Born in Montreal in 1955 Alan Fraser studied piano but also delved into composition, cello, classical singing and had several stints as a pop musician. Alan’s main pianistic influence was the pioneering research of Phil Cohen who studied alongside Ronald Turini, Andre Laplante and Janina Fialkowska with Yvonne Hubert, who had been Cortot‘s assistant in Paris. Alan spent several years with Cohen after an apprenticeship with two former Cohen students, Alan Belkin and Lauretta Milkman.

Let the wrist flex
Using the wrist to inflect the music, to form the music
Going laterally helps the fingers and makes the angle of arm to finger to key actually good

For a live, vibrant sound
Constantly evolving, empowering tonus of the hand
The gravity is educating and informing skeleton how it can org itself into vertically without any effort
