1.0 out of 5 stars Dangerous to your health!, May 24, 2002

By	Gregory Urich "gregory_urich" (Lund Sweden) - See all my reviews

This book is based on traditional piano pedagogy wherein knowledge is passed from respected master to student, from generation to generation without ever attempting to prove anything using the scientific method. After all, the proof is in the playing...right?

The book contains no references to any type of statistics, scientific research or experiments. As well the reader will find no discussion of the underlying anatomy or physiology. This book abounds with advice, which contradicts the scientific conclusions of modern functional anatomy.

Many exercises are presented which are meaningless without proper "how to" instructions. There may be other useful information in this book but I was only concerned with the physical aspects of playing....
