто играет классику, но не в других стилях и жанрах. Так что не стоит заморачиваться с такой ёрзающей туда сюда рукой тем, кто не классик)
LA MUSIQUE EST TOUJOURS VIVANTE. ELLE S'EXPRIME A TRAVERS LES BOUTS DES DOIGTS D'UN PIANISTE, C'EST DIRE QUE LA VIE QUI HABITE CE PIANISTE SE TRANSMET DIRECTEMENT A SES DOIGTS QUI PARLENT, QUI CHANTENT ET QUI EXPRIMENT LA MUSIQUE. QU'A-T-IL FAIT POUR TRANSFORMER SES DOIGTS EN DES AUTHENTIQUES INTERPRETES D'UNE VERITE MUSICALE VIVANTE ?
+bogdymann interesting comment. See, years earlier, I'd certainly agree with you. But, as a piano student myself, I can guarantee you that those ''ways of articulation and hand movements'' are the fundamentals of a good technique. Some times, our fingers can't do all the work alone, because they don't have enough strength. In order to help them, we need to activate stronger muscles (arm, forearm, elbows), thus the need of such movements. They enable us to relax our hands and fingers, give more fluency, flexibility, better tone, but most of all, prevent us from feeling any sort of physical pain, or having severe injuries due to exhaustive finger work. There is a very interesting book dealing with that subject, called ''on piano playing'' by Györg Sandor. Also, you should watch Taubman's ''choreography of the hands'' (you can find it here on youtube). Hope you enjoy it :)
+Amanda Kohn Thank you for the answer Amanda. After a biit of thinking I realised that technique does have a lot to do with the coreagraphy of the hand. Will check out your suggestions :)
+Amanda Kohn very well explained. At the end of the clip, she performs a piece with combo of several hand movements that articulate into the beautiful sound EVEN despite the horrible sound quality of the clip itself.
Brava, ma quando si decideranno a dare l'onore dovuto al grande R. BREITHAUPT (1905) saccheggiato da tutti,da SANDOR, da BLANCHE SELVA e altri senza mai citarlo . Quanto gli deve la grande scuola russa?
Ceci est très intéressant ...mais en regardant de plus près on s'aperçoit la quasi totalité des pianistes professionnels sont des enfants de pianiste ou de musicien pour le moins... a une époque ou tout va très vite (trop !?) je doute qu' un enfant même surdoué puisse arriver à faire carrière en dehors de ce contexte .

Want to be able to play my own compositions/songs as a song writer. Hear the music in my head but can't seem to get it to my fingers. Somewhat pick out notes and tunes by ear. Saw your video and thought maybe I need to learn exercises and technique BEFORE developing bad habits. I live near Seattle, Washington in USA. Any instructors in my area teaching your technique?
Thank you
To Secret Mission : The name of the piece on minute 10.05 is Rachmaninov's Prelude opus 23n°. 7.
May I ask where is this wonderful, inspiring place?
It is an ancient "cité" called Villeneuvette, near Montpellier in the South of France.
It was an old "factory" designed and built by the great COLBERT, but transformed into a private community with a few houses and gardens.
It's so peaceful and rich of ancient atmosphere... rare qualities in our times...

Mme. Saboya,
Votre grande expérience de l’enseignement du piano dans le monde entier synthétisée dans un ouvrage viendrait assurément combler un grand vide. Les violonistes ont la chance d’avoir « le violon intérieur » de Dominique HOPPENOT, je souhaite de tout cœur que les pianistes puissent bientôt trouver leur « piano intérieur » en ayant entre leurs mains votre livre. Je serai en tous cas un de vos premiers lecteurs et ne manquerai pas de le conseiller chaleureusement à tous mes élèves et mes connaissances pianistique. J’espère maintenant que les circonstances me permettront de revenir vous voir rapidement afin de vous montrer mes progrès depuis l’an dernier et avoir le plaisir de travailler une fois de plus avec vous. Dans cette attente, je vous adresse tous mes vœux de santé, de musique et de réussite dans tous vos projets ! Amitiés

Dear Maestra!Is there any necesity in lifting up the fingers so much as the young man does at 03:34?
DEAR ALEX, in the particular case of that student, that exercice was necessary because he had started to learn piano very late. His tendons were too tight so that he did not have real freedom of his finger movements. In doing that exercice he would improve the flexibility of his tendons and liberate his fingers.
Maria Saboya Got it!Thank you very much,dear Maestra!
Dear Alex, you are a very good pianist. All the best to you, and thank you for the contact. Maria Saboya
Maria Saboya thank you very much,dear Maestra!I value your opinion a lot!
Me encantan estos vídeos. En mi escuela solo nos dan la pieza y ahí dios te ayude. 😩
De dónde sos??
En réponse à Cilene Cilene, it is the Prelude op. 23 n° 7 de Rachmaninov.
Very good wrist technique!

