This is really sound instructions on scale technique. It's not 'every single' thing, but the big two she mentioned the arm leading and the release on certain notes at speed will solve about 95% of problems people have with smooth speed. Amazing details here, many thanks.
Apparently, Chopin used to tell his pupils basically the same thing as you explained in this lesson, which is, if you play evenly it doesn't matter about the empty spaces between the notes because nobody will hear them. It's sad that so many students think that they have to hold down a key until the next key is played in order to make it sound like they are playing legato. Your demonstration is so clear, thank you very much for taking the time to explain this most important aspect of playing evenly. Obviously, even Chopin's pupils struggled a bit with this simple concept.
The part i like best is knowing that if you met her in the mall or at a social event you'd have no idea she has such an exquisite little secret...playing piano well is a lifetime study.
I love the warmth, calm, and detail with which you explain the key koncepts. This video has led me to find out about your book, and you've earned one more reader!
Excellent! One of my teachers was a first rate professional pianist: he insisted on passing under the thumb in fast arpeggios, which is totally impractical. This lady very correctly shows how to play a fast scale without joining positions.
@@pjbpiano If you watch first class pianists almost no one does it... And those who do will sooner or later develop serious tendon issues. Our thumbs are not intended to contort this way, especially at fast speed. It is physiological. To try does not improve the sound, quite the opposite.
@@tia904 I know better now than to believe people who accept things like you do without actually trying them out till they can do it. And as someone who has seen concert level pianists do this, I can only laugh and the limitations you have put on yourself and your abilities.
I can do the Mexican wave motion very quickly, easily and naturally when I go from my little finger (pinkie) towards my thumb. But the other way around is more difficult, requires focus and effort. Was wondering if it is a common observation that other people have also experienced or is it just me. Any tips for that?
I disagree. She gives some useful,easily overlooked insights and food for thought such as the necessity to know patterns and thinking ahead to prevent mental stress and physical tension

You’re wrong. The space does matter. It’s the difference between a muddy sound and a clean one when you pedal.

A genuine piano teacher. Very good.
Wow! Really good teaching. It’s so calm, on the Point and has a Wonderful Flow! Thankyou so much! 🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
What a lovely reminder of expressive playing and the different reasons for variety of scale tempos. Thank you.
The wave is a fabulous visual. Lovely.
Love that natural movement of the arm and the visuals like parachute too. Wonderful.
So lucky of me to have found this video!! Thank you!!
What a wonderful piano teacher you are. A joy to learn from you. Thank you (definite subscribe).😊
I'm so inspired by this revelation - thank you!
This is great! Play with your arms bringing the fingers into position vs thinking with your fingers. Everything is much easier that way!
I enjoyed it.
Nice. I enjoy playing scales in octaves. 😉

the Mexican wave instantly fixed issues I've had for years. thank you so much.
That was an amazing lesson, thank you very much! Very inspiring, so much that I’m going back to practice right now… and it’s 11:50 pm
Love her way of teaching and her voice is so soothing!
Indeed the very best of the British intonation.
Shes like the Mary Berry of the piano world 🤩 I'm in love!
Thank you. A south korean is watching your video in Germany
Thank you, really well done video and well explained!
Excellent explanation! Thankyou so much
Thank you. So clear and informative.
Thank youuuuuuu for your time, woooo you are the best teacher in the world.

You HAVE to pass the thumb under but you combine it with a hand position change.
It is not impractical. Perhaps you cannot do it so you think so.
@@mackiceicukice You are contradicting yourself if you are doing a hand position change at the same time you are not letting the thumb go under.

Fantastic, thank you.

An agreeable room.

Do you teach piano lessons privately? Thank you
👏👏👏
🙏🌺😇
I think you're lovely - you remind me of the equally lovely late Peggy Hubicki !
Useful advice but the first 2 mins and 50 seconds is pure waffle until you get to something useful.
I disagree. She gives some useful,easily overlooked insights and food for thought such as the necessity to know patterns and thinking ahead to prevent mental stress and physical tension
I also disagree, any tension and the whole thing won't work. The intro is critical.
