Piano Quick Tips: BREATHING
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2020
- As pianists we often forget that breathing will have a great impact on the sound that we want to create. In this video I show you 4 different ways to breathe before touching the first key and why you should think about the first breath carefully for every piece.
On this channel I am going to share my experience and thoughts about fingerings, interpretation, fingertechniques and playing piano in generel. If you have any questions or ideas please leave it in the comments!

Thank you very much! Stay save and don't forget to practice;) - เพลง
Beautiful quote 3:35” Breathing means living & and you want to let the music live!”. 👏👏❤️😊Perfect sense! 👍🏼
This is brilliant. I always catch myself holding my breath, I don’t know why! I forget to breathe. I feel like if I breathe I’m going to loose my place because and disconnect from what I’m doing
You are not alone in this !! It happens with me too but with classical guitar. Take a look at this video by Kathia Buniatishvili th-cam.com/video/DBl2ClXzt3U/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PaoloCiri see how she breathes at the beginning of clair the lune without loose the feeling.
Words out of my mouth!
indeed
Same!
i used to wonder why i didn’t like my playing sometimes. this video helped me a lot. thank you so much
You describe playing music as if it’s a spiritual experience. Love that
never actually considered this preparation to begin the music a big thing to practice, and just something I was having difficulties, thanks for the video
Not even a piano player but I can see how this could apply to my guitar playing. Thanks, awesome vid!
It applies to every instrument 👍
@@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735 as a flute player, I can confirm
Annique - Breathing = Breathing in and breathing out. Don't stop breathing!
Me - "Got it, Annique." *Scribbles note with intensity* "I'll let you know how that works out for me." XD
I only found your channel because of one of your crazy challenges. I saw one, loved it! Then I started from your video and have worked my way to this. I am loving your philosophy around Piano.
I only just started playing myself. I'm about 2 weeks in so it's early days. I used to be a bass guitarist for an instrumental band and I had a very similar way of thinking about bass guitar as you do piano. Since staring Piano, I've been trying to work out how to think about it in a similar way as I used to with bass and I think you may be answering that question for me with this youtube adventure that you are on.
Thanks so much for your insight. :)
You are a brilliant teacher. This is not at all awkward! I actually do have a problem with breathing, because I often practically hold my breath while practicing. Or typing on the computer. So hard to breathe and finger at the same time!
As someone who sings and plays wind instruments as well as keys, I kind of get the breathing thing on one level. To sing or to play oboe, we breathe with and before phrases, and sometimes when I'm about to play piano, particularly if I'm performing, I take a moment to breathe just before starting. I have never given thought to the WAY to breathe before starting a piece or a song, so that aspect of this is a new one on me. I like how you appear to appreciate when something you've just said is potentially confusing, but I will heed your advice and I'll try to remember to breathe, from now on. :)
Comment parler avec sérieux de choses sérieuses sans se prendre au sérieux. Good job ! J’adore cet humour.
I prefer the result of your breath #4 for Chopin Op. 10 No. 3. Your pianissimo is soooo awesome here
The scheisse made me laugh so hard 🤣🤣 you’re awesome
You’ve given me so much to think about thank you !
Thank you so much for this, and for all your other videos which are so informative. I only recently found your channel, and as a 61yr old, taking lessons again after a 40+ year gap, I am learning so much. I struggle massively with tension throughout my body when I play - especially with very challenging (to me) music, such as Debussy's 2nd Arabesque. I am going to practice now, and see if the techniques you have demonstrated will help.
Thank you! Thank you! So important and helpful!
Very inspiring ! Can you explain further the difference between 1 and 4 please? They are very similar to me. Many thanks !
luckie Iam the main difference between 1&4 is the tension in your body. The way you touch the key while exhaling is smoother so often it is easier to start “lyrical” pieces like this. In no.1 I start on a “platform” on the highest energy level while in no.4 the first note is “tangent” to my breathing - not sure if this explanation makes any sense to you 😅 The sound difference is indeed very small as the way of breathing is in both cases calm and long but you should feel the difference while playing 😊
I will do another video about this topic and try to explain more details :)
Your lessons are fun and funny
You’re funny. Great explanation! Love it. Thank you. 🤣😂❤️😊
I found out, that I stop breathing, when playing the piano(not all the time, but the difficult phrases, for sure). Yeah, i payed too much attention to the piano, got tense and this habbit was around for quite some time. Mabye even when i stared playing. I was always wondering what was missing in my playing. It was good, but not awesome. So i focused on my breathing for last five moths and now the music i create is on an completely another level. THE MUSIC IS ALIVE.
