    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.

The game continues until noon this Friday, May 11. I'll be keeping you posted on additional and simple opportunities to share about Under the Piano this week. I'm curious to see what can be created simply by having as many people as possible share. So you know, the current results since I started promoting last Friday are 1 booking and 2 serious leads (one through a Facebook share).

      Thanks for checking out my website. I got your message and have sent a reply. Let me know if you have any other questions. Are you considering this for Mother's Day or just in general?

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.

    Under the Piano is a multi-sensory musical experience. Imagine yourself nestled in the luxury of silk comforters and cushions with artwork, a multitude of candles, and aromatherapy. Imagine the powerful sound vibrations of the piano 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.

    see more Many of you have by now heard of Craig Addy's "Under the Piano" session. If this is all new to you or you are still doubtful whether or not to try out this unique experience, well maybe my testimonial can help you understand what this session may provide for you. Read on...

    "For me, going to an "Under the Piano" session at Craig’s was a step into a special musical world brought to life by Craig’s masterful piano play, inspired and created in the moment. The experience was exquisite, very personal, relaxing yet uplifting, and above all deeply touching.

    An important component of the session was the time that Craig and I spent drinking tea and talking: At the beginning of the session Craig explained what I might expect from the session, and afterwards he helped me identify and pinpoint the highlights of my experience and their effect on me. Our conversation managed to bring the entire experience to a conscious level, which added to its depth and multi-dimensional flavour.

    Whenever I now listen to the recording of the session I am magically taken back to that place of wonder, beauty and inner connection; and I reconnect to this uniquely personal experience – all facilitated by Craig’s engaging presence and his virtuoso piano play.

    I highly recommend Craig’s Under the Piano session – along with the recording – as an experience that opens the floodgates to deep inner connection and well-being. It truly is a Sound Spa treatment for the body, mind and soul. See for yourself!" Monika Becker, July 2011
