“Dalcroze for Pianists: Gestures in Piano Playing” – Fumi Nakayama, Piano
Friday, November 19, 2021
Room 232
5:00-6:50 p.m.
free admission

Come join us and experience Dalcroze movement exercises, known as Eurhythmics, to discover new ways to express yourself in piano music. In this interactive presentation, Professor Nakayma will demonstrate how these movement-exercises are useful for pianists. Participants will discover how to use gestures to help performance flow and how to use fingers-wrists-arm to reflect the flow of the music. They will also discover ways to create expressive tones with purposeful movements. Participants should bring a prepared piece to try out during this presentation of the Dalcroze Method.

Fumi Nishikiori-Nakayama earned her Bachelor of Music in Piano and Harpsichord degree from the Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University, and Master of Music in Piano and Early Music/Harpsichord from Indiana University, where she was the recipient of numerous awards including the prestigious Rudolph Ganz Memorial Award, and Willi Apel Scholarship. She has studied piano with Ludmila Lazar, Shigeo Neriki, harpsichord with David Schrader, Elisabeth Wright, fortepiano with Elizabeth Wright and Kenneth Drake, chamber music with Rostislav Dubinsky, early chamber music with Stanley Ritchie, and conducting with Thomas Baldner and Imre Pallo.

One thing that needs to be considered in this time of major climate change concern is the carbon emissions of flying in artists from overseas. The carbon emissions of flying Stockholm-Tucson roundtrip come to about 3 tons per economy class passenger. That is comparable to the carbon emissions produced by the average American in 1 year of driving. Could a US-based organist have played this recital (shorter travel distance and lower emissions)? Or, is Hammarstrom already on tour in the US (thus consolidating multiple recitals into 1 overseas trip)? There is also the option of offsetting flight emissions. Saying this as a DMA grad of the UA organ program and as an astronomy educator who’s following the astronomy field’s efforts to mitigate climate impact.
