glissando tip: just play each note individually with each finger 😳 amazing as always, Nahre!

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!! 😀

[@johndcoffee632]

My jaw dropped at that point...

[@joechip1232]

Yeah, as you do XD XD XD Amazing technique :O

:) wuahahaha, could not stop laughing when I saw this comment, brilliant, it made my day! :)! I actually had to go back and check how she did exactly that..

[@jbru9576]

I’ve improved so much during this pandemic because I have so much free time. It’s nice

[@levistgermain5814]

Word 💯

[@DevynWilliams]

My scales, chords, and arpeggios have never been stronger 😂

[@Csaykaman]

Im sad because my keyboard broke during the pandemic

[@AmeeliaK]

Oh you are lucky, I don't really have more time but I'm working at home in the living room where my piano is and it's as if it's calling me to play it 🙂 Sometimes I play the whole lunch break and forget to eat...

[@San2val]

The same for me :)

[@aamidjaythreepointoh]

It’s not just what you’re expressing in these instructionals, but you’re giving people insight into what a professionally and fully expressive musical mind is like. Thanks as always.

[@Hayden_M_Kearney]

Would love to hear your thoughts on Hanon and Czerny exercises.

[@josephalvarez5315]

For me personally hanon has wrecked absolute hell on my forearm and wrist. I get super tense when doing technical excersises like that, so I've started using burgmuller op. 100 and Bach's notebook for Anna Magdalena to warm up instead.

[@eduardovaldesdelrazo2259]

a recipe for carpal tunnel

[@NahreSol]

I have a video on that on my patreon... Maybe i will cover it in another context here in the future we will see...

[@pantoleonantonio9653]

It's just ink on paper. i.e. It doesn't matter what you do as much as how you do it

[@lefudj4236]

My teacher heavily recommended me NOT to use Hanon and Czerny, but id like to have a closer look to why it may be a bad idea tho

[@susiehodge1658]

Very Helpful.

[@m.a.3322]

yessss another video! I know my request will get lost in the sea of comments, but I know you love Liszt as a composer and have fantastic technique. I would love to see you do a technical analysis of the Liszt Transcendental etudes someday! 🥺❤

[@joelra3702]

This timing is impeccable as I just in the last few days hit a wall with my playing after experiencing pain in my forearm from playing too fast. I'm now starting to go back and practice very slowly with a focus on efficiency and relaxation. Have been playing for 10+ years but not until recently have focused on this stuff. Practicing slowly is the key IMO.

[@felixkang5823]

hope u r safe from this pandemic! :)

[@NahreSol]

thank you, you too!

[@leoharfouche4404]

For the chromatic scale, I was taught to use 1 and 3 and for the B-C and E-F intervals to use 1 and 2. For me it is simpler, idk.

[@NahreSol]

Yes! That’s the standard :) the one I showed is for extra speed... many times it has come in handy for me :)

[@Rialas]

Nahre Sol I’ve never seen that chromatic fingering before, but your technique is superb, definitely giving it a go. And those thirds, awesome.

[@eo4295]

Same

[@LucaBonato]

Those scales are brighter than my future. Just started practicing them, I need at least 40 hours a day to get half your speed. Or just use flowkey

[@foxjacket]

Ling Ling wannabes unite!

[@dee6561]

"40 hours a day" LOL You got this as long as you keep at it!

[@efa666]

That chromatic speed is insane! Does that fingering become limiting though? I learned years ago to use 1-3 for white to black and then 1-2-3 when hitting white-white-black, has a nice fluidity to it. Also have you ever listened to Jordan Rudess? Would be interested to hear your take on his work.

[@Ronno4691]

I recently watched the video of Jordan Rudess in the Tokyo music shop quarter and he was doing lightning fast runs without any 'thumb under' and I was transfixed! This here video is the only one that makes such techniques accessible and I've been SEARCHING KZbin for MONTHS for this kind of info as piano teachers just aren't interested in teaching adults!

[@alltheothernamesaretakenlo3705]

Thanks for inspiring me Nahre 👍🏾 when ever I don’t have motivation to play piano, I watch one of your videos because they’re so helpful. You’re so amazing!

[@NahreSol]

So glad, thank you!! Keep it up 😄

[@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5]

I am inspired by Lang Lang, but Nahre inspired me too

[@thegreenpianist7683]

3:42 I find sliding the second finger from D# to E more comfortable and effortless compared to jumping with the thumb in ascending scales, descending is a different story though. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips!

[@dyoneffcennedie2939]

I think it was Godowsky who found that trick haha nice one I think it's much better too

[@BlueGrovyle]

I really appreciate the double thirds tutorial. That's something I've always struggled with, as I'm mostly self-taught and lack that person I can go to for questions like that.

[@joshdistefano149]

Wow, great tips. I really appreciated the info on running chromatics in 3rds. You make it seem so easy!

