Thank You again for subscribing to the Piano Blog list. Keep your eyes open because over the next few days I’m going to send you three more special technique tips that I use with my students. You won’t find these anywhere else!
The first video should arrive any minute now!
In the meantime, please enjoy the videos below:
In this video, my student Bella and I practice the slow-motion silent drop, the precursor to a drop as taught in my Fundamentals of Piano Technique course.
Notice below that we start by emphasizing the supported hand structure with relaxed forearm using the “finger pushup” exercise. This is followed by finding neutral position on the keys and then a slow controlled drop with wrist release.
In this video, I discuss the importance of being specific instead of vague when it comes to problems of piano technique. This is one of the most important “high level” concepts you can use in your technique practice.
