Excellent! Now it’s sinking in why i miss notes a little sometimes… this calls for a chart for practising. I’m going to include the minor chord triads too 👏😊

Any chance you can also show us a simple improv … then how to write up the score for it? I can’t find anyone teaching this way . (Starting with the actual music and working towards the score not the other way round. ) This is the way I think though 🤓

@@judew939 That may be the most perfect suggestion possible! A lovely piece, widely known, not too difficult to read. I will not have access to my studio for a few weeks, but in the meantime, I will start storyboarding possible topics: harmonic analysis, melodic analysis, form, meter, rhythm, chords, chord progressions, roman numeral analysis, technique, memorization, etc. is the a particular aspect that interests you?

I even took 2 private classes but seems not to help at all. The teacher never mentioned i had my elbows glued to my body. She just want to start me playing pieces, while i am in pain. Thank you for this amazing video. You made it so clear , i hope it will help me avoid the pain so i can continue my journey in learning piano. thank you so much

The only issue I am having is my fourth finger is resting too much and hitting the note below my pinky
@SuperDieu_66665 ай бұрын
Me too! But I got it afterwards. It’s great to be loose, but not too much to the point where the fingers are not solid. Just think as isolating the 5th finger (not thinking about it, just isolating) by having it more downwards with strengthening ONLY your finger (not the rest like your wrist, other fingers, arm or forearm). I know it’s hard to understand like that, but it’s the best I can do. Good luck and keep me informed about your progress!

Did piano lessons for three years and none of my teachers could explain to me why I was having trouble “tucking my thumb.” I eventually gave up playing the piano for about two years and now I’m finally coming back to it. Looked up a video on what thumb-stretching techniques I could try to make this easier and I stumbled across your video. It’s been eleven years since you uploaded this video and it’s still as good as gold. Needless to say, this helped a TON!

Super helpful thank you! Any tips for trying to apply this to an 8 note scale including a crossover? The crossover makes it a little more complicated, I can do a mini circle with just thumb index middle but I guess its the crossover that makes thing weird. I guess just do your best to keep the loose feeling and momentum alive while focusing more on being circular mostly on the far left and right notes since that is where you are in danger of "stopping"?
