BLOCKING LESSONS from the PIANO BENCH by Coach Paul Alexander

Description

Cross - Pollination.

In sports and music, we learn from each other. The traits of elite human performance are often times similar from one area to the other. This course is about the elite blocking techniques that I learned from my piano studies from world class concert pianists …. and why some blockers do it better than others.

In the arts, we would call a course like this ‘avant garde”; as athletes, we might just call it “weird”.

But … it’s FREE. And you might learn some cool stuff.
