      @josephalvarez5315 4 роки тому +56

      For me personally hanon has wrecked absolute hell on my forearm and wrist. I get super tense when doing technical excersises like that, so I've started using burgmuller op. 100 and Bach's notebook for Anna Magdalena to warm up instead.

    I really appreciate the double thirds tutorial. That's something I've always struggled with, as I'm mostly self-taught and lack that person I can go to for questions like that.

  • @joelra3702
    @joelra3702 4 роки тому +10

    This timing is impeccable as I just in the last few days hit a wall with my playing after experiencing pain in my forearm from playing too fast. I'm now starting to go back and practice very slowly with a focus on efficiency and relaxation. Have been playing for 10+ years but not until recently have focused on this stuff.
    Practicing slowly is the key IMO.

    Thanks so much for NOT "boring" us with too much detailed information on how to play these. Instead, you're just "showing" us and giving our brains even more benefit by making us watch closely and figure out the details for ourselves. I play stringed instruments, but aspire to piano. Love

    hey nahre, i gotta say, you've been so helpful for me as a composer. I'm a beginner with my instruments so i haven't personally played a lot. but you did all the work for me with your composer videos, so now i could get whats in my head on to paper, and i can get better ideas in the first place in my head. so thank you so much :)

    For the chromatic scale, I was taught to use 1 and 3 and for the B-C and E-F intervals to use 1 and 2. For me it is simpler, idk.

    • @NahreSol

    3:42 I find sliding the second finger from D# to E more comfortable and effortless compared to jumping with the thumb in ascending scales, descending is a different story though.

    @efa666 4 роки тому +41

    That chromatic speed is insane! Does that fingering become limiting though? I learned years ago to use 1-3 for white to black and then 1-2-3 when hitting white-white-black, has a nice fluidity to it.
    Also have you ever listened to Jordan Rudess? Would be interested to hear your take on his work.

    • @Ronno4691
      @Ronno4691 4 роки тому +2

      I recently watched the video of Jordan Rudess in the Tokyo music shop quarter and he was doing lightning fast runs without any 'thumb under' and I was transfixed! This here video is the only one that makes such techniques accessible and I've been SEARCHING UA-cam for MONTHS for this kind of info as piano teachers just aren't interested in teaching adults!

    Hey Nahre, love your videos, I just was wondering, have you considered making a sort of introduction to the piano type of video? Like a "where to start" for beginners, because I just recently started learning piano coming from a very non classical background and it's pretty overwhelming and confusing.