Check in on Maria Saboya from Paris. She is perhaps the only great great teacher that remains in this field of expertise that i've ever known.
Is there someone equal to Dorothy and Maria in the America?

To the Music Publisher
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation about the book "Piano Cantabile: Pédagogie pour un Piano qui Chante", written by the pianist Maria Saboya.
As a pianist and piano teacher, I had the opportunity to take lessons from her and observe her ideas and methods regarding the technical and musical aspects of piano playing. Her knowledge, abilities and skills are extraordinary and she helped me a lot to broaden significantly my knowledge on technical and musical matters. Her pedagogical method is unique and incomparable to any other method that i am aware of, making this book a must have for any piano student and teacher who wants to master the genuine way of piano playing. Therefore, I give my highest recommendation.
Athens, Greece, 12.2.2018
@Jay Agari While you wait, you may read my introductory article that will help you to understand the "best" piano technique according to my students an followers. It was published in clavier_companion_20170102.pdf…(You can contact Clavier Companion on internet and ask them for this article)
I wish there was a video on how to get the pinky to relax in a natural curved manner when playing.....mine tends to stick up a bit
It’s simple. Focus your mind on your body. Concentrate effortlessly like meditation. You must relearn a new muscle memory.
What is the title of the last piece she played at the end? Chopin sonata?
+Ally Uy It is Sonata in B minor opus 58 of Chopin..
Thanks for posting. maurice
Thank you so much! That means a lot. :) I am sure we will be in contact in the future. :) thanks again. :)
In music, Aaron

POUR REPONDRE AUX NOUVELLES DEMANDES, A PARTIR DE JANVIER 2019 MARIA SABOYA REORGANISE UN COURS LE SAMEDI APRES-MIDI A PARIS.

da aula aonde Maria?
Em Paris. Aonde você mora ?
+Maria Saboya ixi moro em Santa Catarina kkkk
Eu estive là em 2014. Dei aulas na Escola de Musica de Diogo Thumé entre outros.
The music itself creates the technique needed to implement it. Technique is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Watch McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock....
THAT IS ABSOLUTELLY CORRECT. BUT WHEN A BODY HAS NOT THE CAPACITY TO ADAPT TO THE INSTRUMENT THE PIANIST CANNOT BE FAITHFUL TO THE DEEP REALITY OF A PIECE OF MUSIC. THE BODY OF A PIANIST MUST BE FREE AND PERFECTLY ADAPTED TO THE INSTRUMENT. THEN HE CAN PLAY REAL MUSIC. ALL WE DO IN MY SCHOOL IS TO FREE THE STUDENT BODY SO THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO FREELY EXPRESS THE MUSIC. YOU CITE PIANISTS WHO HAVE AN EXCELLENT COORDINATION ON THE PIANO. THIS QUALITY DOES NOT COME TO LIFE WITHOUT A LONG PREPARATION OF THE FIRST INSTRUMENT WHICH IS THE BODY ITSELF. IN MY SCHOOL, "TECHNIQUE" MEANS "WAYS TO LIBERATE THE BODY" TO ALLOW THE PIANIST TO CONQUER HIS INSTRUMENT AND THEN PLAY WITH ALL HIS PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL CAPACITIES.
“You don’t learn any kind of shit like that naturally. That’s something somebody teaches you, like when you teach someone how to play an instrument correctly. After you’ve learned how to play your instrument the right way, you can turn around and play it the way you want to, anyway you hear the music and sound and want to play it. But you gotta first learn how to be cool and let whatever happens happen.”
Miles Davis (from his Autobiography)
I think there is a lot of value in learning technique, and in practicing technique by itself (isolated from music content). The thing, is that, like other subjects as nutrition and economics, as important and useful as it is to TRY understanding it (technique), it's incredibly complex, there is no easy and exact answer for these things. So, there are various approaches for piano technique, like there various approaches to nutrition and how to deal with your body. You have to learn as much as you can and think for yourself. But don't think that technique is ”embedded” in the music, you will miss so much incredible knowledge, so many “eureka” moments that you get when you think about technique seriously. I like to read a lot about technique from various sources and collect all kinds of technique exercises in a workbook, then at the end my body will learn to do things in various ways, and finally combine all the knowledge into efficient playing. I like to practice all ways possible, instead of a single way.
DO AS YOU WISH MY DEAR JUAN ! YOU ARE FREE, FREE, FREE ! FREE YOURSELF, FREE YOUR BODY, AND MAKE YOUR MUSIC EXPLODE FREELY ! THIS IS WHAT I TEACH TO MY STUDENTS. IT IS NOT EVEN TEACHING..... IT IS MOSTLY ERASING CONDITIONNINGS....
Maria Saboya : ) thanks so much for the inspiration Maria
I will try to translate it.