!!!BREATHING IS EVERYTHING!!!
Totally makes sense, you are great!
I love the fourth one for this Chopin's piece :) Thanks for sharing your tips!
OMG! 😂 I need a teacher like you. I legit never consciously think about breathing before I play. Granted, I'm not a classical pianist, but I think this will definitely help for when I record. Thanks 🙏
thank you so much....i hope you continue like this way😚
Very interesting and super helpful. Breathing should seriously be implemented more in piano lessons! Awesome video, continue to post more content like this, it's very insightful!
Nice tips and amazing video!!
Will start doing this
Thanks alot. I think many piano teachers don't even teaches this very important aspects to their students. I like the way you suppress your laughter. Very cute. I also often wonder if pianist like Yukie Nishimura timed her breath to let audience feel the music through her breathing expression. Interesting indeed.
Great video! I need more practice on breathing. When I consciously breathe in while playing, I tend to mess up the notes. Especially when a difficult part is coming up, I can feel myself holding my breath and tensing up, like watching a thriller movie.
Definitely gonna try to practice this more
I just fall in love with this video haha
Thank you for sharing. I started learning playing in my mid-20s, and I just play it for fun. I love watching your videos for inspiration! Your videos encourage me to practice more. By the way, I love your necklace. It's very cute :)
Mein Klavierlehrer erinnert mich auch immer wieder, richtig mitzuatmen. Bei den schnellen Stücken hechele ich dann immer wie ein Hund in der Hitze 🤣
Hi Annique, will you be doing one for breathing DURING playing? And maybe another for the ENDING?
Yes, please! I catch myself holding my breath during intense passages! Thanks so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge! ✨🧡💐✨🎹
Wow
I notice how you suck in a breath before you start, that is incredible. All the things we need to think about as performers, breath doesn't cross my mind, but it should. I like number 4 calm and long. I think that will help manage my stress better in some harder pieces. Thank you! ❤
Hi, amazing content.
It's not very clear to me though how you breath "through" the whole piece.
After you inhale, the exhaling is connected with a number of bars or you go in some kind of "apnea"?
Hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Manuel
Étude Op. 10 No.7 I think I would choose the 2nd.
Love you
Koyoharu Gotouge likes breathing techniques
This woman is wonderful and exhilarating.
Don't stop breathing 🤣🤣🤣
That's a Journey song, isn't it?
#2 will go perfectly with Ballade in g minor !
Beauty germaneese! :)
for some reason now I feel awkward to breath in this very moment
For the novice, consider or comment on shaping breathing to the phrase. 12/31/23
I liked the 4th better.
"I just sit there and breathe...this is part of my practice"
I mean...same
This topic makes me think of meditation "Zen"😂
a love yuo
Op. 10 N. 2 reminds me of the Fly of the Beetle (?), Beettle's Fly (?)... don't or is it just The Beetle? I'll check soon.
I would think Op. 10 N. 2 would go with the 3rd one...
I tend to breath out after making a mistake :( (sigh)
When I read breathing at the piano, I thought you literally breathe at the piano
I didn't realise that the breathing would affect my playing THAT much. Not a classical pianist (or even know how to read sheets) but I have been doing breathing exercises....... wrongly.......
Also, did you remember to change from black keys to white keys at 11:36?
Giiiiirl... Why so seriouuuuuusss?
Got so good at breathing, I can now walk on water
du bist Deutsche
You should take some breath... And did you just say schei#_$_#e?
High from oxygen ^_^
please be more serious when you are teaching.there is too much laugh.
thank you anyway.
What's the problem with that?
4 mins in and I'm done. C'mon woman..You need to take yourself serious bc i came here for tips not for comedy and confusion.
May I suggest watching the remaining 9 minutes and 50 seconds?
At close to 6 min is where the valuable info starts. Keep watching. I have been playing piano for two decades and no one has ever taught me this lesson. It's a game changer.
