"When in doubt, go to the beginning"- Quote from Babylon5. Best teacher advice.

@craiver00 5 жыл бұрын

Very helpful not just for scales but for mastering pieces too. Doesn't matter how far we have reached, we still need to practice the basics.

When I was a teenager my dad always said to learn the piece of music slowly ! , but I was a bit impatient and always tried in a quicker tempo. It’s absolutely vital with any practice that you build up the speed to any playing. I have become a lot more patient in this over the years. It makes absolute sense to slow it down even further like josh says. I know this might be stating the obvious, but it’s often forgot about by a lot of people I would imagine. Great video josh.👍

Hey Josh Wright I was wondering if you could tell me what are the proper fingers used when playing scales? Thank you

@piotrszmyt106 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this advice! Really made huge difference in my practicing routine and saved me a lot of time. Normally when things were falling apart while practicing high speed I took one minute break for reset and then start over again. Unfortunately the problem was still there and the improvement wasn't really big after taking that brake. Now instead of taking 1 minute rest I just use that time to play scale with half of the speed and after that one minute I'm back on track and it prevents me from practicing mistakes. When I practice at a half of speed I can still notice what movements create the wall to achieve the speed I am aiming for and by doing so it gives me better result than just drilling scales at high speed until it feels comfortable. Didn't expect this short video will help me that much. I really appreciate that you give so many high quality advices for free. Best channel ever!

My teacher also suggested playing scales staccato as well as legato. The staccato certainly helps. Why I don't know. It just makes the scale feel so secure after you return to legato. Helps with insecure passages in piano pieces as well.

Thank you so much! This is one of the best of your best advices! It seems so simple but is actually huge! I am surprised I never thought about it. I practiced a piece today with this method and managed to play some parts way faster and clearer than ever before and not only that I managed to not get tense and get rid of tension in parts I struggled with before! (Tension is a big issue for me) Now that I tried it, it seems so obvious that because you always go back to a comfarotable speed you completely relax all the time, whereas when slowly building up speed you will slowly build up tension. Can't thank you enough, this is a revolution! Thank you!

A little time-saver: rather than adjusting the metronome up and down with scales and arpeggios, play them as triplets or eighth notes to the beat rather than 16ths.

I have a unwanted thumb last joint wanting to bend and stay bent while playing certain passages or scales only in the right hand If i put focus on instead bending that joint in reverse (concave) then my scale flows. I have NONE of the this problem with my left hand, it's as if my left hand is an advanced student it can play the right hand scale in the top register at speed even though it is a weird angle for the left arm !

Query: I can't see your feet in this video. I had been a intermediate Clarinet player in primary school and today I am self teaching piano until I can get into classes. We kept time with a toe tap (Clarinet). Is it against rules to practice scales without a toe tap and/or head bob during metronome use? Would toe tap and head bob on the first note in scales help with speed and with randomly changing speed in scales practice, 80bpm followed by 100bpm followed by 60 bpm? I'm okay if its not known but if not known could your student try it and respond if it helps or was useless. I enjoyed your video Thank you so much. I'm subscribed and celebrating!

@em8714 3 жыл бұрын

My teacher has said to me before that every scale should be played like it's a piece. In other words play it as a phrase, crescendo to the top and diminuendo back down. I don't know if this helps however I think this generally removes the need to tap a beat and also makes the scale sound smooth and even.

Yes, check his video on " Keep, drop, or take a break". In it he explains if you have learned a piece 3times it will stay with you a long time (this will only happen if you learn it, take a break, then learn it again, take a break, then learn it a third time. Now it's probably there...even after a few years. This is how musicians actually build and maintain repertoire!

@@retrops4261 True ! One of spectacular mechanism of memory is relearning, on a short scale of time, you can try to create blackout when playing, like stopping suddenly in middle of a phrase, this way of doing will help you a lot to memorize a piece by heart (when I mean by heart, it's not the fake "by heart" when you reckon on muscle memory till you fuck up at the first mistake and have to start over from the beginning).

@retrops4261 5 жыл бұрын

@@Assassunn the stop in the middle of phrase idea..would you use that only at tempo, or would you do that slowly too? My thinking is that both would be ok, but slowly might be better since at or near tempo if repeated too many times this way, might prime you in performance to do it accidentally. To prevent this, doing a playthrough right after without stopping could be important so that you don't get too used to the idea of random breaks in playing (add a note to technique aside)

@Assassunn 5 жыл бұрын

@@retrops4261 Yes exactly slow even very slow so you develop deep memory note by note instead of whole pattern, an efficient way to do it is to sing or at least say the notes of the melody then suddenly stop and think of what you wanna eat tomorrow. With the melody you should've constructed a different pathway of memorization to use while performing

Very good insight, thank you Josh! Sometimes, I find it also very hard to go to super slow speed, such as 30 or even 15. Feels like riding a bicycle too slow, so you almost fall over 😬 like unlearning to walk 😬
