This was very helpful! I have been playing for quite a long time, but there was a point where I just sorta... stopped getting better? If that makes sense, I dunno. And the reason that was happening was that I have always played with a stiffness in my wrist, hand, and fingers, and the harder the music I tried to learn the harder it was to even play the music accurately and comfortably. For such a long time I couldn't figure out why that was and I had a lot of doubts about if I should even be playing the piano and I stopped for awhile until I got so fed up with NOT playing that I decided I had to figure out why exactly I was having issues (my life is such a mess man). I have since been trying to fix my technique, and your video has been a life-saver. So, thank you!.

In addition to what Josh Wright demonstrated about increasing your speed, have your piano technician check your piano regulation. Specifically, key dip (amount the key travels when depressed), aftertouch, hammer travel, let-off, dampers, and the repetition lever adjustment (in grands) and the backchecks (in verticals). If these parts are out of regulation, it will affect how fast you can play. (There are over 60 steps for regulating a grand piano, not including repairing and replacing of action parts before you can regulate a piano.) Though not part of normal piano regulation, the touchweight/downweight, the force needed to depress the keys, measured in grams, should be checked. If the touchweight is too heavy, the extra force needed to depress the keys will naturally slow you down, and the heavy touch leads to increased hand fatigue which will eventually slow down playing speed. Touchweight needs to be within a certain range (usually about 50 grams downweight) for optimal playing. (Note that too light a touchweight can also be a problem.) Constantly playing on pianos with too heavy a touchweight can increase the chances of hand and finger injuries. A good piano technician can regulate your piano to get the most out its performance, but some pianos have broken down too much or have bad design (e.g. spinet pianos) that there may be a limit to how fast you can play on them. If your piano is in good condition, you might be surprised how much better it plays when regulated. Thanks Mr. Wright for your informative videos.
@Misteribel3 жыл бұрын
This is excellent advice, too often people start learning on third hand, third rate study pianos that have different weights per key, or loose, or hanging keys. This all adds to the stress and takes away a lot of joy in learning to play the piano. Get a (reasonably) good instrument, doesn't have to cost too much, you'll win back the money in playing pleasure. And if your instrument is of good quality, as suggested here, have it checked and regulated by a professional.

I found this very interesting. I've always noticed that when I learn a piece that is fast, I practice it gradually faster until I reach an uncomfortable speed that's just really tough and I can't quite keep up. But then, I stop practicing, relax, come back to the piano and just try a fresh new approach, trying to "feel" like I'm playing slower than I'm actually playing. And all of a sudden, I can continue to play faster and faster until I reach the desired tempo. You just made me realize that it's actually muscular relaxation that allows that. I could feel I wasn't playing the same way, but couldn't quite grasp how. I felt like I was thinking "more horizontally, less vertically". Anyway, I'm gonna try these tomorrow! Thanks a lot!

So good! I think many people fail to see the importance of practicing scales and arpeggios and find them boring because they think of them as exercises. If they start to think of them as music they will be more rewarded. So much of the music we want to play IS scales and exercises that by practising them you are already learning large parts of the pieces you will want to learn in 5, 10, 20 years time. Students don't see this at the outset. Many thanks for explaining these procedures, by the way, I also like the suit and tie. In a strange reversal of the norm, you make them look smart!

As I recall reading about, Glenn Gould's childhood teacher, would lightly and swiftly press Glenn's fingers down for him, and Glenn would do this with his own hands, as a feedback mechanism for how little force it takes in how little time to achieve a fast and light touch. Furthermore, his teacher had originally developed this technique from something he learned about (Shaolin?) monks in there training, or some kind of monk I do believe. Regarding your exercise about releasing immediately before the hammer hits the string, that reminds me of practicing a quick yet relaxed boxing jab....you kind of release and pull back at the last moment.....not following through and slugging into the bag, but "catching a fly"....... and you let the initial force and momentum carry the mass of your body for you. You just get it started, and follow through but not excessively force it.

Unless you are playing on a cheap keyboard synth from the '80's with plastic keys, I can't possibly imagine that to be a problem. I've been rough with my pianos and keyboards (yes, even those $40 synths from the '80's), and I have never broken a key. At least by doing that. Now, faster playing (and lots of it) will eventually wear out the action in an acoustic piano, but even that is repairable. All of that to say, respect mom. If she doesn't want you to "shake the keys," listen to her out of respect, but don't worry about breaking them. They are made to take a beating. 😋

The principal of my music school showed me that 3rd exercise after listening to me play the Appassionata. He compares playing a key to hammering a nail in a wall. If you simply push with the hammer it'll never penetrate the wall. You need to quickly move the hammer away and strike it with great speed. If you simply push the keys while playing, you will not get a clean sound like you would if each key was stroke. However this is incredibly difficult with the 4th and 5th fingers

I draw on my experience as a keyboardist/pianist (with a jazz background) and the practice methods in this video to playing competitive fighting games where you need to execute fast, precise inputs on an arcade stick. I know that sounds kind of goofy, but it is interesting how relevant these concepts are to so many different skills.

The shaking helps a lot! Thanks so much, Josh, for sharing these hints with us! First I made it in a wrong way, shaking both hands together - there was no progress. But now I concentrated on one hand at a time and noticed an immediate progress! Still my pinkie is not perfectly relaxed, but now there is hope that I will get it soon 😁 I am super happy 😁

Awesome tips! I’ve seen genius Seong-Jin Cho shaking his hand (as Josh describes here) while playing slow melodic lines, like in his interpretation of Chopin’s nocturne op. 48 no. 1 in the preliminary stage of the 17th International Chopin Piano Competition. Very interesting.

Your videos are always so helpful. Maybe increase volume of the videos or something like that if possible because your videos tend to be a little quiet 🙆🙆

Incredible.😀😀 I'm an amateur years and years I couln't play phantasie impromtu cleanly even with 100 bpm. If İ try faster it was dirty. But with your technics in a couple of hours I achieve to 110-115 bpm

If you can play it slowly... You can play it fast!!!

No you cannot (though right now I cannot tell if you are making a reference or not). It requires practice.

As an alternative to the press/release exercise, sometimes I just play through a piece a couple times applying extra heavy weight (at top speed, if possible) before applying normal pressure to the keys. I start by overapplying pressure and within a few minutes can play faster and more fluid with less pressure. I've always wondered if wearing something to weigh your fingers down (something like lead rings) would help build finger strength. Though that could possibly do damage as well.

Two beers before practice helps me ---- more than two, your speed goes down the drain, but you don't care.

Very good! I’m a cellist and was just chatting with a pianist friend about playing without tension. Except for the twitch(step one) what I suggested to her was the same that you’ve said. On the cello, the thumb is the source of a lot of tension so my admonition to keep the thumb mobile is fairly analogous.excellent video. Look forward to watching more!
@ericastier1646 Жыл бұрын
i am a pianist and the thumb tension is my big problem in the very etudes he demonstrated in this video. My other fingers are fine and relaxed but whenever the thumb has to play a note (at tempo) with any other finger still stretched the thumb starts tensing, even cramping ! It's crazy and i am on a search to find what i can do. I am intermediate reaching but not quite the first stages of advanced level.

I'm pretty sure he makes plenty out of those masterclasses. There is no point in him trying to make money of this, and like Best of HandofBlood said, there are no ads on his videos.
