Your advise is so valuable and give us confidence to do something on piano
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful and that you've found your confidence on piano! 😊
Excellent video. Your advice is awesome! Particularly keeping fingers close. Thank you for your generosity.
Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
You’re excellent. I love your teaching … I’ve learned so much ! Your channel helps to encourage and keep
Me motivated … thank you .
I am a beginner and enjoy your method of teaching. The passage you used in this mini-lesson is well beyond my skill level for now, but I can apply your techniques now.
Don’t forget “fast” is relative to ones current skill level. This FETCH method is of great value to the learner (me) as it is to one who is highly skilled.
Love your videos Kate, you're an excellent teacher! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thank you! 😊
What a great video! Your teaching style is amazing and so easy to follow!
Thanks so much! Glad you're here!
Dr. Boyd - another wonderful contribution to this collection of pedagogical frameworks - mnemonics like this are so useful in communicating ideas to students!
I think that one of the contributions to fluency (avoiding Hesitation) is to consider momentum. In passagework, from the beginning, feel the transfer of weight from key-to-key and consider at the same time the overall direction. In physics, momentum is mass (think "weight") directed along a velocity vector. It may be just my overly analytical way of thinking about this, but I've always felt that paying attention to momentum in a passage in this way helps achieve velocity without tension. The body wants continuous rather than episodic movements.
Thank you for the valuable lesson, as always!
I'm glad it was helpful to you! Thank you, and happy practicing!
Thank you!! I've been avoiding any pieces faster than andante, but now I'm trying Burgmuller's Op100 etudes and need to step up the speed! (And re. fingerings - the edition I bought from Schirmer has some, uh, interesting ones... I started to feel like they were hazing the newbies. I've got an edition from Alfred on order.)
in the process of learning a fast piece, once you've learned the notes and start to work on the flow of the notes, do you have to work in chunks in order to accelerate it? what I mean is that if the piece is let's say 160 bpm and I can play it at 80, do I have to reach 160 for each chunk before moving to the next?
There’s utility here for we violinists as well.
Thank you -- I will put this lesson into action today. I am working on Scott Joplin's "Magnetic Rag", and my fingering is just not right. I'll chart it out, and try your FETCH methodology!
You got this!
I'm not ready to play fast, but this was very helpful for visualizing my pieces in Burgmüller. Merci beaucoup.
And you won’t if you don’t prepare for it. Playing fast is more of the quality of your study when you practice slow, meaning that you are completely aware of what you’re doing. All the advice Kate gives in this video applies in general to improving your practice. For example, making the habit of playing close to the keys is essential in general. Being aware of the motions you are doing while practicing too, since playing the piano is about controlling what you are doing and not just hopping things go well
Thanks, nice video. I always miss a description of how to achieve a consistent fingering for the fast passage. If I play slowly, I cannot judge the correct fingering for fast playing.
Great points. I would like to recommend NOT to write down too many fingering for the early level students. Many students play by following the fingering instead of reading notes.
I learn so much more from this video than months of lessons and blind efforts. Thank you.
I want say it s better to watch kate video than studying in university with dumb prof always keep saying forte forte piano piano cresendo cresendo wo any advices
I wanted to ask something not really related to your video. Did you ever had a piece that you just can't play without making any mistakes ? The Bach invention 6 is just driving me crazy. I play it and I make just a small mistake. Ok I work a bit that mistake and there's no problem with that part actually. So I start the piece again and I make another mistake. Again I work it and start again... and again and again with more and more mistakes as if the more I play it the more mistakes I make. I know that piece. I've been on it for 2 months now and I don't know what to do. I'm desperate.
Getting help from a teacher would be a good idea at this point. Also, working on audiating the music you are playing:)
@@growingpianists thank you for your comment. It's holiday now and don't see my teacher. I don't think he really has a solution for this. He usually says to repeat small chunks, but that doesn't help as I'm really ok at repeating parts of the piece. It's when I do the whole piece. There is always a few note I miss. That piece is not easy because there are a lot of accidentals and also there are many parts that look the same but just a few notes higher or lower and you have to remember which part is what.
