The method utilises aspects of movement, gravity and breathing that creates a more natural and organic approach to piano playing, performing and teaching.

This haunting yet beautiful piano piece was composed by Hayden Parsey and commissioned by GéNIA for her to play. Such were the power of the emotions generated by the music, a cover version was used by Girlguiding UK who produced a powerful 40-second video to promote their Girls Attitude Survey.
