A lot of piano players have the ability to:
👉🏼 Hear if the notes of a chord are not all being played at the same time.
👉🏼 FEEL if it’s awkward to play the chord even if you can’t put your finger on why.

And if you’ve ever experienced one of those, that puts you above a lot of piano players.

Thank you dear piano teacher. I don't want you to go. I suscribed and activated the little bell. You motivated me to go back to my piano keyboard 🎉

These are all good recommendations, of course. Additionally, my number one extra tip that helps me with playing even chords and sequences of chords accurately and in good time is to get in position to play the chord as early as possible, even if it means hovering over the chord for a short times. Of course, that assumes legato is obtained where needed by using the pedal, which might not always be appropriate...

Ooooooh I love this so much. I always play too far into the keys. It does feel very weird. I will definitely work on this.

Oh my God, this is at least 3 tutes rolled into one! This difference makes learning part of a pattern instead of individual and separate lessons. You see what I’m doing here?😊

Bahahaha love it - thank you! I didn’t think about the fact that this is 3 in one but you’re totally right. I’ll have to do this style for more topics!

Thank you! I needed tip #2! I’ve lately been playing pieces with broken chords moving up and down the keyboard with crossing hands, etc. A couple days ago I pulled out a Le Couppey etude “D” with chords and I wasn’t hitting the notes simultaneously. So upset, but I paused your video and started playing it, and my fingers were way too far in. I would have had a hard time figuring that out without your video. Thank you.

Your lesson on seeking out different fingering styles reminded me of a time when I was doing just that. I was preparing a Mozart Andante, I think. The contrast between the two editors couldn't have been sharper. The first editor seemed like (s)he was looking out for me at every step, considering, as you say Ashlee, what comes before and what comes after, almost as though (s)he really cared about me personally. The second editor was like Homer Simpson in the nuke plant, saying "what does this do?" and just writing a hodge-podge of fingerings. It was like night and day. I wonder if you could talk about the designation "Urtext" and what it means for fingering, since the two editors were from Urtext and non-Urtext editions.

Oh my goodness this comparison is 💯

Thank you for these insights, I am heading next to the video about chords in the Chopin prelude! I always felt that they sound clunky when I play it, even if I hit the right notes 🎶

Oh good! You are very welcome! Glad you’ll check that other one out too, it’ll help!

Great tutorial. Thank You. You mentioned that you have another video about fingering rules that you would link in the description, but I do not see that link there?

Merci beaucoup. I am not a musician, and I never sang. Choir teachers told me to move my lips and not make a sound. I have overcome my angst and started trying to sing...badly, but I have to start somewhere. I've watched several singers who talk about their solfège training, and describe the Guidonian hand. Some of them say that playing a stringed instrument (I'm learning the ukulele) or the piano, they can feel the areas on their hand as they play. Do you have any experience in this, have you trained as a singer?

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 4 ай бұрын

I’m not a trained singer but I taught college ear training which included solfège. It can be very helpful!

Hi, I have a quick question. I am barely learning how to play. My question is, lets say the 1st chord on a song starts with a C. How do you know which C you should be playing since there are several C's past the center C? Thank you

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio Ай бұрын

Use middle C as a landmark and count up or down the octaves

@johnagnew2040 4 ай бұрын

Hi Ashlee most of the books I bought they show fingering for the right hand but not the left, is there any rule to follow

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 4 ай бұрын

Give this a try, this will help! I’d also suggest looking for other editions if that’s a possibility. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbpzdblqtpzLZ3U.htmlsi=bP8glRB9EcWd-A-5
