Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I'm Robert Estrin. Today I'm going to share with you the ultimate wrist exercise for your piano technique. Wrists are so important in piano playing! Everyone knows that you need to use your fingers in order to play the piano. But the fingers don't do you much with fast chords and octaves. It's very hard to play octaves with your fingers with the exception of legato octaves. But when something is fast, there's no way the fingers can keep up. You have to use your wrists! If you use your arms, it's cumbersome. You can't go fast enough! The wrists are also incredibly important for chord technique. There are some chord techniques that are slower and bigger where you use your arms in order to get maximum power. But in most instances, the wrists must be utilized. The arms are just too big and slow.
This is seriously the most underrated channel for piano learning
I completely agree!
100% I can’t believe how long it took me to find this channel- I feel like I can actually improve now
Great demonstration! I always found your videos very helpful and referred to my students.
Robert, thank you for this video but also thank you for helping me figure out what was missing from my Clementi Sonatina years back! Take care and keep up the great work
Great technical points, very well demonstrated.
I can appreciate it's importance and will practise this every day.
Gee you play very professionally.
Thank you very much.
You are very easy to listen to.
Just what I needed! Thank you!
Thanks, Robert.
Thanks Robert.🎉
Thank you, Robert, for this excellent exercise. I am sure it will help strengthen my wrists as well as make it easier to maintain looseness and ease as I play. Will add it to my daily practice routine starting today.
Thank you. Great concise, focused explanation in this and many of your videos. Much appreciated.
You are a great teacher!
Very helpful. New information for me! Thank you.
Thank you, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you sooo much for this. I feel like you made this video specifically for people like me who have very small wrists that are not very strong! There are some pieces I cannot do because my wrist grow numb and I, in turn, start playing the piece way too fast just to get it over with. I really didn't know how to strengthen my wrist (I know of different exercises but not piano exercises), so I appreciate you telling us this!
Also: should we apply a faster or slower beat on the metronome? Or should it just be the same speed (and what speed do you put your metronome on)?
Piano teacher here!
My advice is start wherever you are comfortable
I wasn't paying attention to the video, then when he was demonstrating the practice 3:19 I thought I heard the Windows pc crash sound
I actually try to avoid exercises on the piano. If I want to work out a particular joint, or muscle, I do it away from the piano. I do some exercises on a piece of memory foam, or with a little dumbbell. I find that if I work my muscles away from the piano, then upon sitting at the piano, I can coordinate everything much more effectively.
@JC Gible exercising is antithetical to playing music. coordinating is an entirely different thing, akin to choreography, and should done at the piano.
Great!!!
It doesn't look very healthy and natural to stop the movement in the air.
The downwards movement of the hand itself is fine, but after hitting the key the hand should jump back like from a trampolin. Then getting a little impulse when at the highest point (no interruption!).
have you tried jumex mango nectar
And the back is straight. Then you start to slouch then the shoulders start to roll in then, the head start to lower, then the back starts to roll forward and before you know it you have rolled up into a ball. Then possibly Zzzzzz Zzzzzzz Zzzzzz
Hahahahaha Shaun Tirrell sleeps under the piano to maintain vibrations the night before a concert!!! ❤️❤️❤️🎹😴
