    I'm Robert Estrin. Today I'm going to show you four ways to develop speed in your piano playing. You hear people who play dazzlingly fast, but maybe you're just struggling to get a piece up to speed. Is there anything that you can do to develop more speed? Absolutely! There are a number of things you can do. Of course, working generally on different repertoire, scales, and arpeggios is helpful. These are essential building blocks of technique on the piano. But what I'm going to show you today are specific things you can incorporate in your practice to help develop speed.
    I'm going to use Ballade of Burgmüller as an example. The part I'm going to focus on is the end, where you have a fast pattern of notes in both hands. What better place than this to demonstrate the myriad ways you can practice? Today I'm just going to cover four specific ways of developing speed, to not overwhelm you.

    I use the metronome method all the time. I start at half the listed tempo. If that is a good start, I move on. If I still can not play it I step the temp down until I can play it. Then I start working up again and I don’t have any problem with stepping back down. Remember, keep practicing that piece part until you can not make a mistake.

    When I think of fast piano "Dizzy Fingers" and Floyd Cramer version is what comes to mind, but really it's mostly arpeggio if I understand that word correctly. But still fun to listen to.

      People these days tend to play that piece too quickly anyway.

    You claim to be a concert pianist? You do not have a music degree, do you? Where do you perform, apart from your shop?

      I have 3 diplomas from the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. I majored in both piano and French horn at the Manhattan School of music, and have a piano performance degree from Indiana University School of Music. Here are some performances of mine: ua-cam.com/play/PLb9dheYKfknTjIG4_-dNcL1PX1oGaAh5C.html
