O man... This definitely helps, especially for self taught peeps like me. Honestly I feel like I learned these tricks already, from experience, but now there's an actual explanation. And I had a friend taught me he long short short long trick , and it really does amazing Kinda sad that it took me this long to learn this, if only you made this video, and I watched it back when I was still starting... Waiting for part 2

Wow man that was a fantastic video! I especially liked how you went into some things that are always kinda left unspoken and implicit. Good job, I'm really looking forward to part 2! :D There's one thing I wanted to add about the rythms at the end for runs (because you said you didn't really know how to explain it). My teacher told me these rythms are the last step of practicing/perfecting the runs, and here's why. You first practice them like anything else (without special rythms or anything) and they eventually go into muscle memory, to the point where you're not thinking about individual notes anymore even if you slow down the tempo. Bringing in the rythms shakes this up, and indeed your brain and fingers become much more aware of each single note and movement again. You are basically re-cementing the run to give it this final polish. Wisdoms from my teacher which I definitely "felt/experienced" while doing the rythms :)

Ahh that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for sharing! I will say though, I start doing rhythms pretty early in my practicing. Like I'll read and practice slow, but once I've got it a bit in my fingers and the tempo is starting to come up slightly, I'll throw in some rhythms and that helps out too.

One item you didn’t mention, how long can it take to learn the hard parts? 1 day, week, month, longer? Also, any recommendations on taking breaks and for how long to spend on the hard section in one sitting? And where were you 50 years ago when I was first leaning piano, oh right, no internet and no KZitem. Lol. I WISH my teacher had beaten even a few of these strategies into me. I would be in a far better place, even though I did get pretty good. Picking it all back up again now after a long break. Thank you!!!

Ayyy I’ve been waiting for this! Edit: Before I never practiced songs in a slow tempo and I always struggled playing the wrong notes. I always just played it fast and missing so much notes. I now will take these advices seriously and practice slowly and without the pedal to get the note memory in my head. About the metronome lol I probably should learn how to use it haha. Thanks a lot Watt for these wonderful tips! ^^ 7:45 ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o) lol

I'm having big problems with bars 29-32 and 124-127 from Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement because of those trills on top of the octaves. I also find the fingering written on the sheets quite strange. I'm not struggeling with the rest of the piece, only these two passages still cause problems for me, even after a month and a half of daily practice. Do you have any tips for me?
@WattKeys
3 жыл бұрын
Few thoughts: 1) Depending on how fast you're playing, you can get away with just playing a turn which would be a lot easier and potentially even clearer, 2) If you're still stretching all the way out in the octave position, I'd say relax your hand to hit the trill and then bounce it back out because the next octave is on a strong beat anyways, which then helps indirectly a bit with phrasing 3) If you're struggling to trill 5-4, try 5-3, 4) think of driving off the first note and using that momentum to carry through the rest of the trill. Hope that helps!

I also have tip to people Who Are stuck in a place on a piece: Well i have Bern practising on fur Elise for a while and its especially one place that i have been struggiling with, But What has helped me is to write down the name of the notes under the notes and then i found a system and i understood, and Also take it easy this is a tip from my clarinet lessons But i will say the same tip to piano, dont take it fast to learn a piece you need to take it slow at first and then i mean with no tempo start with the first note and then another and then another and when you have done that a couple of times u Can take it in a slow tempo then a little faster and faster and faster. I have never took piano lessons But my parents have both played piano and i have played clarinet for 4 years Im on my 5th yr now. Im 12 yrs btw

Great video! 1 question, I find that playing with a metronome on anime music messes my mind a lot because of the syncopation, to the point where the timing and rhythm is worse compared to me not using the metronome. Do you have any tips on how to counter this?
@WattKeys
3 жыл бұрын
I think what you can try first is instead of using the metronome on the quarter (or whatever the time signature is), you can do the 1/8th to help with locking in the specific rhythms and begin to develop the feel. After you lock in the rhythms, I'd switch back to the 1/4 in order to help with feeling the strong beats/weak beats while maintaining that rhythmic accuracy and switch back and forth as needed. Hope that helps!

I think people are generally motivated either by the journey or the results. Some people really want to be able to play their "bucket-list" or dream pieces whereas others may genuinely enjoy the grind and practicing. I'd say figure out which one you lean more towards and use that to help motivate yourself to practice!

I have a good advice. If you're struggling with a hard piece, you gotta practice for AT LEAST 10 minutes, take a short break, then practice for 10 more minutes, and after that convince your self you'll never play it, get sad, and start watching videos about how to learn hard pieces, knowing deep down, it's not gonna help (._.) No, i'm not saying it from my experience *you are*
