Everybody wants to play faster. It’s one of the most commonly requested topics I get for lessons and tips.
And it’s easy to understand why…
Playing fast is super FUN! But getting faster ends up tripping many piano players up because they try to get faster the wrong way.
In this lesson, I’m going to show you how to practice to get faster. We’ll be running through an exercise at 3 different tempos to demonstrate how to increase your speed. If you can’t play this exercise at all 3 tempos right away that’s ok. It will give you something to aim for, and when you do reach it, it will feel amazing.

Pianote, noted!
Very important lesson.
Thank you for all your tutorials

Ayyyyye another Twoset fan🔥
Yesss!!
lol you were fast
That’s such a random comment for a non Ling Ling wannabe. I love it.
Was looking for this comment. Ling ling wannabes never disappoint!
The exercise she used is designed by French composer Charles Louis-Hanon, these finger exercises have been revered and reviled since they were first released in 1873 in a book titled The Virtuoso Pianist.
Watching Pianote videos certainly make me wanna practise. Watching videos of Yuja Wang playing a recital at 8 years old? Not so much... lol
I really like the step by step instruction with the commentary while your playing and adding in tips and tricks
on how to stay focus and when to end and move on to the next exercise..well done Lisa thanks!
Very important point re: anchoring the accented notes to the tick. Another gem.
You are truly a good teacher🙌😁 You really make the learning process of playing piano fun. Thank you so much. I always recommend your channel. Really good content. Thanks again😊
Johan Louw - Isn’t she though??? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!! I love her PIANOTE course I learned more on PIANOTE than I did with my old Piano teacher .
@@arroyobaby38 Totally🙌 She is really good. The whole PIANOTE team is just amazing😊
No great lessons if there ain't a great teacher!
Have been following all your videos, it is motivating to see you make everything simple.. I am really really motivated to improve my ways of playing because of you ma'am!!! Keep up the good work, always be supporting! 😍❤️
I really appreciate your support and help, salute from Sudan
There is so much to be gained in the repetition of the mundane. I use these exercises. and scales as warm up every day. Then I find myself far more chill and focused for my lessons. I hadn’t thought of them as exercises for speed training. Brilliant. I’m doing it 👍
Thank you so much Lisa, you really make learning fun. I had an ornament (piano) until lockdown. I have worked my way through a few books and many of your youtube videos and am so happy that I am now tackling more complicated pieces. Mariage d'amour , chopin nocturnes (the easier ones) and Claire da Lune, Debussy . Loving it and its sounding very passable thanks to your tips !.. I am 60 now so a bit late for a beginner :-)
That's wonderful Philip! And you're never too late to start ;)
Never too late!
Start slow - practice-practice - practice - practice - practice - practice - increase speed - practice - practice - practice - practice - practice - f a s t.....
I am a 77-year-old retired lawyer. After watching your videos . . . I bought a piano. It is perched in my front room, and I am delighted to be learning to play. Slowly, but each session is a delight, thanks to you. Thank you. Michael Hatch
Hanon is such a great way to refine your technique
Love this, I've been waiting for this video, love the tip about starting slow
As always...the perfect lesson...thanks...
I am going to get focused and do this.
"i probably won't be able to speak at this speed". And then proceed to speak all the way 🤣. Great job Lisa!
You taught good tip
Start slowly and gradually increase the speed
The way it was helped me to get the good speed
Thank you very much 🤝
Me: wants to simply watch a Pianote video Also me: gets simply piano ads literally every video
I've been needing it for years!
This is well known aerobics of Hanon. I don't get how come you did never read about this for years O_O
My left hand is stronger than my right. So it’s my right that is the problem.. I also have a lot of trouble playing with a metronome, I tend to play by ear a lot. Kind of what sounds right for me.
The first few sections of Hannon has no thumb cross overs or unders. That's what really slows you down and trips you up. You build up speed on exercises with no crossovers pretty quickly, but this doesn't really translate into practical applications even in early intermediate pieces, or even in scales, where you have to get around thumb transitions. That's where tension builds and accuracy becomes an issue. But the same principle of starting slow applies. However you really need a teacher looking at your technique or you will just practice bad technique slowly forever.
O my gosh! It looks so hard even at 40 bpm😂 but I'll practise to make it work! Great video! Also.....
