Under the Piano, a Sound Spa for Body, Mind, and Soul, is a multi-sensory musical experience. Imagine yourself nestled under a grand piano in the luxury of silk comforters and cushions with artwork, a multitude of candles, and aromatherapy if you choose. Imagine the powerful sound vibrations of improvised piano music permeating, enveloping and resonating through your body. This is indeed an experience that engages all the senses - a whole new context in which to experience music. Your session is unique, as the improvised music is spontaneously composed during your session. A recording of your unique personal music can be purchased. Sessions are available for individuals and couples.
Craig is a musician & composer. His Under the Piano practice combines emotional, aesthetic & psychological elements of music with the physics of sound. As a member of the Amicus Music Duo he explores how context can change our experience of music. Craig is committed to a world that sounds beautiful. He blogs about music, sound & noise at craigaddy.com.

It is indeed being under a grand piano, but also much more.
When you crawl under my grand piano and nestle amongst opulent quilts and cushions you are treated to 40 minutes of piano improvisations. You are surrounded by the music and cocooned by the sound. Your entire body is bathed by sound vibrations. You get to enjoy your very own personal concert and a remarkably relaxing and healing experience. The experience affects you mentally, emotionally and physically.
Each person’s session is unique, but there are some experiences that are frequently mentioned by clients. These include the sneaky, childlike, playfulness clients experience just by crawling under the piano. The experience is also often described as calming, relaxing, magical and meditative. The vibrations of the piano and the music I create for you give you access to becoming present to both the moment and your body. The experience is ‘healing’ because it physically affects your body at a cellular level. -

Then participants and communications coach Allan Knight gave each other positive feedback and ideas that would improve our communication.
I got that I am great when I have 2 or 3 minutes but need to do some ground work and thinking to be effective with just 30 seconds or even 5 seconds.

It seems the atmosphere of intimacy of a small circle gave an additional advantage to this meeting, as every participant got a lot of attention to one's presentation and effective feedback from Allan and others. I'm sure that with up to twelve participants it will still carry the same essence as it was today. Thank you Allan for great coaching tips!7 months ago

I took away a number of great ideas and insites. Some powerful reminders about things I knew but forgot about too. One of my favourite new discoveries was Andrew's suggestion that if you are getting bored with your infomercial you're likely on the right track - because it means you are re-creating a consistent message. A lack of consistency is a common failing amongst people in communicating about their business or service. As Andrew wisely said, most people need to hear a communication 7 or more times before they actually get the communication.
Thanks Andrew.
Andrew has 2 great seminars coming up on July 24 and I highly recommend you check these out. http://empowerment-seminars.com/

I am asking for your support in having my 3 day Under the Piano event (May 11, 12 & 13) be a tremendous success. The event is an opportunity to celebrate and honour all the mothers in our lives with an ultimate, unique and beautiful experience - an Under the Piano session of course. Lucky participants get the added bonus of a beautiful flower(s) when the complete the session.
To fulfill on my request I am asking that you simply tweet, facebook, google plus and/or email 2 links to your communities.
The first link is for my blog post "Mother's Day - What is the Perfect Gift?" It's about the proven and better value of experiences compared to material things. It is not a promotion about my event, but it speaks to the value of my event. The link for this is:
http://bit.ly/ItJZHc
The second link is for the event itself. I've set it up on facebook. Please share the link with your facebook friends and tweet about it to. Here is the link:
http://on.fb.me/UtPMothersDayGift
Any sharing is much appreciated.
If you have experienced Under the Piano, you can also comment on the blog post and recommend Under the Piano as a great experience. The post asks readers to share what they think is a great Mother's Day idea.

To me, beauty which engages our senses – sight, sound, touch, smell, taste - stops us in our tracks and brings us into the moment in an unfettered space where dreaming, exploring and moving beyond our boundaries can thrive. In this space we are present to love and being connected with the world - no longer alone. Sound is the medium through which I create and share beauty.
