Don’t forget “fast” is relative to ones current skill level. This FETCH method is of great value to the learner (me) as it is to one who is highly skilled.

I am a beginner and enjoy your method of teaching. The passage you used in this mini-lesson is well beyond my skill level for now, but I can apply your techniques now.

Dr. Boyd - another wonderful contribution to this collection of pedagogical frameworks - mnemonics like this are so useful in communicating ideas to students! I think that one of the contributions to fluency (avoiding Hesitation) is to consider momentum. In passagework, from the beginning, feel the transfer of weight from key-to-key and consider at the same time the overall direction. In physics, momentum is mass (think "weight") directed along a velocity vector. It may be just my overly analytical way of thinking about this, but I've always felt that paying attention to momentum in a passage in this way helps achieve velocity without tension. The body wants continuous rather than episodic movements.

Thank you!! I've been avoiding any pieces faster than andante, but now I'm trying Burgmuller's Op100 etudes and need to step up the speed! (And re. fingerings - the edition I bought from Schirmer has some, uh, interesting ones... I started to feel like they were hazing the newbies. I've got an edition from Alfred on order.)

@dowemimi6153 24 күн бұрын

in the process of learning a fast piece, once you've learned the notes and start to work on the flow of the notes, do you have to work in chunks in order to accelerate it? what I mean is that if the piece is let's say 160 bpm and I can play it at 80, do I have to reach 160 for each chunk before moving to the next?

There’s utility here for we violinists as well.

Thank you -- I will put this lesson into action today. I am working on Scott Joplin's "Magnetic Rag", and my fingering is just not right. I'll chart it out, and try your FETCH methodology!

I'm not ready to play fast, but this was very helpful for visualizing my pieces in Burgmüller. Merci beaucoup.

And you won’t if you don’t prepare for it. Playing fast is more of the quality of your study when you practice slow, meaning that you are completely aware of what you’re doing. All the advice Kate gives in this video applies in general to improving your practice. For example, making the habit of playing close to the keys is essential in general. Being aware of the motions you are doing while practicing too, since playing the piano is about controlling what you are doing and not just hopping things go well

Thanks, nice video. I always miss a description of how to achieve a consistent fingering for the fast passage. If I play slowly, I cannot judge the correct fingering for fast playing.

@christinachen2150 23 күн бұрын

Great points. I would like to recommend NOT to write down too many fingering for the early level students. Many students play by following the fingering instead of reading notes.

I wanted to ask something not really related to your video. Did you ever had a piece that you just can't play without making any mistakes ? The Bach invention 6 is just driving me crazy. I play it and I make just a small mistake. Ok I work a bit that mistake and there's no problem with that part actually. So I start the piece again and I make another mistake. Again I work it and start again... and again and again with more and more mistakes as if the more I play it the more mistakes I make. I know that piece. I've been on it for 2 months now and I don't know what to do. I'm desperate.

Getting help from a teacher would be a good idea at this point. Also, working on audiating the music you are playing:)

@@growingpianists thank you for your comment. It's holiday now and don't see my teacher. I don't think he really has a solution for this. He usually says to repeat small chunks, but that doesn't help as I'm really ok at repeating parts of the piece. It's when I do the whole piece. There is always a few note I miss. That piece is not easy because there are a lot of accidentals and also there are many parts that look the same but just a few notes higher or lower and you have to remember which part is what.
