Glad to hear that. This was one of the difficult topic to explain, so it took me a while to make this video.

The best example i naturally imagine is the body movement of a ballerina, the way they dance on their toes but its the whole body moving elegantly. Also, the punch of a boxer is from the whole body, not just the hand. I think Lang Lang's hands movement is very brilliant and the Russian's hands moves very elegantly, they have their unique exaggerated balle like style for this.

Those are very good examples!

I have a question about piano books - are the RCM preparatory levels actually worthwhile? I’m going to start teaching 2 brand new beginners for the first time and need to know whether they teach all the concepts needed, like note reading, and basic technique. So, basically, do they work like piano adventures books? Or are they just collections of pieces like all the other levels?

I'm not familiar with RCM books. In general, all method books are meant to teach all the concepts you need in systematic order. It's up to the teacher to choose the one that makes most sense. Every series has pros and cons, so you'll still have to tweak or supplement as you go.

That was one of the first video that got this channel going. Totally unexpected :)

@@AkiraIkegamiChannel no, i dont mean Hanon but Canons, the finger independent exercises. I have kunz canons but they are too tough. Edit: I think Schaffer's Sight reading book does contain good mind jumbling practice that I am looking for hand independence. It's amazing. I shouldnt have jumped directly to Kunz canons, it was too much for me. I am always too impatient, this is why i couldnt improve

Sensei,I've got struggle with sight reading.Do you have any technique to read faster?😄

@AkiraIkegamiChannel 6 ай бұрын

I'm not a great sight reader either, but sight reading is a combination of good understanding of theory and lots of lots of practice. Sometimes you have to drop some notes or make things up to keep going.

Mr ikegami have you ever played volleyball and would you consider it helpful regarding strength to the piano

@AkiraIkegamiChannel 6 ай бұрын

You don't need much strength to play the piano, although it doesn't hurt to be strong. I'm more worried about hand injury from volleyball :)

hmmm - this seems different from most everything else I've seen -- certainly different from both Taubman or Leschetizky and seems to be the opposite of Leschetizky - are you familiar with those? This does not seem very helpful ...

@AkiraIkegamiChannel 6 ай бұрын

I'm familiar with Taubman, but not never really learned it deeply. If any of those is working for you and you are happy with your current technique, this video is not helpful to you. If you clicked on this video because you want to explore other methods, that's a different story :)

@velcroman11 6 ай бұрын

His method is equivalent to Taubman and Leschetizky. If you review what both men actual wrote.

@@AkiraIkegamiChannel I see -- thank you for clarifying. I clicked on it because I usually find many of your videos very helpful - :-) But this one seems very strange -- unlike anything I've seen or heard from any of the other main piano channels or actual teachers I have had; I have not seen this before. I think in the final analysis, the entire playing mechanism -- fingers, hand, wrists, arms, shoulders, torso, back, legs, feet -- are required to make many different adaptations (rotations, flexing, etc.) to accomodate rendering the music, so each isolated technic is only part of the entire spectrum of actions needed. No single movement is "THE" correct movement.

@AkiraIkegamiChannel 6 ай бұрын

That's a very good way to put it. All the techniques I've heard of seem to be pointing to the same goal: most natural technique that'll allow you to play beautifully. I'm probably just seeing and explaining it differently.

@@velcroman11 If you could please refer me to the sections where they wrote that I would love to see it (and Dorothy Taubman was not a man ...) . I've not seen anywhere in either Taubman or Leschetizky where the wrist is raised as Akira is showing. Taubman is more about rotation along the axis of the arm, and Leschetizky is just about the opposite -- start from level wrist, drop wrist, catch and transfer the arm weight into the fingers, and return wrist to level -- not higher than.
