Piano Practice Tips - The Benefits of Slow Relaxed Practice
Рет қаралды 127,564
Күн бұрынwww.pianocareer... In this video, I answer some questions posted on my blog - PianoCareer.com. The questions are:
1. How to make sure that the descending movement in scales is played evenly (especially the position shift, when the 3rd finger crosses over the thumb)?
2. Why does the pinkie of many pianists tend to lift up during fast passages?
3. Achieving speed and developing our technique - piano practice tips and suggestions.
4. Practice recommendations for mastering the first bars of Schumann's "Hasche Mann" from the "Kinderszenen" Suite op. 15.

Please do me a favor. Next time you see your mom and dad give them a big hug for me. They let you study the piano and realize your dream. I had piano lessons for over 16 years and was accepted into Berklee College of Music back in 1972. My father was a construction worker so I had to be a construction worker. Never was allowed to go to Berklee. Now that I am near retirement I am thinking of performing once again. Cherish your gift (hard work) and your parents Mike

Wow, Mike - I was very excited to see your entry. I also wanted to study piano in college in 1971, but got waylaid along the way for a number of reasons. After working all my life, I just went back to lessons at age 67! I hope you were able to find your musical self again - It’s been hard to find anyone who believes I can go back to any kind of serious playing, but I am determined to work hard at it and give it my best shot. I do find that my learning curve is VERY slow, but I will do what I can. After not playing for 47 years, I have already learned 3 pieces in 3 months, so I guess that’s not too bad. I was so relieved to see that there was someone else out there who wanted to get back into playing at a much later age! Thank you for your inspiration! (Even though it was 7 years ago...!)

Thank you, Michael! A weighted piano mechanism (excellent choice!) requires the use of whole-arm action (playing in a relaxed manner, from the entire weight of your arm). You can learn all the details of this professional technique on my Piano Coaching Program (2nd link in desc. box). Hanon's Exercises are a little outdated (being focused on the old-school finger-only harpsichord technique). I recommend scales instead! :) Good luck!

When I practice the B-flat harmonic minor B-flat, C, D-flat, E--flat. F,G-flat, A , B-flat with the last B-flat my right hand pinky also goes flying into space. Fingering, I remember correctly for right hand is 4,1.2.3,1,2,3,4. My jazz piano teacher taught me to have my thumb (in the right hand going up and the left hand when going down) to immediately go under the other fingers to be in position to play the thumb not. If not there is a slight break if you wait to move the thumb.

+John Kilbourne A good or great teacher always knows how to exemplify the correct technique by being able to display the imperfections of the incorrect technique and make direct comparison. Such teaching skill does not apply only on piano playing, it is very effective in all other aspects of learning where technique of execution is required for great results. Be it in sports, manufacturing skills, you name it. A large number of teachers or instructors simply omit the wrong way of doing things, thus not really teaching but offering only a blueprint. This is not only a very pleasant but very detailed and SMART way of teaching. It is almost like she is with you in your room, anticipating all your mistakes she has already went through in the past. Fabulous stuff.

No matter how many accidentals you have 'in your way', avoid extremes! Don't play on the edge of the white keys (even when you play C major) - and also don't play near the fallboard. Keep your fingers approx. in the middle of the white keys (the middle is measures from the edge to where the black keys start). When playing scales with accidentals, continue to keep the fingers on the middle of the white keys. This will allow you to reach all the black keys comfortably - playing near their edge.

Hi! I'm not a doctor so I cannot give you detailed advice without seeing you play (plus, I don't know the exact current condition of your pinkie). But one thing is sure: if you want to progress and overcome your injury you have to practice slowly, in a relaxed, mindful manner, by making sure that your posture, hand position and playing gestures are correct. You can learn more from the articles on my blog and from the tutorials posted on my Piano Coaching Program (links in description box).
@pianocareer 11 жыл бұрын
The 'quiet hand' is necessary sometimes (when we need to create a certain expressive effect) - but it is not a fundamental technique. In the Russian piano school, our priority is whole-arm action combined with elbow/wrist flexibility and relaxation. If used correctly, these principles inevitably strengthen the fingers, but without any risk of tension and injury (which can appear as a result of 'immobile' finger-only action).

Thank you! ;) I currently teach online - in February 2012 I founded the Piano Coaching Program at Piano Career Academy (link in description box). There you can find hundreds of detailed video and written tutorials inspired from the questions of my online students - and I post new information on a daily basis :). You can find out more about me and this project on my blog (1st link in description box) - where you'll also find more than 30 free articles and videos. Enjoy! ;)

Hi Antony! Every professional was a beginner once! :))) With lots of practice, determination and LOVE for piano playing, there are no limits to what you can accomplish! ;) By the way, check out my step-by-step Video Practice Guide for Beginners based on Nikolaev's "Russian School of Piano Playing" - Lesson No. 1 is available here on KZfaq (all the other lessons can be found on my Piano Coaching Program - link in desc. box). Good luck and enjoy your practice! :)))

Thank you for sharing and demonstrating these valuable insights. I took lessons as a child and adult and unfortunately my teachers never offered these ideas. it was only via my study of drawing and Tai Chi did I learn the value of moving the whole body in a relaxed, wave-like motion. I will continue to revisit this video as I learn to play the piano in such a manner. It is beautiful to observe and listen to. Thank you!

I have never stopped playing the piano since I have been 7 years old. To this day I am asked where am I playing? What club or what event. All I can say for the time being is, in my house. And I make you tube videos. My current job does not allow me play out because of the strange 3rd shift hours, plus I work weekends. Someday its going to happen. I will perform again. No one at work ever stands up and gives you a round of applause. Performing does, I miss it. Mike

@afertyus1000 This is a very good question! Fluidity and relaxation are two sides of the same coin - and they both come with experience and correct practice! The more your practice in a correct, relaxed manner, the more your movements will become fluid, graceful and elegant - reflecting the character of the music and producing a beautiful, deep, expressive sound. I describe these techniques in detail on my site! ;)

I am a beginner but when I see you play fast I don't think I will get to that level. I tried to do the raise your elbow calm your wrist pressure gently but it just feels really weird and it stresses my hand also I try to do the skills but I end up pressing two notes and I keep messing up do you think will I ever get better if I keep practicing all the time.

Hi, I'm also a beginner but you'll improve once you continue giving your attention to what you must do. I still have a lot of things to improve also but at some point, there are things that I have already surpassed too. Continue practicing and don't get disheartened by your current situation.
