Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I'm Robert Estrin. Today I'm going to share with you a technique for balancing your hands on the piano. One of the great things about the piano is the fact that you have different parts with your two hands. But that also makes balancing the hands difficult. I'm going to demonstrate using Fairy Tale by Kabalevsky. Watch the video for the demonstration. You'll hear the balance of the hands with the melody above the accompaniment, which is sometimes difficult to achieve. I'm going to show you some techniques to achieve this. I have a secret technique for you that I bet you've never tried before!
This was definitely a "great" tutorial!!!🙏👌👍👏
Thsnks for this, I won't tell anybody.
Interesting concept. It can also help develop "audiation" skills that lets you "hear in your head" what you are playing. Furthermore, it can help with muscle memory if you can "feel" the notes that you are not actually playing. This can be helpful in developing the "deeper skills" that make playing more effortless.
It was also nice to hear this song again, as I remember hearing it at recitals in my youth but never actually learned it, and thus did not know what it was to find it again. Thanks for that.
Lastly, get this piano tuned better, as a number of unisons are not clean, and it messes up the music. The simpler the music is with fewer notes at a time, the more the "intervals" are heard within the music and reveals whether or not the piano is in tune, both in unisons and in intervals. Messy unisons will rob the music of a "singing" tone, and this piano is not coming through very well. You've had much better pianos in other videos that would do even simple pieces like this more justice. (Just a comment from a piano tuner, and fellow piano teacher)
Thank you, Maestro ⭐🌹⭐
Thanks. Happy new year!
Nice little touch at the end applying the technique for the outro !
you re the best sir !
Great idea and great timing! Since this summer, I’ve been focused on bringing out the melody line in Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (Bach/Hess); I need to try out this technique! (Also, I’ve been working that one on the organ…hmm, that’s a different technique 😊.)
Thank you Robert Estrin so much for this so useful demonstration. I really appreciate it. It will be so helpful in working on
the Chopin Fantasie-Impromptu where, as you say, it is hard to distinguish the evenness of each hand when playing both hands in the keys at once. Now I will really know that each hand is even.. Keep up these wonderful videos. Thank you. All the best, Brian King
Is it ok to have one hand silently touching the keys instead of the rack? I have not yet reached the level where I can play the keys without the actual ones. 😅
You can try that.
Hi Robert! I am always following your videos. The bass always seem to be louder to me, no matter whether acoustic or digital. Subconsciously I play the bass softer. I am only a self-learner so I may be wrong.
You are not the only one. I have remind myself to play my right hand harder.
It will come. The reason I suspect is one plays chords more heavily instinctively and the left hand in most pieces is comprised of in the main chords.
i had the same problem with my console Steinway....but when i purchased a digital piano with a concert grand VST my problem went away....i think the concert grand are way softer on the bass by designed
Or you can just not practise hands separately - save where you keep playing a passage with the wrong notes. It can be better simply to start playing with both hands (and not look at the score). The sounds will complement each other and also the volume naturally modulate.
Not wishing to sound impolite but Roberts finger technique looks very awkward, especially in the right hand.
Unrelated but can I learn piano without piano
Oh yeah? Well I can learn about learning piano without having to learn piano with no piano
can you learn riding a bike without riding a bike ?
Well I can't ride a bike without but can simulate the action@@più_lento_28_13
@@AtomizedSoundI don't know but maybe I can memorize some 🧩 with a virtual piano. But actually playing the physical one is different
can you call yourself a pianist eventually if you're self-taught
Yes of course.
Thank you for this video! I share a free bite by bite “learn to read music” program on my UA-cam channel in the hopes of making music literacy accessible to all!
