A great excercise to increase your hand span on piano

Increase your handspan with this great excercise. You will be able to gain a tone within few weeks of practicing.

[@Melviora]

great exercise, but im not sure if it actually increases hand span but it does relieves me of my tension when i play. thanks :)

[@agneteht]

I have increased my span by practice, I have bigger span tha friends with longer fingers.

[@Melviora]

@@agneteht I think it's a genetic thing to be fair.

[@agneteht]

@@Melviora like I said, I have increased my span. I stopped playing for 22 years but over the last 6 months I've succeeded in executing chords I never could hold by increased finger strength and hand strength (especially the back of the hand which seems to give me the extra stretch and more flexibility). I used to give up because of so many "you either have it or don't". But at 44 I no longer give a shit and it's been a real eye-opener, we are far more likely to achieve what we think is possible and I won't make my fingers longer but I can make the most of my hand.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJyco2upi6yVbZY Check out first exercise, it can be done... also these ones you have added are great mate so thanks

[@fisheatsyourhead]

@@agneteht spot on - growth mindset is very important for improving in any skill. why stop short of your potential best just because it might be slighly lower than the best's potential? deliberate practice will always result in improvement.

I can’t do a ninth and I can barely do a octave so on moonlight sonata I have to use two hands to play a minth

[@maychan9628]

I’m 10 and I can do a ninth

Thank you for the tips

You're welcome!

[@dey12956]

Thanks bruh. Gonna give it a try! Currently barely tenth, hope I can reach it comfortably with a sixth in it someday

[@TotallyNormalbruv]

Cool

[@jesusislordsavior6343]

Try alternating the stationary note with the moving part, e.g. c-d flat, c-d, c-e flat, c-e, etc. Feel free to rock the hand gently from side to side, increasingly with larger intervals. Do the same in reverse with the upper part stationary, e.g. c-b, c-b flat, c-a, c-a flat, etc. But do this with ALL TEN possible pairings of fingers (12, 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, 25, 34, 35, 45), starting on ANY chromatic note. DIVERSITY and FLEXIBILITY of physical responses is key to USEFUL acquisition of stretch. DO NOT insist on addressing the key vertically downwards at all times, nor striking 'forte'-------------otherwise, stiffness and contraction of muscles may ensue, and the value of practice may be lost. All kinds of seventh chords (including diminished, half-diminished, minor, 'dominant', major, and augmented major) can be practised in ALL keys and ALL inversions, not only with standard fingering but ALSO WITHOUT THUMB and WITHOUT FIFTH FINGER. This can be done in broken OR solid form. Arpeggios of the same type help develop stretch and keyboard harmony skills at the same time. Playing HYMNS without pedal and with finger substitution to maintain legato can be VERY HELPFUL. Mostly importantly, believe in the Lord Jesus and place your progress at the keyboard in His hands. 'Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.'

Hi, it's pronounced span like Ann. Thanks for the help.

Thank you!

I can barely barely do a ninth i’ll keep and update tho for you guys

How’s the prog

[@l3oke.tto_0926]

i came here for a 12th note possibly a 13th

[@EnderElohim]

currently i'm reaching to 9th and gonna start doing that exercise so let see what gonna change

[@maximilianus147]

Any progress yet?

[@JocelynForget1]

I am curious too to know if you are getting progress, thanks

[@EnderElohim]

@@JocelynForget1 now i can reach 9th faar more easily it was kind of barely there before but i dont think i can reach to 10th

[@EnderElohim]

@@maximilianus147 9th my limit XD it just make it easier and that also good

[@bingliu1909]

Same I can reach 9

[@starryarim]

Im 13 and I can reach 10th is it great?

[@viggos.n.5864]

Its good Im 13 and can play an 11th I think if you can play at least an 11th you should be fine

[@ameliashandcraftedmemes7888]

You only need to do a 9th for most songs. An 11th is quite rare

[@shevinperera6334]

Isaac Bolton when I started playing piano an year ago I could only reach a 9 th now I can reach an assisted 11th my first piece itself had octaves in it so I think just constant stretching and practice can rapidly increase your handspan

[@ameliashandcraftedmemes7888]

@@shevinperera6334 That's exactly what has happened with me. I used to only be able to get a 9th and now I can get an 11th assisted because I have been doing lots of exercises. Doing it only a year after you started would really help you improve quickly. I'm 9 years in.

[@lawrenceyang9959]

Not bad. I’m 21 and I can only reach 10th. Are you tall?

[@eGrandma]

I can reach 6ths ):

[@elweewutroone]

This means that in order to play octaves, you need to break the chord! To play two notes an octave apart quickly, you need to do a Liszt and jump around on the keys!

[@mate_on_f7916]
