I've practiced Zach's Finger Gauntlet every day for three years. It is my "warm up" for the first ten minutes of every day's piano practice. It's easy. It works. It's been the most helpful tool I was fortunate to come across at the beginning of piano study at age 68. Four years later, my daily practice still begins with the Finger Gauntlet and I give it credit for the foundation of muscle memory allowing me to play with confidence, Chopin's Prelude in E Minor, Bach's Prelude in C Major, Beethoven's Fur Elise, Debussy's Clair de Lune and now, Lecuona's Malaguena. Zach's Finger Gauntlet is a backbone tool to warm your fingers, obtain rhythm and the joy of developing muscle memory. Thank you Zach! Keep 'um coming. All the best, Elise

Hi Zach! I am in my 3rd day of practice. What I really want to say is "Thank you" for making this available. I took one semester of piano in college 35 yrs ago. I did ok. Couldn't let anyone hear me play. Never really practiced like I should. Now, 71 yrs old. Just received a lovely Yamaha keyboard. Excited. I'm working on what you say about being able to do this if I just follow the technique and practice. I'm a little nervous about the lack of confidence i have, but I"m going to truly give it a try. Looking forward to that satisfaction of really knowing how to play. Thank you, again. I am excited. Blessings to you.

My guitar teacher eventually said that I'd be better learning piano as my brain apparently thought like a piano player according to him, whatever that means 😂 Thank you, looking forward to playing my first tune!

something I like to point out is when you are looking to speed up, use a metronome and do it in short burst, start slow then work the speed up but you must learn to also push yourself. if you stay in your comfort zone too long you wont make progress. I know this as I've wasted a lot of years on guitar by not challenging myself enough and pushing the boundaries. it doesn't happen over night, stick to it and you will see results.

This is very helpful. I’ve learned how important muscle memory is. About two years ago, at age 64, I took up piano after a 30 year hiatus. My previous teacher had taught me several bad habits that were hardwired, and after all that time they were still there!. I had to “unlearn” them , which at my age was a bit of a challenge. The only good news about this is that I became aware of this problem early and have been careful ever since.
