So glad that this has helped you! All the best for your further piano journey 😊🙌🏻
Lullaby words. ‘Go to sleep my digits The pain will soon be gone So rest until tomorrow When fingers will be strong. With fortitude and courage You face the road ahead But soon you’ll be exhausted. And ready for your bed!
Hello Danae, I really love your technique-warmup, and I am making it part of my technique routine since 5 months now. I have a couple questions for you that I wish you could kindly answer: 1. I feel tension in my right hand playing "Mozart's Trill" when I switch to 3rd and 4th finger position, is this normal because of the unnatural movement ? (I watched also your other video in depth and I'm trying always to relax my hands..) 2. When you do the arpeggio part, (I mean at Min. 15:55 ) you switch between 1-2-3-5 ; 1-2-4-5 fingerings ; or you keep it 1-2-3-5 for every key of a different scale ? 3. The most important question I have, I don't know if I should play this excercises with a "forte" dynamic for build my technique, or I should build some phrasing to the dynamics goung "piano to forte" , because I think that the best way to do this excercises is to do it in "forte" for strenghten my fingers, ( I am using a heavy ( for real lol) weighted digital piano from Yamaha to practice technique). I am aware of course that I have to relax my shoulders, elbows,etc.. What are your thoughts on my questions ? I would be so much grateful if you find a bit of time to reply. Thanks for changing my life in a better way, also my technique, I really need an excellent guide like you.
What a phenomenal warm up routine - so many great suggestions- I think I’d be too tired to learn repertoire after that lol - you are truly an amazing pianist 🎹
Hello Danae, I have watched this and others of your videos. I intend to watch them all. You are a real inspiration. Piano is the love of my life and although I wanted to play piano when I was 7 my family didn't have one. So I didn't start until I was 15 and actually went to music college on horn as first subject. However technical problems weren't dealt with until much later in life. Your videos have been so helpful. Thank you.

So glad to hear that and thanks so much for watching! Good to have you here ☺️
Even though it's quite difficult, apparently warming up by improvising and incorporating various technical devices (scales, octaves, arpeggios, etc) is one of the best ways. There's some great videos of George Cziffra doing this at an extremely high level.
wow !!!!!! merci beaucoup DANAE , j ai viens de mettre en pratique "comme vous l avez explique" l execise du passage avec le pouce , et wouww il y a deja un changement spectaculaire !!!! je continus, et encore merci DANAE de partager;
I recently added scales in staccato, one day in major, the other in minor and broken 10th with one note in the middle up and down 5 fast time on one octave in legato.
I love this video! Building technique through warmups is THE way to go, in my opinion. I grew up doing the same old routine. Change it up by FIRST listening/watching closely this video. You will make more progress than you thought possible. Just do it!
Amazing video!! I love your advice on having minimum movement when playing fast, it is something I'm working towards recently. May I ask you a question please, Danae? How would you advise me on keeping my inner pulse/tempo without over-reliance on the metronome? Thank you so much and I feel so grateful for having you on TH-cam. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

I like to visualize an actual conductor indicating the pulse with his hands - I find that this creates a very natural sounding pulse and helps me keep steady without using the metronome.
Oh wow, I'm dying here, Danae, but I love it :) Working on the fifth finger while the others are 'sleeping,' as your teacher put it, feels so weird. I don't know why it never occurred to me to practice like that. Strangely, though, with my left hand (I'm not left-handed), I'm able to do it easily. Love the video, thank you so much for moving me up to a new place.

Danae, thank you very much for your amazing video. It's very useful for me. Thank you once again. You are really an angel to help people who are suffering how to practice piano exercises. God bless you.
Normally No one Teach theirs Great Secrets of success Even if paid. But you r Great my dear friend. But shocking thing wilb These practices are Really tough to me as beginner. Anyway Thanks
Danae, have you ever had a day when even the music you know well doesn’t want to flow through you fingers? No matter what I did today I could not focus! My study was a disaster so I went to my favorites and after a few songs that I messed up I gave up.. I know you are very busy and you probably went over this before, so if you get a chance and become very bored, ok !

Of course this can happen and it is totally normal, we all have „off“ days! Nothing to worry about and tomorrow, you will be back in it. :)
Hi Danae ! Your video is now my warm up ⭐⭐ It makes me a little sad to see that I’m not as fast as you. Did you have that speed at the very beginning ? Do you think that by following your warm-up I can achieve the same speed ?
2 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Absolutely not, I started much much slower! It is totally normal to start at a much slower speed and gradually work yourself up to get faster. All the best for you!
How do you increase your speeds to this level? I'm a two year old pianist and my piano teacher of 8 months does not want to teach me about playing fast 🤣. I just want to increase my speed as slow as possible and would love to learn how to do it professionally.
Practicing slowly and properly is very important and then gradually increasing the speed is helpful. Here is a link to a video that I made exactly in that subject: th-cam.com/video/MAt5vsZ2xxY/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
Das ist super interessant, vielen Dank! Bei einigen Übungen erschließt sich mir allerdings nicht, warum oder wofür Du das übst. Was bringt welche Übung? Präzision oder Schnelligkeit oder Stärke oder alles? Welche Übungen empfiehlst Du für Anfänger (2,5 Jahre)? Alles Liebe!
2 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Jede Übung hat verschiedene Zwecke: bei einigen geht es um Fingerunabhängigkeit, bei anderen geht es um Schnelligkeit, Fingeruntersatz, richtige Handhaltung und Muskulaturstärkung. Die Übungen sind eigentlich alle auch für Anfänger geeignet (vielleicht bis auf den Mozarttriller), einfach nur in einem deutlich langsameren Tempo. Ich selber habe auch mit diesen Übungen angefangen, ganz langsam, und habe sie dann über die Jahre in die jetzige Geschwindigkeit gebracht. Danke fürs Zuschauen 🤗🙏🏻
I love your tutorials. They would be a lot easier to follow--though if you would demonstrate your explanations at the piano instead of using your other hand in lieu the piano which is right beside you. I cannot understand the second finger exercise at .25 speed. Also, why the second finger? I don't think you explain why the second finger?
Mark 8:18 it's too fast for me I watch ed the video with 0.25 times of speed it's still too fast. But I like this video for warm up exercise
2 ปีที่แล้ว +2
Thank you! And sorry about the speed issue, I just wanted to show you what I actually do in real life for my warm up, but I will try to keep that in mind for future videos. :)
Hi Danae, thank you so much for this example according to ' how to warm up'. Currently I'm practicing "trios movements de petrouchka' and "Paganini -variations' by Brahms. I'm working as a MD ( surgery) and sometimes I've approx. 2 hrs time to practice . How do ya think about to 'warm up' directly with that scores? Of course: my individual warm up starts always with Bach ( whatever- partitas, English- suites, Goldberg-variations) and I never use the right pedal ( sostenuto) and warm up always very slow....What is more efficient? I'm not sure.That's why I'm asking. Your strategy works- do doubt and it makes sense! Like it!

