I applied this to the piece I'm currently working on shortly after I watched your video and what a difference it makes! You do have to consciously apply, but thank you for the technique. I have to admit, this is NOT what I was anticipating you talking about when I saw the title. I don't think I've seen other piano teachers talk about this practice technique before.

I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for the nice words 🙂 Yeah, it's amazing how easy it is to not realize this is a problem in your own playing until someone points it out. The first teacher I had that pointed this out phrased it like "your arm is faster than you think". She was right, you typically have enough time to move to a new place on the keyboard if you intentionally move fast/early.

Thanks Ryan for sharing your knowledge with that excellent top tip! Really useful. 👍

[@ryanabshier]

You're welcome! Hope it's been helpful in your practice!

Thanks Ryan for sharing the technique.

[@ryanabshier]

You're welcome! Hope it was helpful. Don't worry, the evil Eb will be here soon 😁

Excellent...as an organist I apply this technic to pedaling as well to the manuals!!

[@ryanabshier]

Maybe I should do the same. I took one semester of organ lessons and the feet killed me. 🤣

[@michaelgonda962]

Yeah, seems simple but this is something I catch myself doing all the time. Good tip, thanks Ryan.

[@ryanabshier]

Thanks for checking out the video Michael. Yeah, it's crazy once you notice it how prevalent the problem is. You'll hear people complain about a hard jump and then you see how they're playing it and it all makes sense.

wow I'm currently working on un sospiro, it's perfect

[@ryanabshier]

Oh really? That's awesome, glad you stumbled on to this video then!

That's because we were trained from young to not let go of the note until there's a rest and make it sound as legato as possible even when the Sus pedal is down. This is how it's being taught today and it's no wonder people can't play the piano after learning for years and years.

[@ryanabshier]

Very true. Many teachers teach super legato or super staccato, but we often need to be able to "get out of the keys", as they say. Not staccato, but let go. So often if students get to the collegiate level they get yelled at for being "stuck in the keys" or the opposite "always playing short while pedaling", but it's because they were never taught different touches.
