EVERYONE should watch this video before having to get so far along with their INCORRECT methods that they have to UNLEARN them in order to play the complex pieces & continue to grow on their road to being a virtuoso... thanks you for sharing THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON on how to play scales EVER!

After years of playing Scale, I have never heard of this technique for playing scales. I am amazed by this technique. Thank you.

Yes, I agree! 🎶🎹💙

I was taught to tuck thumb under when playing C major. Rotating the hand is much easier and allows my hand to remain relaxed longer. Thank you for your Info!

After 50 years of playing,, I finally received some very helpful teachings. Thank you.

I have been playing keyboard for several years.. Now after watching your video my speed of playing scale is improved, what a brilliant teacher you are, thank you so much, and please make more videos if possible, thanks again

WOW!!!!!MY FRIEND I AM FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU!!!!YOUR WISDOM HELPED NOT ONLY MY PLAYING SPEED BUT ALSO LEVITATED TENDON FATIGUE I WAS EXPERIENCING IN MY WRISTS THINKING IT WAS FROM OLD AGE!!!!!!!...;- }

Wow. I watched this video with a MINIMUM of concern and attention. And, I learned a very valuable lesson. "ROTATING" the fingers!!! Now for the fun part! "PRACTICING"!

I’m practising on the table whilst watching. Very well explained. Thank you.

Thank you so very very much for this excellent video, Daniel. I have just started on piano (I am a guitarist) and this video answered many of my questions about basic hand technique. I haven't seen a better video about piano scales than this one of yours. Your point about keeping relaxed seems to me to be key to developing good playing technique. Your suggestions will help me avoid hand and finger problems. I've watched the video several times and I see something new every time I review it. Thank you!

Thanks for providing this. I am teaching a piano class which has had to temporarily go online. This is a great resource to help the students in our time apart.

Good lesson. Eliminating tension of the hand is very important. I had to pretty much stop playing from developing carpal tunnel, and tendonitis, and it was all from holding tension in the fingers as I played. Trying to unlearn bad habits is very hard. Too many teachers don't know this stuff.

Thanks, Most teachers on KZread forget that there is a PHYSICAL aspect of playing the piano. Please create some more videos on exercises to develop independent hands and finger dexterity. Thanks again. db

Yes, good point. I agree! 🎶🎹💙

I just started self learning how to play piano so I've been researching tutorials based on my own point blank views on what I should be learning first and this hand technique is the thing I needed but didn't know the names for. Tyvm! I like how elegant the technique is, for such a beautiful instrument.

Thanks for this! I've been wondering how to relax the fingers and getting some speed. This video is a good shortcut to dexterity in fingering. Fine tuning the mechanics of the movement is definitely a wonderful piece of advice.

Excellent tutorial on a very important topic for playing piano properly and easily, without unnecessary tension in fingers. I wish I'd been taught this technique many years ago. Now, I'll be passing it onto my students. Thank you for sharing and spending time to explain. Mucho gracias!

Perfect lesson on technical things of playing the piano. Very helpful

Very helpful. Immediately went to the piano and played a scale at least twice the speed I normally can manage.

I'm a physiotherapist and want to give you the advice to try to heal your arthritis. First you should let check from your doctor wether your problem is arthritis or osteoarthritis. In case of both you can try to cool the local temperature of the affected areas by using ice. I recommand to apply ice 5 minutes daily. For this you take a yogurt cup, fill it with water, put an icecream stick in it, put it in the icebox of your refridgerator and the next day you have your ice on the stick. So you take the yogurt cup, keep it under running warm water until the ice separates from the cup. Then you rub with the naked ice the affected areas for five minutes (with circular movements like using a deodorant roller). And try to do that daily. After a while your body will give you feed back wether it helps or not. If it helps you will continue freely. The other tip is if its osteoarthritis that would mean that parts of the cartilage of the bones that a joint consists of is worn out or dissapeared and bones hits another bone directly which causes the pain. In this case you can try to rebuild the cartilage. You must know that the brain will start to build up or produce cartilage whenever it is needed. The brain will activate the regeneration of the dissapeared cartilage when two kinds of stimulus are given. Either one or two or both and that is if you pull a joint or if you exercise pressure upon a joint. Pulling the two bones of a joint apart from each other always relaxes a joint because on every joint naturally is a certain degree of a pressure in order to give the joint a certain degree of strength. So my advice is. Pull each of your fingers in its length. So try it with every joint. Each finger has three joints and you can pull all three joints separately. When you pull don't pull hard. Pull just a little with feeling. Try to feel it when you pull your fingers. When you do it correctly your body gives the feedback and will tell you something like: oh. That feels good. I like that. Oh that actually relaxes the joint or something like that. And attention: just a little, a fine pull. Do that as much and as often you like but as a recommendation do every joint: 5×3 joints ten times, ten pulls. You can also keep the pull and hold it for a couple of seconds. That's also possible. Try to do it as a habit every day. The more you do of this exercise the quicker the regeneration can happen. There's no garantee that it works but try it. I could help a lot of poeple with this method.