Gentilissima professoressa, oltre alla grande utilità dei suoi video , ammiro la sua generosità e determinazione. Cordialmente.
Lullaby words.
‘Go to sleep my digits
The pain will soon be gone
So rest until tomorrow
When fingers will be strong.
With fortitude and courage
You face the road ahead
But soon you’ll be exhausted.
And ready for your bed!
Dana your willingness to share your knowledge with all of us truly honors you and I am deeply grateful !! Really appreciate it...number one ❤🔥
So happy to hear that, thank you!
That’s definitely an angel on the cover of the Janacek CD!
Looks really easy. I'm gonna try it. Thanks!

Este si. Enhorabuena. Este si se ve. Perfecto.
That is a very technical and informative finger exercises. Thank you Danae, continue sharing your technique. Good job !!!
This has woken me up this morning!Fabulous!
I’ve sung a lullaby to my hands afterwards!!
😅😅👌🏻
Brahms lullaby of course!

He is an expert at that 👌🏻🙌🏻
Finally a camera above the keyboard. A long wait. Thanks Danae !!
Haha yes, finally!! 😉 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thank you !!!

I love the trill excercises! They are killing, but essential! 😛
Yes they are my favorite!!
Brahms lullaby of course!
I recently added scales in staccato, one day in major, the other in minor and broken 10th with one note in the middle up and down 5 fast time on one octave in legato.
Love that!!
My goodness you're ready to play Jazz with those tenths!
😉😅
Thank you again! I love this updated warm up‼️
As all your videos, fascinating and inspirational

Merci beaucoup de nous faire partager votre expérience. Explications très claires et utiles pour tous les niveaux .
Merci beaucoup!

This is amazing!!! Thank you so much Danae for your reply and I'm sure visualizing the conductor will help me heaps!!!
I was looking atryour old videos on this subject ahah thanks
😊🙌🏻
ilmu yang sangat baik untuk dipelajari, terima kasih Danae
Oh wow, I'm dying here, Danae, but I love it :) Working on the fifth finger while the others are 'sleeping,' as your teacher put it, feels so weird.

You may be a disallowed left hander, they forced you to use right hand when you were at school.
Fantastc thank you
☺️🙏🏻
Danae, thank you very much for your amazing video. It's very useful for me. Thank you once again. You are really an angel to help people who are suffering how to practice piano exercises. God bless you.
Thanks so much!
I will incorporate these exercises into my practice as much as possible and follow your recommendations 🙏🙏
💪🏻🤗
Thank you so much for your videos! These exercises helped me a lot
So glad to hear that! :) Thanks for watching!
You’re an amazing instructor. How long have you been playing?
Thank you so much! I started playing the piano when I was 5 years old. ☺️🙏🏻
Awesome
Normally No one Teach theirs Great Secrets of success Even if paid. But you r Great my dear friend. But shocking thing wilb These practices are Really tough to me as beginner. Anyway Thanks
Love this video!
🙌🏻🙏🏻
Excellent! Thank you.
😊🙏🏻
Genial, vielen Dank!
🙌🏻🙏🏻
Why move your write clockwise then counterclockwise? How does that help you?
It’s for general release of tension and arm muscle relaxation.
Danae, have you ever had a day when even the music you know well doesn’t want to flow through you fingers? No matter what I did today I could not focus!
My study was a disaster so I went to my favorites and after a few songs that I messed up I gave up.. I know you are very busy and you probably went over this before, so if you get a chance and become very bored, ok !

Absolutely not, I started much much slower! It is totally normal to start at a much slower speed and gradually work yourself up to get faster. All the best for you!
When you are holding one finger and playing another repetitively I notice you are dropping your wrist - is that ok on warmups?
So good!
🙏🏻
How do you increase your speeds to this level? I'm a two year old pianist and my piano teacher of 8 months does not want to teach me about playing fast 🤣. I just want to increase my speed as slow as possible and would love to learn how to do it professionally.
Practice slow

@Vielen Dank, ich werde einiges versuchen . Ist Dein online-Klavierkurs Technik auf deutsch oder mit Untertitel? Alles Liebe!
Instead of exercises, I play excerpts of pieces to warm-up. Do you think this could work as well?
Absolutely! I have many colleagues that do that and, especially if you already have a good technical foundation, this can work very well!
Double notes, Octavias, thirds, sixths are missing
Sarebbe molto interessante!
I love your tutorials.
