[@AlucardMorgurth]

Dude I have been a guitar player for over 12 years and I was wondering how to take my scale runs to a Piano and this is exactly what I was searching for, thanks bro!!!

[@leonardomontanha7053]

hi Alucard ,if anyone else trying to find out learning how to play piano online try Nadazma Simple Piano Helper ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbor got great results with it.

[@omega3battyacid878]

When you learn something in spite of any fear or mental blocks you've built up over time regarding the subject, you know you're watching a great tutorial. This is that.

[@webpianoteachershawncheek]

That's what I'm here for! Shawn :)

[@chedenbur]

I like the way you have the notes for the viewers to see and learn as well as showing the finger works on the piano. Thanx :)

[@tekenat]

This is my testimony. Im so excited right now. Im commenting again 30 mins after the previous. 30 minutes ago, I didnt know how to play scale runs AT ALL. I always saw it as a huge task. It really doesnt take years or months to learn like you said( not with your method). I just did it in 30 minutes. OMG

[@stevecampos1960]

I’ve been playing for almost 50 years and am a pretty good player, but always struggled with scale runs (this is where piano lessons would have been helpful). This was eye-opening as to why I struggled (grouping!)! Thanks!

[@kpec3]

best advice I've ever seen on piano, I'll try it soon

[@mandaJt]

Yes! This is how I teach scales now (since about 5 years ago). My teacher taught me this method when i was working on an exam because I had trouble remembering where the black keys were in a bunch of minor scales. She also added the concept of paying attention to where the black keys were.. black and white patterns.

[@markrusso5842]

I've been playing piano for a year now and the only technique I've needed to learn better was running my scales. This video has helped me so much and I practice this at least 15 minutes a day on multiple scales. Great job and thanks for the expert lesson.

[@ThaWolfe1]

Finally, teaching that makes sense! Thank You

[@viralbuthow000]

Yes. Also what helped me is making sure the knuckle of my thumb is touching the key rather than the tip of my thumb. It's a strength thing. Probably doesnt work for everyone though

[@milesgates492]

I've never played scales before but this is a fantastic introduction and has got me off to a half-decent start. Thank you.

[@robynmcmillan]

Thanks so much! I struggle to do my scales fast and I think it was the angling problem...... Really cool tips!

[@willibass2]

got it buddy, thanks,, now to practice it

[@yavalang]

I just detected this video and I had success immediately, thanks a lot, my problem was the missing angle!!!

[@jakklovediablo6293]

holy cow no one teach me about this tips angle and group practice , i just want to hug you bros this is what i was looking for

[@webpianoteachershawncheek]

you're welcome! shawn

[@jakklovediablo6293]

I'm a beginner and practice czerny at first excersice and can't get pass 90 bpm 16 notes because sound quality really bad then i use your tip i get to 120 bpm just only couple hours of practice and now still working on Many Thanks!!!

[@webpianoteachershawncheek]

@@jakklovediablo6293 Great! Glad to hear it.

[@terryadamo-bassist7213]

Great info. This will advance my level quickly, thank you man!

[@DamonLarionov]

Exactly what I was searching for. Thank you!

[@JoshWithrow]

I have been looking for something like this for some time! Thank you!

[@bokonski1996]

This was INCREDIBLY helpful, thank you so much!

[@SandroMassarani]

Great explanation. Thanks!

[@markdecinal560]

2:01 my answer yeah dude that's what i do, coz i've been like self studying and as I am not too much familiar with the music terms i can't google up what you call what you are doing right now nc tutorial though hahaha

[@HannahIm]

Thank. This was really helpful for me. :-) Especially the part about hand shape.

[@janiboicastino8937]

this is what i'm looking for!!! thanks teacher..

[@earthcitizen57]

Great tutorial. Many thanks.

[@migzadawan7772]

I wish you could answer this.. I am a great piano reader when i was 8 yrs old.. but then i learned how to play by ear... and after learning it... my note reading decreased... its hard for me to read notes and apply it on the piano... how can i improve my reading skills again.. i mean my fast note reading... Sorry for my english.. :)

[@kumudlekhok4461]

Randomly saw this and this is good mate, Keep up the good work (y)

[@sebi2205]

Thanks, man. I was looking for something like this!