Happy 1/2 million (500k) subscribers!!!🎉 I have been waiting months to say this and it is finally here! Hope the channel keeps growing
Thank you so much! It's so exciting!!
gotta go fast
@pianote I love the way Lisa explain things!! Have been following her video and hope to play like her❤️❤️❤️
I want to play fastaaa!
I will continue to tell you that I love you and that you are truly adorable! No matter how creepy it may appear... Trust me when I tell you that I say these things with complete & total respect... You are OBVIOUSLY my favorite teacher! I dedicate 90 minutes per day to practice with your videos religiously! Have a blessed day Lisa! You're the definition of AWESOMNESS!
That exercise was forced me a little bit . But i think , i can do it soon. Thank youuuuu❤❤
No matter how hard it gets I won't give up
You are adorable! Makes learning fun!
Could you do a lesson on how to find the melody with your right hand? I can play all kinds of chords, I just don’t know what works to fill in sometimes.
That's a great suggestion. In the meantime, this video has some good tips about how to pick out the melody: ua-cam.com/video/QE11YkNJ7Yc/v-deo.html
I don't know but I play fast but it's not clean and neat : like I make mistakes by playing double notes
That tells me you're not in full control, and you're probably playing it too fast right now. Slow it down, clean it up and then work on building your tempo! You go this!
Thanks for video. Have a nice day.
Pls do a video on how to play Put a little love on me by Niall Horan on piano.
I'm a beginner and I'm wondering what should I be practicing? And for how long? I want to be able to play someone you loved by Thanksgiving and don't know where to start.
this made me realize how much i need to slow down. the 1st exercise felt downright tedious (ive learned this exercise in the virtuoso book already) and my playing gets SLOPPY.
I love that and I would like to have finger speed. Plz be I would like to practice minor chords in by F Sharp
Jeez, I wonder her fastest speed!
What is the fastest BPM you can play..?
I recommend starting piano session by playing pieces you've already mastered. It is not only the fun way to start, but also warms up fingers properly and your serious practice later will be more effective. For me, it takes approx. 15 minutes of playing to reach my tempo cap and feel comfortable and relaxed there.

Master of pianos I'm pressing the keys.
Where is Rhodes !?
I’m just doing the exercise one hand at a time and getting comfortable to play with both, it’s great! (:
He's still around! He's started sleeping through the night which is amazing!
hey
❤❤❤
Lisa, what do you do with your hands when you accompany yourself while singing. I find I'm just playing block power chords on every beat, especially with the left hand. Any advice?
We have a couple of lesson on that: ua-cam.com/video/eCsKg8i1Ru8/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/otVkPdcXWm0/v-deo.html
Generally I also play basic chords, but i will try to experiment with rhythms, and then throw in a little fill or riff (usually when I'm not singing at the same time)
@@PianoteOfficial Thank you so much! I'll give it a go!
that metronome gets faster it makes my fingers tickle if playing Alla turca and others. I prefer medium.
BTW, I was expecting you used that Triangle thingy called the metronome tool in the thumbnail but it is not in the video.
Nice vid and I have to practice Pathetic movement no. 2 by Beethoven.
Haha that metronome is just a prop. It's so old it doesn't even keep good time anymore!
@@PianoteOfficial oh. Never mind. I was using Yamaha P125 I wanna figured out how to use metronome on a electric piano of mine.
Hello, I have a question in general about piano. I am 26 and I've played piano from time to time in the past. Just last year I decided to take it more seriously for a future job or something. so as of now, I've been playing for about a year and 3 months. Now, I do not read music yet so I play by ear or watch a tutorial on UA-cam. My question is I'm able to learn a lot of songs especially advanced ones that I know I probably should wait but I enjoy the challenge. Anyways, some days It's fine, I'm able to master these songs and I'm very proud of myself for being a beginner and all. Other days I find myself, recently - not that I'm not able to learn it anymore but feel like I struggle a lot more and become frustrated and have no patience or it's like my brain doesn't remember how to play anymore or something. I basically find myself messing up a lot more than when I started last year. So If I made any sence lol, is this part of the process, me just having bad days and is this normal to be happening? Should I not be playing too advance songs? Any advice would help, thank you.
Wow great question! I don't there's anything wrong with trying advanced songs early in your learning, as long as you understand that they are ADVANCED songs. They can be a great way to stay motivated and push yourself to achieve something. They can act as a goal. BUT -- they should NOT be demotivating or frustrating. Remember, they are advanced songs for a reason. So if you're finding them motivating and fun then that's great. But if they are starting to become a negative experience then maybe take a break from them and focus on having success on the piano.
