This tutorial is about how to play octaves on the piano. Octave technique on the piano presents unique challenges, because it's hard to play accurately and fast, and playing octaves can cause tension and stamina issues.
In this video I share with you two ways of playing octaves: loud, from the arm; and soft, from the wrist. I also give you tips on relaxation and advice on practicing octaves.
The exercise I use is a double-octave exercise that follows major and minor scale patterns.
This video is part of a series about the Dohnányi finger exercises I play and teach the most, out of the book "Essential Finger Exercises" by Ernst von Dohnányi.
