Crossing Hands Without Confusion or Catastrophe
| Description | Presenter |
| Passages that traverse the keyboard over wide distances sometimes require a quick crossing of the hands. The issue is how to make a rather acrobatic choreography feel reliable and secure. This presentation by John Bloomfield will give you tools for handling challenging passages in the repertoire with confidence and ease. | John Bloomfield |
