“Playing with a wrong fingering; your technique is bad; you are too tense”. All of the above for me 😊. Your method is very good for young ppl; yet, the method does not work for older ppl (like me 😊). We don’t have enough time to learn to play properly. We simply do not have time 😂. Therefore, we rush, rush, rush. So that we can learn to play sooner, maybe bad though. 😂. Thank you.
Haha! perhaps my videos about slow playing would be something for you 😊😜 th-cam.com/video/pGSNvjNzJb8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CsNwj816hsDfsYe3 Or this one: th-cam.com/video/xDloU15-kWI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hMy0hCBY5Xwoku8s Let me know if that perhaps helped a little bit.
Thank you. Dimitar is playing super nice and super fast. I often think about “why I am learning piano”?! (even though my wife says that I have enough talents and do not need learning piano). I have the answer, or what I think is the answer. But, never mind about what I think.
@@dmitryprivate6558 Playing piano is the best thing there is, no matter if you play slow or fast, just expressing yourself on the instrument is wonderful isn't it? And when you practice you can only get better. :) To answer your question depends, in concert normal concert season 1-3 hours, in preparation for a competition 3-6 hours, currently with a 2 year old 15 min - 30 min if we're lucky 🤣
@@dimitrovboeleepianoduo thank you for sharing the answer to my question. I practice 30 min a day (even though my kids are adults). Congratulations on having a two-year old. I have stories about my kids taking piano lessons when they were growing up, but I don’t want to monopolize your time and your comments.
Could this be combined with playing each bar 3-5 times (let's say) for incremental improvement? I tend to fixate on one small area, and fall into a hole of wasted time and frustration. This could be a great way to keep me moving, and make sure all the bars "get seen"
Absolutely. A part of having a good practice routine is also knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are. If you tend to fixate on a small area (which is by the way a great quality) you just need to make sure you combine it with enough practice of also a larger area. You can also put an alarm and allow yourself 30 min. of "small area work", with f.e. the tips from this video. And then when the alarm goes, you have to play your piece once through, even if part of that is sight reading. Then the next day, make sure to fixate on a different small area so that also over the long-term all areas get seen. Setting a timer really helps for people who focus/obsess over details (like me, I can practice an hour on one bar easily) because in that way you have a clear plan with a clear goal and you keep your practice productive.
Awwwww!⭐️😊⭐️😊Love! This!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merci !
Pleasure!
