Thanks, Ashlee. I have no idea why this method works, but it not only works, but works well. I grew up playing the piano but haven’t looked at it much decades, unfortunately but during covid I decided to pick up the saxophone and am completely in love with it. I was introduced to a very similar method (light, heavy, light, heavy followed by heavy, light, heavy, light; chaining, and so on) a few months ago and was floored by the results. No matter how hard I practiced using the old traditional method, I couldn’t break the barrier of many fast 16th or 32nd note passages in different pieces I was learning. With this method I would consistently blow through it - quite literally, I guess.😊 However, I never thought of keeping a light touch until the last note. I will try this in my next practice on a passage I’m currently having problems with. Thanks, again.

Thanks for providing this very helpful video on the 10X method, Ashlee! This is very much appreciated and I plan to use it regularly both for learning scales and new passages in general. But one question with regard to learning scales: do you have a recommended method - or better yet an instructional video - for learning how to effectively practice scales HANDS TOGETHER and over MULTIPLE OCTAVES? To me, mastering scales where each hand is playing a very different finger pattern is much harder than playing either the right or left hand. And then it becomes an order of magnitude harder when you go from playing just one octave to playing two or even three octaves. Does the 10X method - including employing your recommendation to break the scales into four note chunks - work for that? Or is there an entirely different approach that you would recommend?

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 13 күн бұрын

Great question! I would recommend this way of practicing first… Because it will help you get each scale individually. You could then practice the transition from one to two, and that would help you be able to do this practice method with multiple objectives. Once you were done and you had the multiple octave scale hands alone, you could actually practice in rhythms hands together. If you don’t know how to do that, I explain it in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpmAn8WkxLjOkok.htmlsi=Jee_LT0Z10drFFyx The post it method would also be helpful depending on where you’re at. It’s also described in the above video. Keep in mind that you wouldn’t want to practice with this method or in rhythms unless you were achieving a high percentage of accuracy. If that’s not possible, start with the post method and work your way up to the other methods.

Yep. After 8 notes and 5 successful tries in a row the fingers get kind of dizzy.

@codetech5598 21 күн бұрын

Regarding fingering: Let's say you're playing a melody in key of Bb and the notes happen to be Eb, F, G. Should you use fingers 3,1,2 just as in the scale?

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 21 күн бұрын

If you are seeing little scale passages in a piece of music, context is always key. I would suggest looking at what comes before the scale passage and what comes after. No, you would not necessarily use that exact fingering, depending on what comes before and after.

@codetech5598 21 күн бұрын

@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio So I don't understand the importance of using the correct fingers in scales if the only time you will use it is in playing those exact scales, not real music.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 21 күн бұрын

@@codetech5598 it builds proper technique / habits and also, you would be using the same fingerings in music quite often, just not 100% of the time and not in the one specific example you gave.

i thought scales like Bb major, B major, and F, were BUILT for the human hand. i thought they were voted by thousands of Jazz players as the most ergonomic scales on the piano keyboard 😁🥰🥰. but it's interesting to learn that for someone ELSE . . . the scale of Bb major actually feels HARD to play (adapt to) 😄😍🤩

@G8tr1522 21 күн бұрын

B/Cb, F#, C#/Db, Ab, and Eb maj are always the easiest for me. I'm a self taught jazz pianist.

go figure, i predicted your favorite composer was liszt is this not the video I would be expecting from you ? if one day I could play with this kind of technique I would practice scales to be able to play very small parts of virtuoso material, have you ever practiced the greig concerto ?

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 24 күн бұрын

Yes! I never learned it to completion but I practiced it enough to teach it :) and yes this technique / practice would be very applicable to cadenzas, etc!
