+From Murz Thanks so much! I appreciate your encouragement, especially in the music world where so many people can be petty and rude. Have an awesome week, and all the best in your studies!
@@joshwrightpiano Do you have some advice or it is stupid question: I have learnt minuet in g and I forgot so do I have to learn it again like I did first time,
After 12 years of studying piano this is by far the best advice I've heard about piano practice. I really think this is pure gold, like the most important lesson to progress in piano playing, I think following this advice separates a average pianist from a great one. To give this to us is a great act of humility on your part. I hope to meet you some day.
Josh, I’m 68 and started playing again last year after a 30 year hiatus. I’m playing better and more advanced works than I ever imagined and have a terrific teacher. These tutorials have been very helpful as “supplements” to me lessons. Learning how to practice is essential. Thank you so much!
What's so profound about this advice, Josh, is it's simplicity. I've used it and it really works. How do you chop down a mighty oak tree? ...One chop at a time! Thanks, once again for putting this video up.
Great video. This was what I took away: "You burden your practice sessions when you practice old material constantly. Once you've learned it... move on, learn new stuff." The comments about building repertoire are also gems. Will be watching more. Wonderful stuff. Thank you
You are so right about "seasoning" time. (I call it "cooking time.") Setting something aside is not just OK, it's a necessary part of the learning process. Your brain actually needs to let new things roll around in your head for awhile and let them "cook." I can't count the number of times I have put something aside for a couple days, a night, an afternoon walk, or even just a shower, to come back and find I can play it better than I was playing it before I took a break.
9:34 “things take time to season”. That is the lesson I learned in my last concert (last week). I had to learn something completely new for it in 2 days (3rd day was the concert). When the first day ended I was exhausted and I thought I wouldn’t be able to learn it in time. When I woke up on the 2nd day it was in my system, all of that frustration and hard work payed off! What I couldn’t play on the first day went so naturally on the (maybe even second day) 3rd day.
Awesome. Thank you for your support. Also try using the techniques described in the "Free Hands" video - it should help you with that passage. Good luck!
Wow. This is exactly what I needed to know. I always had the feeling that my practice sessions were ineffective, chaotic, and unnecessarily long. And I knew I would find a solution to this problem in one of your videos!
I wish I learned this in my youth instead of my thirties. Pieces that frustrated me in my youth now make sense with more patience. And I only have 1 hour at most to practice a day! Thanks for this video.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions! I'm 60 and started taking lessons again 10 years ago after stopping at age 14 to play sports. (Yes--that is a terrible idea!) I have been adding line by line and repeating the first over and over. Changed to your way and progressed much faster!
Cool thoughts. When I practice, I know how tempting it is to "keep adding" as you called it, either before or after the part that I'm working on. So I put sticky notes on top of the measures before and after whatever part I'm working on. That way, unless the piece is all memorized, it forces you to stay focused on the exact part you need to work on and nothing more. And sticky notes are easy to take on and off and move around the music page. It also works great for my students.
TL;DW: Split piece into small segments. After mastery of 1 segment, move on to next. After mastery of all segments combine them into larger ones and practice. DO NOT FURTHER MASTER 1 SEGMENT UNTIL ALL OTHER SEGMENTS ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL OF MASTERY.
As a pianist coming from a different musical world (i.e. contemporary Christian music), these principles have helped to improve my playing, and accuracy in one session of applying them to my practice. Excellent and superb content. Top drawer, first-rate and all the rest. Thank you.
I find the way you identify something that you are doing has taught me how valuable to be able to "Name" what it is that I am doing no matter how short it is or long. Being retired and old -- I find it has actually started causing my memory in everything in life to be getting better. Identify -- Name -- Remember is my motto now. Thanks Josh.
Youre so right about the two to three day break. I am surprised sometimes that even without really focusing on one part, I could play it perfectly two days after my practice session. I think you sometimes just have to let go and let your subconscious do the work for you. Its really stunning what a brain can do.
