In this week’s episode of Learn Piano: A Personal Practice, Cynthia explores one of the most subtle and powerful aspects of musical expression: breath.

🌿 From my own Qigong practice to the flowing lines of Debussy, I share how posture, energy, and mindful breath shape every phrase we play. 🎹 Discover how to sit like a tree (yes, really!) and let your music move like wind in the trees.

✨ Whether you're a beginner or an advanced pianist, this episode will help you reconnect with the living, breathing nature of music—so you can play with more freedom, flow, and feeling.
