Muscle memory 🧠🙌🏻🎹 yes not easy but build it up. Slow to fast. Nice playing and great post Dr Benjamin and yes your tips are helpful. Drs know how to study. We can all learn from each other. Thanks 🙏🏻
It’s great to be reminded of slowing down and focussed practice. Thank you. Just a question. I used to be told to practice slowly with metronome and then sometimes in different rhythms to help with the mind mapping of fingerings. What do you think of that as a tool?
Very good explanation because i have a big problem with playing piano i practice but it looks like i never played a piano before and that is very dusgusting
I have practised nearly every day for the last 50 years and I have built up so many bad habits in that time that I still sound like a beginner. I have NEVER played one piece without umpteen mistakes!
My apologies for adding my two cents here, but I don't quite agree with the recommendation of never making mistakes at the piano by all costs. This type of teaching seems to be very popular these days, but I'm not sure I agree. Maybe it is a good tip for more advanced students preparing for competition, but shouldn't beginners be allowed to explore and learn from their mistakes? In all other disciplines (like learning a foreign language or dancing) we are encouraged to speak or move even if we are not absolutely perfect. Why should music be any different?
Thank you for your wonderful insight! I think we are talking about two different things here. Yes, a child needs to feel comfortable and safe to make mistakes. The spirit of exploration helps a child engage and grow the love of music which I strongly encourage. I think that's what you were alluding to. However, what I was talking about in the video is the precision of practice, which is a completely different topic. I think I could sum it up like this, "it would be wise to make as many mistakes as possible; it would be foolish though to make the same mistake repeatedly."
I think because of muscle memory. If we play a section with incorrect notes 3 x and once correctly, we are ingrained the wrong ones. That makes sense to me, since part of our learning is muscular.
Comment for the audio. The Piano sound is way too loud compare to the voice. I had to turn my volume to 90% to hear you talk, but had to turn down to 40-50% when you start playing the piano. But great Video!
I agree that the content of your video is excellent -- concise and clear. To improve the balance between voice and piano, you might get some valuable tips from this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/Lwrvbw_YZyM/w-d-xo.html It requires some technical knowledge and more equipment, but the worth of your instructions will benefit from the effort and expense. I wish you well!

This helps so much thank you once again for these quick and effective guides.
That”Searching “ idea is a wonderful reminder. Thanks a lot
"Teaching your hand to do a wrong motion" probably was the best advice i've heard in years, thanks a LOT
I was blown away when I found this tube. These tips are priceless. I love how you keep it simple and logical.
Wow, thank you! That means a lot!
This advice is gold!!! Thank you immensely!
It's so true and I know it! Now the only question remaining is how to delete 35 years of bad habits from my brain...

Very accurately and humbly explained. Very much appreciated.
I appreciate it!
Even w slow practise you will encounter some search motions. They are not completely avoidable when memorising
Yes correct! We try our best to practice our choreography without too many unnecessary motions.
This is wisdom from Rachmaninov who practice the slow method. Wonderful wisdom/ Thank you Dr. Benjamin.😊

Absolutely! I would say anything that could help your mind recognizes patterns is a win in practice.
@@benwongpiano thank you. I will continue yon use it where necessary.

Practice one measure at a time….Perfectly, perhaps 7 times or more slowly I was also told. I do 49 times. Cause I’m 78!

Mistakes can be met with encouragement as part of the process. The Slow Method eliminates mistakes and improves confidence. Perfect….do it again!
