I never thought I could play this without thinking about each finger individually and which note it lands on. You made it so simple and enjoyable. Thanks for making it fun!
Wonderful, helpful and encouraging video on learning to play fast with ease and security. I like that you pointed out that being able to play fast is an accessible skill that can be learned no matter what playing level we are at and can be applied to any music we are working on. Your demonstration of breaking down a complex passage into manageable chunks of information that the brain can process and finding the patterns within the passage is so helpful!✨✨✨
Excellent ! I never get tired of these videos because they are also about recognizing patterns and other helpful information about learning that you so masterfully reintroduce.
Being able to recognice patterns has been a huge thing for me on my piano journey. Speed is one thing. But it is also helpul in learning (some) pieces faster - Like som sort of supplement to the other learning techniques you have taught 🙂
One way to easily remember the 2nd pattern is by seeing it as chords: an E-flat, followed bij a G chord : G - Flat 6 The first one is kind of a D-minor with flat 5th, added 4th: Dm-flat5 add4 (not really a sus4) Knowing chords instantly turns the patterns into 1 thing to remember, instead of 4 notes. Of course, it's stil important to play each note and give attention to each note, but seeing this as a chord progression not only makes things easier to remember but also gives more insight into the composition: instead of the run, try it with only the essential chord notes of Dmin-flat5 & G-Flat6. You'll then get: 3x (Ab-F-D, Eb-B-G) and you'll hear the "meaning" of this run. You can even just play the basic chords 3times and hear it's a bit of the same composition: play the chords (not arpeggio) 3x (Ab-F-D then Eb-B-G). You'll still recognise the run in it. This way of thinking instantly can help remembering the notes quickly when seeing you play them, before actually seeing the notes written down and explained.
Yes, that is also a great way to organize information! I've learned that if I put too many ways of seeing things in one video, people tend to tune out. Keeping things streamlined here lol.
@@ThePianoKeys Yes, you are 100% right there of course. I totally understand. Luckily, by me writing something like this in a comment, it doesn't sit in the way of that and who knows it's some useful info maybe for somebody somewhere, lol.
@@ThePianoKeysI appreciate! I have been trained in music theory, but for me still the pattern recognition is a more accessible way for me to pull the notes off the page and put them into my fingers. The harmonic analysis may inform my overarching concept of the piece and where we are going in this moment, but for me in my playing journey right now, this is what helps. Notes, intervals, accidentals, shapes, and LABELS. So pattern 1, pattern 2, is helpful, but for that matter, I can name my patterns or sections whatever I want - Eloise, Matilda, General Tso - as long as my fingers have all that programmed information as to where they need to land, the name is arbitrary. And that's actually freeing to me, who has had the importance of harmonic analysis drillled into me - ultimately - code the fingers however makes sense, use all the tools, and then label it. So eventually that label can just be whatever the piece is, and all those little chunks of patterns just drop into place. I hope!

Thanks for the video on patterns and chunking. It’s amazing how you take something difficult and make it look easy.
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful. 😊
I agree with you. Marina's approach to simplification is phenomenal

Absolutely, Jan! So many benefits to gain just from finding the patterns in music.
Your piano tone sounds very good even in the bass (extreme left) keys, may I know the model? and your technique is very innovative out of the box.
Great tips. Which electric piano are you using?
