A recently published peer reviewed study shows that the method Timani can improve posture when playing, enhance control and dexterity in the upper extremities, and encourage better breathing mechanisms. All participants noted that they achieved better performance results with less effort, increased endurance, and enhanced sound production. Here are examples of what they say in their own words:
“I have found more stability and a smoother and bigger sound. And the pianissimo became more transparent as well and it does not sound so low.”
“I feel that I’m finding my own tone more and more, and I can actually get the sound that I want without wearing myself out.”
Many noted that they felt more confident when performing, experienced less anxiety, and were able to focus on their performance goals and musical expression more. Here is an example of what one participant said:
“I felt inner calmness when I played. Also, less nerves.”

About Timani
As musicians we are completely dependent on the coordination skills of our body. The interplay of muscular use is complex, and it’s therefore useful to have specific knowledge about what’s actually going on when we play and sing. This is where Timani comes in to get an understanding of instrument specific anatomy and movement.
