Piano Technique Fundamentals: Body Awareness Training

[@nadiam312]

The best underrated video of all times. I started playing piano and learning on my own for few weeks now and i have been having neck, should blade and upper back pain. I had to stop. I even took 2 private classes but seems not to help at all. The teacher never mentioned i had my elbows glued to my body. She just want to start me playing pieces, while i am in pain. Thank you for this amazing video. You made it so clear , i hope it will help me avoid the pain so i can continue my journey in learning piano. thank you so much

The Piano-ologist is the Bob Ross of piano lessons....with the guided intensity of Bill Alexander.

[@Pianoologist]

Wow, Yvon! I'll take the Bob Ross comparison any day. But I'm not familiar with Bill Alexander. Any suggestion on how I might learn more about him? All the best to you in music and life!

You deserve millions of views! Very helpful. Wish I started with this instead of note reading and tension.

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks a million for your most kind words, Steven. Alas, I cannot compete with the algorithm and huge marketing machines. I just hope that serious students and true artists like you will discover my work someday.

I love watching videos like these!! I have tension when I try to play fast.

Hi Frank, I practice many of these, or at least try to, but still have one problem. When I play with left hand, the fingers I am not using tend to fly up on the press of the finger(s) I am pressing. For example, I play using 2nd and 1st fingers, my other 3 fingers go up. No such problem in right hand. Why does this happen? Any way to correct this?

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks for asking, Manish. Alas, I could not possibly diagnose a technical issue without seeing and hearing what you are playing. I cannot afford to give free lessons, but for a donation to the website, I would be happy to do a webcam lesson with you...piano-ology.com/webcam-lessons/
