A beautiful, singing tone lies at the heart of every great pianist’s sound. In this Focus Session, Rae de Lisle explores how to create a true cantabile — a tone that carries, breathes, and sings even on a percussive instrument like the piano.
You’ll learn how to shape phrases with depth and colour, match the decay of one tone to the next, and balance melody with accompaniment. Rae demonstrates how to transfer controlled arm weight through the pads of the fingers to achieve a resonant, lyrical sound — one that can transform your playing from mechanical to expressive.
