The book analogy actually wasn't that bad, and to put my own twist in to it... its kinda like reading a book, but if you have so much going on in your life (as most of us do), or you simply find it hard to concentrate, you can find yourself 2, 3, 4 pages in the book, and not even remember most of what you just read. So just like playing pianio, you need to come to play with a relaxed, joyful approach. Put your stress, worries, everyday day problems to the side. Now is your time, your time to give gratitude for being able to play piano or any instrument and make beautiful sounds that touch people. Practice with great focus and intention, and you will not only learn piano, but you also begin to learn deep things about yourself along the way. It's beautiful. Stick with it, get a good teacher if you can. I went deep in this comment lol. I felt inspired, so I had to write something. Love your channel, just found it recently. Thanks for the work you do!

Advice from Franz Liszt how to tackle a new piece: "Liszt's lessons usually lasted two hours; frequently, to illustrate his explanations more clearly, he read some passage from a favorite author, pointing out the connection between music and literature. He outlined a method of tackling a new piece, recommending a student to read it through slowly about five times: the first and second times for accuracy of notes and rhythmic values; the third time paying attention to the dynamics, indicated or implied, as well as details of articulation, accentuation, and the like (he wanted the bass and treble studied separately, seeking how to nuance each); the fourth time looking for points of imitation or hidden themes in the inner parts; the fifth time deciding on the correct speed, and planning accelerandos and ritardandos where suitable. He did not require every piece to be finished to perfection as long as the mood was understood, and he encouraged his students to read a lot of music and broaden their experience." It's from an excerpt from Hilda Gervers' book "Liszt as a pedagogue". It can be found on Lisztomania with 8 pages - the quote I mentioned is on page 3. Thought I'd post that here and there because I remembered that at some time, wrote it down, knew that'd come from Liszt and improved drastically in my practice and sightreading, but I didn't find the passage again until now. It pretty much lines up with the things you also mentioned. Thanks for the great videos, Josh - they really help a lot.

Quick Summary: 1 Optimize enviroment, Clean enviroment. 2 Optimize your instrument, get your instrument tune. Find opportunities to play on better instrument. 3 Optimize your mind. Begin Session with Meditation, Prayer, Gratitude or any other breathing exercise. Relaxed Brain/Mind, relief stress, more effectiveness 4 Listen to Recordings. Inspiration, new ideas, kinda competitive. (Don't be affected by fast tempos, might mess up your practice or ego) !5! Use your mind to LEARN. Focus on what you are practicing. Not robotic practicing. Analyze what you practice. Read carefully, realize what you practice. Careful and focus reading/practice! Piano is not only touch! Use your brain! (My english suck but hope it helps)

@joshwrightpiano3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Shirley. I took an entire semester of Schenkerian analysis in my doctoral studies. Pianists like Murray Perahia (who I greatly admire) swear by it. I personally didn't find it all that helpful even after the semester ended. I still do plenty of formal and chordal analysis though, and highly recommend analyzing in a way that you find most helpful (so, if Schenkerian analysis helps you, I absolutely recommend it).

1. Optimize your environment. (Keep it clean) 2. Optimize your instrument. (Get a better one, get it tuned, enjoy it, or visit a "local friend's house") 3. Begin with meditation, graditute, prayer or a breating exercise to quiet your mind down. Be grateful to have a means of expressing yourselves. 4. Listen to recordings, get inspiration and ideas from them (don't nessecarily try to copy the tempo) 5. Use your mind to learn. Actively think and stay focused. The idea to sit there and remember it not only by playing it, but also absorbing and analysing it (maybe without touching the piano) is an intresting idea I'm definetely gonna try! Also, listen to the way he says "news" at 3:22 it's hilarious.

I feel a little guilty to watch your great video without having yet ordered a lesson to support you. But in honesty i have very limited means. Yet after watching some of your colleagues, I always like to return to your videos as you are most intelligent, and very apt pedagogue and skilled pianist and i always get something from your video. This one is great, i like how you put yourself on the spot, this really helps to envision how to approach practicing. I recently discovered a new mental state to approach practicing that seems beneficial. Instead of practicing under self-pressure , and constantly rejecting one's result like oh no this is not good, but it'll get better. Instead accept your level and say this is YOURS (Say your name) current rendition of the piece as slow as needed (very important) until you can see your current state of advancement with the piece, without lying to yourself, instead of constantly trying to play faster than and hope things will somehow improve by repetition (which by the way is a very frustrating and non pleasing way of practicing). I just imagine that i am actually composing the piece instead of simply reading playing instructions and allow myself to listen a lot to the sound as slowly as needed to not feel ANY hesitation and uncertainty. Only then can i see all the blind spots and what has not been resolved. Then i use a pencil for each and everything i fix. Stopping and taking the pencil to write on the score itself is a huge help to memorization even if later i never read the mark or note i put on the score.

The secret for my dedication is an HOURGLASS. When I stand up, I lay it over. So when I practice an hour, it is a real hour. You can use a stopwatch on the phone; you have to be more disciplined with the phone as it is not as visually compelling as a real hourglass. The other rule is that "Anything Played 5 Times in a Row Every Day Will Give You Progress." Make a counter, or get 5 marbles and a cup and saucer. Marbles around the saucer, work each into the cup with a complete play and repeat til the marbles are in the cup. Good visual incentive as you are not "practicing a half-hour" but instead are "doing the marbles." Especially good for children as it takes the onus off PRACTICING. Child can be encouraged to do a marble anytime through the day. So if it takes an hour for 5 marbles at the beginning of the week, it might take 10 minutes at the end. And you are DONE with that piece's segment. This is your REWARD for slogging through 5 times at the beginning of the week! (And the progress you made inspires you to do MORE at the end, but you don't HAVE TO do more.). It's tricking the brain. 🎯

Unfortunately my piano lessons are in the late afternoon after work and I do so much worse and it really slows progress in class. I do try to spend the few minutes I have before my lesson to 'decompress' but truthfully my mind is all awhirl. I definitely second finding your zone before you begin practice.

I'm sorry to ask this Josh but the memorizing in the last part of the video filled me with horror as I can see and hear myself here.

@joshwrightpiano3 жыл бұрын
Haha I'm not sure I understand. You can see from the video that this was simply a working process. I would vary the speed, analyze different portions of the music, etc. If you go in with the mentality that any mistake you make is going to "ingrain mistakes", then you'll be too afraid to ever take a risk, and you'll never achieve full tempo. Be willing to take that risk, but vary the practicing techniques so you're always making your mind work and think about it creatively

#3 is subtle, but perhaps the most powerful - breathing, meditation, prayer, will no doubt put you in a more positive preparatory state and calm the nerves, allowing for a more relaxed introduction to practice sessions. Having recently recovered from an injury due to what I had thought was over practice, I pondered in my recovery time as to why 4-5 hours a day caused me to become injured while many pianists play for longer, and much more difficult pieces. It came down to one major thing - tension. Each of us might be different anatomically. For me it was the discovery of the in & out principle, wrist rotation, and having perfect hand alignment that adapts continually throughout a piece. The cultivation of total relaxation, I am happy to say, has now allowed me to continue pain free. Thank you Josh, as always for your brilliant insight and selfless devotion to both the art, and to your students.