As for having bad days, that's completely normal. We all have bad days. Often I find those bad and frustrating times come just before a big breakthrough in my playing. So keep at it, and good luck!
Suggested topic: how to deal with those days when nothing goes right. I'm having that kind of day today; couldn't hit the right notes to save my life.
It was all I could do just to walk away without heaving the keyboard through the window...
Faster! Faster!
Miss Lisa I really am curious n want to know how fast r u at playing piano after u said"Was that my fastest tempo,no" 😨
Ya know playing warmup exercises too fast makes my wrist hurt alil. How do I solved this???
Hanon here?!
Hi Lisa! I'm having a problem understanding the part where you switched
Switched speeds? Or moved up the piano? Sorry I'm not sure I know exactly what part you're talking about.
btw, any tips on how to accurately play melodies which require hitting octaves? I find it hard to make my fingers stay locked in position while moving from one key to another especially if it's a fast piece.
So you're playing octaves as the melody? A good exercise for this is to practice octave scales. So play a scale up and down using octaves!
Along with new video, New hair colour
Is it possible
Hi
At 40 bpm, my hands say to me " It's possible, no problem "
At 90 bpm , my hands say , " Maybe in a decade or two "
At 150 bpm , my hands say " When pigs fly or when hell freezes over, which ever is later , not even then "
Hahaha! You'd be surprised what a little bit of daily practice can do!
If you'd like some guided practice, we have a course designed to help you build your speed: www.pianote.com/faster-fingers
It has short, daily practices you can play-along to so you don't have to find your own exercises.
6/11 of the people that watched liked, 4 commented as of 14:37 pm, 26th of May
What time zone
British summer time
it's not that 40bpm is to fast but to slow lol know that problem?
I just don't know when to expect a beat at that slowness of speed.
just put 80 and play every beat
Sir do we have to sight read scales while playing or its just technical exercise?
Sir?
This is "technically" a technical exercise (see what I did there!) so if you learn the pattern that's ok. But being able to sight-read will make exercises like this easier in future!
The key is to start slow.... NO! The key is to take a song (slow or fast) and keep practicing it... Always remember: if you can play something slow u can play it fast
... Actually you dont have to be fast... If are accurate, speed eventually will strike your soul
Hi you started at 40 then you played medium at 90 then played fast but you didn’t mentioned the Bpm of the fast tempo can you please mention that thanks
Sorry about that. I did include it in the description and the top comment. It was 150bpm!
Pianote Thanks
Pianote would you recommend any exercise to make hands fast on all 12 not only at the white ones I mean we work chromatically will really appreciate your response thanks
Everything’s amazing, but I am not able to identify the sequence of your videos, Can you please help me in that?
Hi there! We don't have a sequence of videos. We do have lots of playlists on various topics. If you're looking for guided videos in order we have hundreds of them at www.pianote.com :)
Thanks for that
Right now I'm between a slow and a medium
Can you practice this method on any piano
Absolutely!
good one, now show us how fast can YOU go, just curious though :)
Did anyone else experienced this? I had to watched 52 minutes of commercial before I could watch this video. As much as I love this channel and their awesome tutorials, I had to just move on. I'll save it for later, maybe ads will be shorter next time around, say, maybe a year from now? :( So miss the old YT, when they still have that "Skip Ad" button :( _ _
Hey Jim, I'm not sure what happened for you, but we NEVER allow non-skippable ads on our videos. There should always be a skip-ad button. Sorry you had to sit through that. I've double-checked our settings to confirm that non-skippable ads are NOT allowed.
@@PianoteOfficial Unfortunately that is not the case. Almost all your videos does not give me that option "Skip Ad" I thought maybe it's the browser I'm using? Tried every single browser I know, you name it, I've done it but still I had to sit through these ads if I want to watch your vids. Crazy :( It is, what it is. But you guys doing a wonderful job with your tutorials though, and the only reason I keep coming back and putting up with these crazy ads..
😘😘😘😘😘🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💣
Madam i think ur playing it at 4/4 rhythm actual hanon exercise says to play at 2/4 rhythm..
You're right, the original Hanon does say 2/4. But we're using it to build speed so it's ok. The Hanon books also provide lots of alternatives for playing the exercises!
But the question is, when do you ever start achieving this process, faster?
I really want to play faster but my ring finger is kinda stiff. 😂
Try some finger exercising and it might help a bit!

How are you so beautiful?
