Delightful
The Sunday before Christmas Craig presented an opportunity to hear a concert of musical pieces he created on the spot for us using words we gave him describing our experience of life. Wow, I could not wait and was not disappointed. The word I chose was gratitude, and as Craig inquired into what gratitude was… for me, another word, creativity, came to me. Craig then created a lovely piano piece using those two words.
He did the same for others on the zoom call, and all the pieces were extraordinary.
One of my bucket list items is to have an Under the Piano experience. I can’t wait. Read more “Delightful”
A Masterful Musical Transformation
Craig Addy gifted me with one of the most transformational experiences of my life. Music was my first language, as I lived in a NYC apartment with my Stradivarius-playing grandfather, my RN grandmother, and my loving parents. They say my first word was “violin.” I saw my life as Before and After — until Craig’s… musical interlude. The Before being this loving, musical, inspirational life. Then, at age three-and-a-half, what felt like a meat cleaver — my grandfather died, we moved from NYC, my father disappeared because my parents divorced and my mother remarried a man who introduced sexual violence, which created a home of drunkenness, schizophrenia, and trauma. I held onto the early beauty, kept trying to heal and get back to that. So, what Craig did was magical. He played his classical piano — reminding my being of my first language of music — and, with his percussion, pizzicato, his crescendo and symphonic musicality, the flow, rhythm, love — and I saw that it all blended together to carry me into a new realization. This is the symphony of my life. It is not Before and After. It is One, with many different tones and textures, with every note meaningful and special. I emerged from my moments with Craig with a new joy for my life, my whole life, all one magnificent musical journey. I am forever grateful! Read more “A Masterful Musical Transformation”
A joy to experience.
I have been attending Craigs monthly concerts through much of the pandemic. I am totally impressed how by listening to his listeners he can spontaneously express intentions in music.
I openly expressed my feelings about the passing of my mother in early October.
Craig created “Reflections of Mother” and it blew me away.
Unique and Inspiring
What a wonderful way to re-connect with your partner and create new possibilities. Craig has a talent like no other. The fact that the music is organic and made just for you as he gets to know you, makes it that much better. Your personal, intimate, original custom made playlist. What a wonderful gift to… give to that special someone in your life. Will be back many more times, I didn’t want it to end! Read more “Unique and Inspiring”

Immediately I was reminded of my childhood living room forts, crawling in and feeling extra safe and cozy. As an adult, I felt awkward at first getting under the piano, but rapidly enjoyed the instant secure feeling. For 40 minutes I went on a journey of my brain trying to tell me this was an… odd thing to do, to traveling with the vibrations that Craig provided in an improvised way. The last image was an appropriate rich reminder of when I was a little girl dancing away, solo, to the classical records while the adults visited in the kitchen. In the end, I didn’t want to emerge from under the piano as I was in a blissfully relaxed state. Thank you, Craig Read more “Trilby Jeeves”

The vibration of the music was so intense, it moved my body, my mind, and my soul. It was warm and personal, and yet intense and new. It is like dancing with yourself, while you lie under the piano quietly.

What a joy it was to receive the unique musical healing experience of your ‘Under the Piano’ session. It was delightful (I loved the child-like playfulness of crawling under the piano!) and also a powerful journey into sound vibration. Something I will never forget – especially the feeling of the music notes dancing through my… heart. From our initial discussion, I felt like you created a soundtrack or score for my life. Afterwards I felt both peaceful and nourished: my mind was quiet and my body relaxed. Thank you for the beautiful gift of this personalized, improvised concert! Read more “Jill Boadway”

Thank you forever for the unique and beautiful experience a few weeks ago of Under the Piano! I was healed, moved, and inspired about the opportunity of romance, creation & imagination. What you create with your music is magical. The particularly intimate perspective of being part of the music was blissful and absolutely priceless. I… was surrounded by the music; the vibration of the piano, the energized air, and the childlike experience of delight at my ‘sneaky’ location. Thank you for the musical adventure & the bliss!

Vibrational healing is my first thought. And by my own personal composer too. The experience was unique and deeply relaxing. It has an emotional component and without words my emotions came to surface and I was ready and able to deal with them.
