Under the Piano – Sound Spa for Body, Mind & Soul

Specialties

When you lie under my grand piano, nestled amongst opulent quilts and cushions, you are treated to 40 – 45 minutes of piano improvisations. You’re surrounded by music and cocooned by sound. Your entire body is immersed in sound vibrations and music. It’s both a premium front row personalized concert and a remarkably relaxing and healing sound massage. Under the Piano affects you mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Each session is unique. The music created is spontaneously composed just for you. A recording of your music which reconnects you to the experience when replayed can be purchased if desired.

Looking for fun things to do at night? Under the Piano is a beautiful, romantic candlelit date night for adventurous & inquisitive music lovers.

The experience is a great maternity gift for pregnant mothers or couples. Especially during the third term when the bay can hear the music.

Under the Piano also has proven helpful for people dealing with grief and stress. It’s a beneficial and restorative musical experience for individuals and couples exploring alternative therapy and counselling.

History

Established in 2009.

As a child, Craig Addy used to lie under the piano while his mother played beautiful classical music. A visit to Showcase Pianos in 2008 gave Craig an opportunity to get under a piano again when the memory of his childhood occasions under his mom’s piano randomly popped into his thoughts. It had been over 30 years. The power of his childhood experience came flooding back, but this time with a conscious awareness of the effects the vibrations were having on his entire body.

After that experience, Craig began to experiment. He combined his unique improvisational artistry with the experience of lying under his grand piano and began sharing this with people in his life. «Under the Piano» was born.

As of 2015, Craig has provided Under the Piano sessions for over 600 people ranging from 2 months to 96 years old. The music for each session is spontaneously composed & well over 2,500 original Under the compositions are archived on Craig’s computer, websites & social media pages.