Thank you very much Josh, i started playing the piano a year ago. And i was adding and strugling. Thank you for the advice, after one week i can feel the positive effect of this.
This is what I have been doing! I've said to myself, okay I've built the muscle memory for this section, and straight away i'll move on to the next piece. So what I find is that In practice, if someone says to me, play this section, I can't play a specific section. I have to play all the way through to get the place that I want to practice!
+Athos Musketeer That is part of the beauty of this method! It helps us be prepared to start anywhere. It's a great skill for confidence that if we mentally lose our place we can quickly pick up at any point. With that anxiety resolved, it's less likely to happen
Josh do you have any advice for new learners on how much time we should spend practicing/perfecting appropriate level pieces, how much time we should spend studying music theory, and how much time we should be spending on technical skills like scales, arpeggios and so on. Thanks!
I know this is repetitive but it's worth saying. Thanks for the advice! It's encouraging to see someone who knows what goes on in the minds of growing pianists (being a pianist yourself) and can assure us that these techniques do work, since we see your own progress. Really appreciate it!
Such a great video!! I've often found when I can't quite get something correct, I'll take a break from it, come back to it, and suddenly I can play it with little work.
Excellent advice! That’s exactly what I was NOT doing! Starting tomorrow I’m going to do what you demonstrated here. Thank you as always for your great lessons!
Excellent advice regardless of one's level. Very helpful for me as I've recently started focusing on solo piano. Having an approach like this will keep me moving forward without getting overloaded with material. Thank you.
I may only know three chords in a piece of music but until I learn the others I will play those three every way imaginable with all the expression within me and with all the technique I have learned and with all my spirit. I will make a buffet meal out of those three chords, I will play them like a Grand Sonata on a concert stage.
One thing that I think is worth adding is the number of repetitions per small pattern. According to brain research the number of times that is necessary to make something stick (whatever fits your smallest individual set of patterns) is 8-10 times. That is enough for your brain to store whatever pattern you associated into your long term memory.
"We have to all go at our own pace. Don't get down on yourself." Well said. And thank you for sharing your mindset, it's full of wisdom. Your method is like chunking, the best way to eat an elephant -- one bite at a time. I'm putting this into play immediately.
Josh, Thank you for this video. There’s so much to unpack here, I feel your advice goes above and beyond just focusing on mastering one piece and then moving on to the next and then putting things together. How do you suggest developing one part of a piece step by step? And, is there somewhere a summary of your learning strategy advice? Thank you again.
I like this advice. For young students, I'll often advise practicing to the next downbeat, and then the the next fragment _from_ that downbeat to the next. Often this doesn't fit the actual phrase, but it can create a strong link so that then putting together the two sections is seamless. What do you think of this approach?
Thanks for the info, Josh. It's never too late to learn but I wish I'd seen this lesson 6 months ago as I feel that I could have been a lot further along by now. Very much appreciated.
Hey Josh, thank you very much ! Your videos have helped a lot in shaping my musical learning and studying. Regards from Brazil !! Keep on posting these wonderfully useful videos!!!!
I first play, the best i can, the entire thing once or twice and note what parts are similar. Then i work amedium difficulty section. After that the hard sections. By saving the easier sections for the very end, it gives me a lot of momentum when i put it all together.
Hi, Josh! Thank you very much for your videos. They are excellent! This particular video catched my attention because this is what I have been telling my students for years, and it works so well for them! (And for me too). But I add something: if they are working poliphony, I make them sing each voice separating phrases, and only when they have understood them properly, they can play those fragments with all the voices together. Then I ask them to sing specific voices while they play and it is amazing how all the articulations are in their place almost instinctively. Also, when the students are in their first years, one thing that works very well for them is not to separate the music by bars, but for positions of the hand, and also I make them end the fragment never in the last note, but in the first notes of the next fragment. After many years I understood that at least in certain types of music at certain levels this method helped the students to achieve two very important goals: 1.-) They don't see and play the music as something vertical, but horizontal. They pay more attention to the global speech first, and then they work on the details much better, because they discover sooner what they want to say and how. Otherwise is playing bar after bar with nice technique but not understanding the meaning. 2.-) When they have to change the position of the hands, they don't have to spend extra time working only on that, because they have already done it with the study of every fragment, so I teach them to listen to their repetitions actively, in a way that they are very concentrated when they need to join two different sections, and they simply remember what they did before. After a few repetitions, they manage to do it properly and they never forget it! I hope it helps! Thank you again!
