Piano Lessons – 3 Tips
September 8th, 2009 Brian
Piano Lessons – 1: Technique starts with being able to activate each finger independently. Place your hand as though holding a ball with all finger tips touching the surface of a table. Move your thumb up and down five times with an even rhythm while the tips of the other fingers remain still with no hand movement. Repeat this exercise with each finger. Carry out the same exercises with each finger of the other hand.
Piano Lessons – 2: With the right pedal depressed play glissando with the backs of your right hand finger from the lowest part of the keyboard going to the highest. When you reach the middle of the piano, release the pedal to hear the cut off.
Piano Lessons – 3: Using all your fingers of each hand play the whole tone scale descending from the C one octave above Middle C with the right pedal depressed. You will hear a fascinating sound. Just play ten notes black or white and make sure there is one key between each note you play. Play the notes evenly and as fast as you like.