Mme Saboya,
J'ai lu vos lignes et un passage m'a beaucoup intérréssé : "Un jeune pianiste doit être guidé par un professeur qui a réfléchi suffisamment sur ces questions et qui sait observer et corriger son élève en conséquence".
Tous les grands pianistes ont eu des grands maîtres mais les plus grands ont eu des maîtres qui ont su quoi faire pour que le défaut devienne la qualité. La lecture de Neuhaus est incontournable si on veut comprendre comment.
Je me réjouis de lire prochainement votre livre.
Bien cordialement.
P.
Merci, Philippe. Vous avez raison, Neuhaus est incontournable. Je le cite dans la bibliographie de mon livre, vous le verrez. J'ai connu Neuhaus à travers l'enseignement de mon dernier professeur, Evgeni Malinin, qui avait été l'un des meilleurs élèves de Neuhaus. Avec mes meilleurs voeux, Maria Saboya
Chère Madame,
Vos élèves ont de la chance de vous avoir comme professeur. Il faut garder ce (précieux) savoir pour les générations suivantes et l'écriture d'un livre en est une garantie.
Merci.

Надо заметить, что такая техника игры присуща только для тех, кто играет классику, но не в других стилях и жанрах. Так что не стоит заморачиваться с такой ёрзающей туда сюда рукой тем, кто не классик)
Pianiste Maria Saboya: Éléments pour une Économie Optimale dans le Jeu Pianistique... mariasaboya-pianiste.blogspot.fr
LA MUSIQUE EST TOUJOURS VIVANTE. ELLE S'EXPRIME A TRAVERS LES BOUTS DES DOIGTS D'UN PIANISTE, C'EST DIRE QUE LA VIE QUI HABITE CE PIANISTE SE TRANSMET DIRECTEMENT A SES DOIGTS QUI PARLENT, QUI CHANTENT ET QUI EXPRIMENT LA MUSIQUE. QU'A-T-IL FAIT POUR TRANSFORMER SES DOIGTS EN DES AUTHENTIQUES INTERPRETES D'UNE VERITE MUSICALE VIVANTE ?
What's up with the title? That's not technique at all, just ways of articulation and some hand movements :(
+bogdymann interesting comment. See, years earlier, I'd certainly agree with you. But, as a piano student myself, I can guarantee you that those ''ways of articulation and hand movements'' are the fundamentals of a good technique. Some times, our fingers can't do all the work alone, because they don't have enough strength. In order to help them, we need to activate stronger muscles (arm, forearm, elbows), thus the need of such movements. They enable us to relax our hands and fingers, give more fluency, flexibility, better tone, but most of all, prevent us from feeling any sort of physical pain, or having severe injuries due to exhaustive finger work. There is a very interesting book dealing with that subject, called ''on piano playing'' by Györg Sandor. Also, you should watch Taubman's ''choreography of the hands'' (you can find it here on youtube). Hope you enjoy it :)
+Amanda Kohn Thank you for the answer Amanda. After a biit of thinking I realised that technique does have a lot to do with the coreagraphy of the hand. Will check out your suggestions :)
+Amanda Kohn very well explained. At the end of the clip, she performs a piece with combo of several hand movements that articulate into the beautiful sound EVEN despite the horrible sound quality of the clip itself.
MARIA SABOYA REPRENDS CES COURS DE PIANO LE 6 JANVIER 2019. LES CANDIDATS PEUVENT LUI ECRIRE PAR EMAIL AU

Thank u.
I prefer russian styles. :)
IT IS YOUR RIGHT, ALEX ! GOOD LUCK.
Ceci est très intéressant ...mais en regardant de plus près on s'aperçoit la quasi totalité des pianistes professionnels sont des enfants de pianiste ou de musicien pour le moins...
a une époque ou tout va très vite (trop !?) je doute qu' un enfant même surdoué puisse arriver à faire carrière en dehors de ce contexte .
Je veux être son élève
If you don't speak French.. Good luck! The subtitles are terrible...
