Piano Technique: Up & Down, a Lesson in Legato

[@a.a.dehulster7567]

Thanks! Well explained! This really helps to improve my legato. Instead of note wise tone production one plays the groups of notes in one flowing gesture.

It is my pleasure and privilege to be of service.

Music to my ears!

[@GREGLUHOWY]

Thanks, that was informative, clear & concise Demonstration. The view of the Keyboard is perfect.

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks a bunch, Greg... It's funny how many people criticize the camera angle... which of course is centered on middle D and as close to the perspective of the player as I can get without putting an image stabilized camera in place of my eyeballs! Peace!

I have no idea if your piano legato technique is good or not, but you are a first rate instructor.

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks, I think? : )

[@akiwayneukonmaanahoa1590]

Clear? Concise?

[@akiwayneukonmaanahoa1590]

Communicate.well?

[@akiwayneukonmaanahoa1590]

My legato on my guitar is the same as your legato on your piano. You illustrated the point well.

[@huytungquach6493]

Thank you for your videos, I really appriciate that. But legato is still so hard for me!

[@Pianoologist]

My pleasure to be of assistance. All the best!

[@Photologistic]

Hey, I like how you turn and look up at the camera to make your points, I have never seen anyone do that like this. Nice tutorial.

[@dirkhoekstra2999]

[@Pianoologist]

Music to my ears, Dirk! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Gilloringsend]

Hey man your videos are superb. But chr... your neck and back must be under a lot of strain. Thanks they really are intriguing.

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Brian. All the best.

[@arastoomii4305]

this also helps to play pp effortless

[@Pianoologist]

Yes!

[@RollinRocker]

Any particular reason why there's no pic on your avatar? The blue square seems rather plain for a creative guy just sayin...

[@RollinRocker]

You literally just hit every other white key starting at the C and ending at the octave one at a time then backtrack the other way for the chorus. But instead of repeating at the C you glide your way down through other scales. The chorus is actually quite easy if you think of it like that. The rest is a little more difficult .though,

[@Pianoologist]

Thanks a million for the most kind words and the heads up on the avatar pic!
