you prolly dont care but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
I loved the listening aspect of piano playing. I most certainly do not do enough of it and my hearing is behind my playing. It will have to be a big aspect of my training next year so thanks for the reminder of how important the listening ability actually is. Also, the tip about the intersection of different fingers every forth note (not necessarily 4th) was vital in my learning of contrary motion scales in particular
Very helpful! So easy to get tangled up and out of sync in fast passages if we don’t think and listen! Even for scales....to get both hands precisely coordinated at speed. One other thing that you demonstrated but didn’t mention specifically (perhaps because by now we should know it!) is the value of really slowing it down a lot, especially to check where the hands coincide, and then gradually increasing speed till it sits naturally and sounds crystal-clear. Thanks for another well-thought out and nicely explained video!
Thanks a lot, Josh! I've been learning Scarlatti's Sonata in D Minor, K.9 and struggling with keeping my playing of the two-handed rising scales consistent and level. Thank you for the insight on this matter. ✌️
Hi Josh, how did you maintain your talent and skill while on your mission? I'm a junior in high school and don't know how it will affect me or what I should do about it.
Very helpful as always! I actually have a related problem right now, I'm playing rachmaninoff's prelude in c sharp minor, at the end of the agitato section there is this descending chords section, the problem is that the hands alternate and don't come together, which gives me trouble getting it up to speed. May this be interesting for a future video? Also, I bought your andante spianato course, can I download it or only watch online? As always Greetings from Germany!
What is your rationale of adding sight-reading to your daily regime ? I had a teacher who was having me read through - not necessarily memorize - several pieces, rotating among them. She thought this would help me advance. But if a person switches it up, reading through short pieces daily - short pieces by Czerny - or another piece we may be desirous of learning , is the idea to develop the sight-reading ability primarily?
Hand alignment is one of the most overlooked concepts I see when teaching lessons...I hope the tips presented here can help you in your piano studies!
What about the 4,3,2,1 exercise I saw in one of your old videos on this topic?
You make the world a better place, sir. I learn so much from you, and I don't even know you... thank you 🙏🙂

josh as always your information is so helpful but im just here for the sergei babayan impression
My teacher gave me a good top for aligning the hands in scales: imagine your weaker hand (usually the left) leading.
Thanks for the lesson!

Like both of your teachers’ quotes. 🙂Thanks for sharing!

Man your videos are amazing, thank you
Josh,
Thank you for sharing this wisdom especially from your training with international masters. It's such a blessing!
LISTEN! Definitely one of the best lessons, thanks for passing on the wisdom!
I had my eyes closed before you even spoke. Hurrah!
As usual Josh, your insights make the hidden so wonderfully clear!
Thanks a lot, Josh!

Thank you for the insight on this matter. ✌️
Wow wow wow, this was really helpful, as I am currently struggling with some fast passages in the first movement of the Waldstein Sonata.
What I do is to record my pieces on a cel phone. It always shows me parts I need to practice. Thank u, Josh! Very helpfull!
Best teacher!
I´m at Bach Wtk 12 prelude. Rather complicated fingering, but this - and the Babayan advice on active fingers is really helpful. Thank you.
Very helpful for Scarlatti sonata k.39
Thanks Josh. 👍🏻
Hi Josh, how did you maintain your talent and skill while on your mission? I'm a junior in high school and don't know how it will affect me or what I should do about it.
I’ve found counting the beats (not the “e and a”) really helps with this. I guess it forces both hands to follow the same tempo Or something?
thank you

Does this translate to polyrhythms as well?
is that sonata in d major, no 9 k311?

Oh wow deemo