[@therandeydenyah]

Just what I needed...thank you

[@jenniferindy6628]

Should i be able to go up and down the scales with both hands simultaneously??? Having difficulty since crossovers aren't at same moment... making my brain hurt trying!!!

[@jenniferindy6628]

Nevermind.. finally nailed it...looks easy.. actually kinda hard! Doing flight of the bumble bee arr. Rachmaninoff and scale practice is helping. 👍😊

[@uroko2993]

The angle is very important, I found it on Martha Argerich's(a lot of pianists, do watch their wrist angle and thumb) playing from a top view camera. But I still couldn't run evenly and fast on the chromatic scale, just need more practice.

[@joelmanzano8761]

hi Shawn, thank u for that effective technique. I just want to ask a favor, can you show us how to play quarter triplets that has 3 on top of the 2nd quarter note? hope to hear the answer from you. this confused me.

[@levistgermain5814]

How would you do this in the black keys ? Like for example C # ?

[@bikedawg]

How come you don't do scales in the thumb over method?

[@tw33ty4u]

This was really timely but does the same rules apply for scales on A major f# and E major/ Eb? Would be good on fingering scales on theres alot of teaching vids are on c scale. Thanks

[@dathyr1]

Thanks Shawn for the great lesson. I wanted to know does this also apply to doing triad arpeggios(example C triad) up and down the keyboard far as doing the Angle. And do you have to use a larger angle to get the crossover thunb on the next set of three notes in the chord. Watching other good players doing arpeggios, it always looks like their wrists are straight out, not angled and the thumb crossovers are very smooth. take care, DaveT

[@Juinor]

a super rare technique with soft ball hard to nuts and hands. great video..

[@Juinor]

stoqn hristozov oh thanks, will try.

[@LithiaSinclair]

+stoqn hristozov this is extremely rude to post under someone else's tutorial!

[@michspence3425]

Hi! Great tips! I'm trying to get my arpeggios in debussys clair de lune to go faster...I assume the same technique can be applied?

[@adammd718]

What part of Texas are you in and do you give private lessons?

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

[@BenjaminGessel]

Outstanding... :)

[@nekonesto1644]

+BenjaminGessel if you want to learn how play piano scales, you should google:renkarter perfect piano report.

[@BenjaminGessel]

+Neko Nesto Nah, I've actually studied music in college-that is my major, and I teach composition, horn, and piano. Anyone that claims that you can play piano like a pro in 30 days is full of crap. You need to practice for years and years before you're any good...

[@Phrotoh]

how do you do it if you're going from high notes to low notes?

[@Phrotoh]

+Phrotoh nevermind you answered it

[@GravityDoesHurt]

Thank you so much. :)

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Gold! thanks

[@tanhongzhi2637]

when i play scales fast, i unintentionally accented the note which the thumbs play. what to do?

[@rawr3122]

Tan Hong Zhi practice scales slowly making sure every note is equal in loudness.

[@canefan17]

Good stuff

[@jacobdunn7741]

Thank you so much

[@mosadsadawy9231]

dont forget to be realistic - you will need to put in some work whichever system you follow for learning Ukelele I have spent months studying different systems and discovered a fantastic resource at Arthurs Uke Blog (google it if you are interested)

[@xKawaiNekox]

and then ...( slips ) AH..AHH! Haha thanks , really helpful!

[@pianolessonsrich6592]

HI:happy to finally find someone who can help me. I was flying by the seat of my pants alone. the person who was supposed to be helping me got tired of doing it and dumped me. by the way left handed people are smarter. Of course i am left handed. see you tomorrow morning in class at 9 am anna

[@garth428]

Thank!!

[@louiswitherspoon2212]

[@MoofManiac]

This is excellent! I’m classically trained also, and knew about tucking my thumb under right after I used it to develop speed, but never was taught about the angle....I’m trying tto start playing again after being seriously ill for many years. Subscribing to webpianoteacher.com is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Thank you!

[@IsThisHowUDoThat]
