Alexander work, F Major triads, some improvisation.

If I can let go of my shoulder tension while I play, it will be a major accomplishment. This is the focus of my calisthenic work right now. Observing the body carefully and working with inhibition, relaxation, and following clear directions. There is a lot contained within the small gesture of lifting the left hand to the neck.