[@user-km9bx3gf3z]

hey nahre, i gotta say, you've been so helpful for me as a composer. I'm a beginner with my instruments so i haven't personally played a lot. but you did all the work for me with your composer videos, so now i could get whats in my head on to paper, and i can get better ideas in the first place in my head. so thank you so much :)

[@sarahcorvidae3573]

this was so good. I'll come back repeatedly. thank you!

WOW THIS WAS GREAT!!! So much excellent info condensed into a short video. Awesome😀👍

[@yusufbingul467]

All of them were very helpful but the isolated voicing tip was just amazing. Thank you very much

[@KnightSword500]

Hey Nahre, love your videos, I just was wondering, have you considered making a sort of introduction to the piano type of video? Like a "where to start" for beginners, because I just recently started learning piano coming from a very non classical background and it's pretty overwhelming and confusing.

[@gattoranachannel7483]

Nahre I love so much your videos!!

[@TheBen4ever]

3:32 Thank you soooo much, I had no idea how to do that and this system is applicable to all intervals. Genius :D

This was great and it was a pleasure getting to know your hands 🙂

[@bababbab998]

[@stevef.8041]

Thanks so much for NOT "boring" us with too much detailed information on how to play these. Instead, you're just "showing" us and giving our brains even more benefit by making us watch closely and figure out the details for ourselves. I play stringed instruments, but aspire to piano. Love

[@HampsteadPianoAcademy]

*Double thirds tip* : Follow Chopin's own fingering on the double thirds Etudes/ Slide 2th Rh finger from D# to E as well as from A# to B.amazing video!

[@AngeloBassComposer]

This is just what I need. Actually, TODAY was the day I learned how to relax my fingers. This could take my playing to the next level. Thanks, Nahre!

[@Rheesu]

Omg uwu can you please tell me how or where did you learn to relax your fingers?

[@PianoFantasy]

Excellent fingering for the chromatic scale!

[@_Newname_]

These are very helpful exercises! Thank you!

[@beinerthchitivamachado9892]

0:28 How is that glissando even possible?

[@sweetlemon9518]

Right?!

It's actually easier than it sounds. Not saying it's easy, but definitely not impossible.

it is so captivating to see your hands playing...

4:13 Isolated voicing- This is just amazing! Can you do a video where you look at writing songs with this approach, or something along those lines. I'd love to be able to compose stuff like that.

This is one of the most useful piano videos I've ever watched. I've always wondered how to accent an isolated note while playing a chord, and I finally know how to practice this technique. Thank you so much for sharing 🥰

It's so cool to dive into the technical side of other instruments, thank you! (I play viola)

Nahre this was well needed. But a question came to my mind. What fingerings should I use to do arpeggios on chords with mostly black keys?? Thank you for sharing your tips!!

[@theharry801]

tips for chromatic thirds, you can slide the 2nd finger off of Eb or Bb to give a more legato tone,

Hello nahre 🌸🌸🌸 Thank you so much for informative videos , I used to play smoothly few years ago , Now days i got Tendinitus and ganglion cyst on Both hands which makes it hard to practise without pain , Few years ago i suggested you to make a video about practising while avoiding Musical injuries . I know that i should mention this issue in a physical therapist channel But i beleive a lot of musicians can get more benefits from your channel Best of lucks 😁👍🏼🌸🌸🌸

[@dedostiesos2338]

Thank You Nahre Sol

[@franknakasako7255]

prefer the finger here for the chromatic scale then the 1212123 I've been doing :) edit: actually... If you're not starting the chromatic on the E I could see it being a bit difficult to know what finger to begin the scale at.

[@palavoyz]

You can do glissando by using palm with white and black keys.

Thanks for sharing. Great infos -;)

[@Chopinzee613]

1) My problem with glissandos is (assuming you're not fingering each note) how to get it to end on the right note. Any tips? 2) For chromatic thirds: A tip to increase speed is to SLIDE off a black key onto a white key with the SAME finger, rather than using two successive fingers. Thanks for the suggestions! Best, Alan

[@basione]

I love these videos, as I'm always on the lookout for things to do before/in-between practicing pieces. And yes, already bought your warm-up exercises. Many thanks for those as well :)

[@eLbEbOdElPiAnO]

We love you Nahre Sol!

[@quatricise]

Why do my fingers hurt when trying all of those glissandi? Do I just have weak hands or am i doing it wrong?

[@franksonatra]

wrong technique may be it, but i'm no expert either. my hands are also weak as hell from illness so tbh... i can't do glissando anyway. (if any other commenter have tips please help me and the OP, thank you!) but also: are your piano keys heavy? my piano is used and from 1970, pressing every key is like a huge punch that i stumble on practical examinations because the exam pianos are so light... and also on glissando *sobs*.

[@ghnna]

you will get used to it. condition your fingers to not feel pain when doing them

[@hamza12ism]

Would you ever upload a series for beginners in piano ?