Not long ago I read a very interesting article about how the brain memorizes the musical passages when we study. This was actually the best method regarding this article. If I find it, I will send it to you. (Sorry for my English; I am writing on my phone and extremely fast!).
Hi Josh! Thank you so much for your vídeos! They are helping me a lot, especially on what you remark in this vídeo, the efficience of my piano practice. I'd like to make a suggestion, could you upload a vídeo focusing on how to practice trinos? I am really stuck in this point! thank you again for sharing your knowledge!
I forgot about this way of practicing on small bits, separating the hands, rather then playing through whole pieces, but I know it's worked for me in the past. Slow play, playing everything at about 50 beats per minute also helps me absorb material quickly. With slow play, I can work on more than small bits
"Someone working on a page at a time is either the most brilliant person around, or..." Interesting you should say that, Sviatoslav Richter says he plays one page at a time :)
Very good video. I noticed that if I really spend very much time on only a few bars to master them really, it won't only pay off for this part. Because especially for advanced literature there will be side effects for your whole repertoire: Because you grow techically and musically and your other pieces will be polished through your thorough practice of that particular section without touching them actually. Thanks for enforcing what I principally already know but what I will be more aware of now.
I'm a pianist myself! (As you can see I'm Chopin). And I approve this video. :) Right now I'm learning Chopin etude "Black Keys" Op 10 No 5. Any suggestions?.
Split into sections/bars. Play LH until perfect and up to tempo, do same for RH. Move on to next section/bar. DONT 4:35. After perfecting all sections/bars, put them together.
You know, I think that was my problem. I always started from the beginning. And I never can look through it. I think if I get that right, I will get better at learning the piano. Thanks :D
Josh, any tips for synchronizing both hands, especially in the beginning of phrases, when they both start on the upbeat? Like in Beethoven’s Tempest sonata 3rd movement?
Thank you so much for making these videos. These concepts and tips have helped me so much. Do you think you could do a video talking about producing different types of articulations, such as articulation in Mozart versus articulation in Debussy?
The first thing I do is find fingering that works for me. It could be different from the book. Then I learn the notes in the right hand, then left. Then as you said, put hands together. Then next measure. Then put both measures together.
Thanks Josh I appreciate your video advice enormously. BTW this video is exceptionally fuzzy. Maybe it's because it's the free version, or perhaps you could try a higher resolution.
keep going. Keep doing what you're doing. You are helping others, you should be proud of that. Hero

Thank you. I'm going to trust myself to leave alone the bars I've learned, while I tackle the next few bars. I'm 66 doing grade 3!
It's funny how I'm learning so much more on UA-cam about HOW to practice, than from my actual piano teacher... Thank you so much!

Cool idea. Thanks for sharing. Funny how this comment is still giving use three years on! :D
this is useful. Going to college and will be able to practice 1-2 times a week, 1-2 times a month atleast. Thank you so much.
Great advice - take everything in bite sized chunks and as I say to my students, you don't need to start at the beginning every time.
This is one of the most useful suggestions I have come across. Thank you so much Josh!
TL;DW: Split piece into small segments. After mastery of 1 segment, move on to next. After mastery of all segments combine them into larger ones and practice. DO NOT FURTHER MASTER 1 SEGMENT UNTIL ALL OTHER SEGMENTS ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL OF MASTERY.
