Great video Adam , especially for self taught pianists ( like myself ) who sometimes struggle with knowing what to warm up and practice every day and have fun at the same time , thank you 😊👏

The exercise that plays the C octave while toggling the 4th and 5th finger is what I needed. Very difficult for me. I think you read my mind.

Started teaching myself about 3.5 years ago and these exercises and scales were a daily ritual. So glad I did , scales are burned into my brain. Also the hand & finger strength/dexterity was a massive help! Recently started to learn a bit of guitar and my piano exercises have paid off big time!! Keep up the great work Adam, your channel should grow quickly because you're teaching the things people want to learn :).

Blooming heck, Adam! I can tell that once I've got my head around the last two exercises that this is going to be really good. This has encouraged me to dig out my Hanon book too.

20:18 As a fellow Lefty whose left hand is also slightly weaker on the piano, here’s my theory: The treble notes often sound filling the harmony and playing the melody so we’re often playing with 4 or 5 fingers in the right. For most music, the left plays simpler figures (mostly octaves and arpeggios) using only 2 or 3 fingers at a time. This all boils down to the right hand getting more attention even though it may be subconsciously

Great warm up exercise! The last exercise needed more slow repetitions in one key to internalise the notes. It is pretty tedious and frustrating to use the slow speed of the playback and go back and forth.

Hi Adam Again what a fun, challenging video. I am ok with all the exercises up until the last one. I really struggle to change keys that quickly and with the syncopated rhythm on top, just to make it a little easier NOT! I struggle with syncopation when looking at the notation so once I got the riff down, I shall certainly try that without the notation. You really make it fun. I wish I was taught to practise my scales like this back in the 70's when I started the piano. Piano would have much more fun for sure. Thank goodness music teachers and teaching has moved on, enhanced and delivery has improved. I really only started to play my scales like this not so long ago. I really didn't know we should be playing them in this way to drill down the key. It really helps! Of course I used to make my own rhythms up when I was bored but on the whole it would have been straight boring scales, arpeggios and broken chords! I really do wish you had been my teacher but that would have been impossible being as you are probably 20 years, at least, my junior lol! And the 70's were a lonnnnngggggggggg time ago lol! Thank you once again. Love your videos. Can't wait for the community participation etc.

Ah so glad you enjoyed this one! Yes those syncopated rhythms are challenging at the end - something to work towards! Thanks so much for all your support with the channel!

I know this is bit hand holding but I think it would really useful of the triad / circle of 5th exercise to stipulate a direction up/down etc on each chord change ( like you did on another chord exercise video). Cleary in the long run you need to be comfortable moving up or down to a chord and I guess make artistic choices on how that sounds etc. I think I'll slow it down so to start with I can follow what you are doing.

Dear Adam, thanks for your teaching! It‘s always a pleasure to Watch and learn! One question: How much Time You spend on the Piano Daily, for „exercise“ and „Play“?

Hi! Glad you're finding these videos useful! It really varies! Much of my work is as a player/songwriter/teacher - so it really does depend. But just for pure practice I usually find an hour a day is good going!
@Songwriter3763 ай бұрын
I always do Hanon in every key keeping it moderate speed but consistent and same with the scales. Perhaps a bit of Dohnanyi. Keeps me in shape.

I just discovered your channel, and subbed. Great stuff. Why is your left hand "weaker" on the piano? Maybe it's not your hand, but your mind. You seem to be a very musical person, so you might have melodies in your head. (BTW, I don't. I think I have Aural Aphantasia, but I keep trying to play the piano and ukulele despite this). What you might need to do is practice melodic pieces in your left hand. Try playing viola concertos. Or play the Prélude in Do Majeure with just your left hand for a while. I bet once you do that for a couple weeks you'll find a difference.

The struggle is real. A war between my left and right hand
@ozboomer_au9 ай бұрын
Another useful video. What's the strength of the '2 Shape'? ... Is this a lead-in to doing a similar thing with 3, 4, 6 & 7 (so we eventually play each note in the scale with the two hands combined)? How about moving round the circle through inversions? 1st inversion all around.. OR root for C, 1st inversion for G, 3rd inversion for D, etc... and what about minors, diminished, etc.. I can see this becoming huge very quickly 😁
@thekeyscoach9 ай бұрын
Glad you found it useful! Yeah exactly - I’ve got a number of exercises like that as well… it soon gets huge indeed! Thanks for watching!
@ashrafulalam29679 ай бұрын
The reason our left hand is weak is because we tend to start every exercise on the right hand and always put max effort. By the time we do the same exercise on left hand we are already tired and put lesser effort sometimes not even half the time we spend on the right hand. It happens naturally and we unconsciously doing it again and again making our left hand weaker than the right one.
