EDIT: a couple of times in this tutorial I refer to "sixteenth notes" when I mean "eighths" - apologies for that. I naturally refer to "quavers", but thought I'd try to be a bit more international. I'll remember to check next time 🤣
In this piano tutorial we explore a really important piano technique. It's used a lot in classical playing from intermediate level onwards, but it's also useful to learn if you're a relative piano beginner, because it's really good for hand independence. The tutorial features a couple of exercises, the latter of which is a short piece to learn, and there's a PDF to download (link below) that includes all the scores you need, including for the short piano solo I play at the start.

Because you're English I really was waiting for "nice cup of tea" 😂 The melody is so dreamy and beautiful, it could be from a video game. I sometimes practice 3 against 2 or 2 against 3 by playing scales in parallel or contrary motion. Or I practice chord progressions by playing chords in polyrhythms, alternating 3:2 and 2:3.

...with a splash of milk 🤣 Glad you like it, Amelia, thanks - and thanks too for those practice ideas!

Hey Bill, thanks for this exercise. It's a nice challenge! I'm wondering if it is bad for learning effectivity concerning hand independence if I see it as combined rhythm which divides every beat in 6 parts. Right than plays on 1 und 4, while LH plays on 1, 3 and 5. What do you think?

@BillHilton 9 ай бұрын

You're welcome! I think that's fine, really, especially when you're starting to learn it. However, once you've got confident you'll probably find that counting it as 4/4 helps you give clearer definition and a better sense of flow to the melody - does that make sense?

@@BillHilton 👍 makes sense. Thank you

Man this is tough. Can't do it. Thought I could do it, too.

@BillHilton 9 ай бұрын

It *is* tough, but you'll probably find that it's one of those things you can master if you chip away at it - a little bit of practice every day for a few weeks. It's definitely worth sticking with!

@@BillHilton Your KZfaq channel is great. But I don't have the patience to do exercises that aren't fun. I just print out chord/lyrics charts and play along with KZfaq until I can sing the songs myself. I just sometimes try to force myself to do the hard stuff. Learning piano properly is for children. Middle-aged adults like me are too old to learn the proper way. But thank you for providing the world a great resource!