@@jelmermulder7276 this I responded to someone that told in this comment threat that he can't stretch his fingers on the piano very far because of pain caused by arthritis, that is the inflammation of the joints of the fingers. Because I'm a professional physiotherapist I gave tips for practical exercises what one with arthritis can try in order to heal the disease. And because I thought: maybe there are more people with arthritis that watch this video. So I decided to make this personal response public so that anyone that needs healing can give it a try. That was the idea. Now you know. You might have healthy joints but believe me there are those that have unhealthy joints of their fingers and suffer pain and suffer in general particularly when one loves to play the piano but is unable because of the pain. The general opinion of people and the medical world is that there is no cure to this disease. But I study healing since almost 30 years and made experiences with healing and know by experience that it is possible to heal a disease that the medical world sees as incurable.

@** This is what I learned. When you exert pressure upon a joint or when you pull on a joint, the brain activates the reinforcement of the joint in order to handle the exerted force. When as an example you carry daily a bucket with 10 kg load the bones must become stronger to be able to withstand the force. And part of this reinforcement is the cartilage. I can't remember anymore whether I read it in a book or whether a teacher taught us in the training. I know by experience that it works, because I healed in several cases patients with arthritis and arthrosis and their pain ceased after I pulled on the joint in a couple of treatments. Sometimes it needs a couple of months until there's an effect but it works.

This video totally changed my way of playing!! Its so much smoother, clean and easier now! Thank you

Thank you so much, I've never been taught how to move my hands over the keys like this! I can't wait to practice this.

Best information on all internet! Thank you so much for the trick, I learned to tuck thumb under, and its hard! This way is so much better

I've never even considered movements like this. Excellent lesson! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.

You are awesome bro. I was thinking the fingering is the most important thing to learn in piano when I was driving home . Then to stumble across your video from another channel on piano was just amazing . Thank you . I'm doing the same mistake with the fingers as you highlighted in this video. It was helping me with the correct timing though .

I started with the 'Thumb under' technique (see e.g. Zach Evans) which was o.k. for the beginner, and which meant playing at very slow speed and acknowledging every single key. But as soon as I was ready to speed up, the movements shown here, very similar to Aleksander Woronicki's, really make a difference. The feeling of total relaxation is just fantastic.

This is helpful- like many people I’ve played scales with the under thumb technique before- exhausting- this is so much better

Never hate your scales, love the opportunity to practice scales. Scales are the bed rock from which a great musician is created.

I always like when someone presents a new, unknown, but better way of making things. Haven't experience yet your technique, but I'm pretty sure it's very good. Thank you very much for sharing. This is something similar with the introduction of A shape for classical guitar players, which prevents bad back posture, even if all the scholar teachers recommend it...

What an amazing and informative tutorial. Haven’t come across any of this anywhere. God bless you for sharing this with the world. THANK YOU !

I have been trying to find this secret for a long, long, time. I knew there had to be some type of pattern to it and now that you have shown it in slow motion I can really move forward.

I just watched this. Thank you for sharing to us. I will have to study this.

Thanx a lot yes I am a beginner and I practice scale by putting fwd the thumb under 2nd and third finger but now with this trick it’s really helpful and works amazing it will take time for consciously to practice it but it’s really good way thank you so much

I an clearing out a space for the piano I am going to buy and I am so glad to get these points that will get me off on the right foot and make the learning more practical and quicker. It really makes sense.

wow, instantly easier Wow, I've heard of this technique before , but did't keep it in mind, but I will from now on, Thks a lot.

Wow, no all pianist domain this technique, and can’t teach these in easy way. Congratulation. My respect for you. I will recommend you to all my friends. 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I have missed this very useful lesson until now. Thank you soooo much.

I am glad I ran into this video. I learned how to not stress my fingers. Very useful technique.

That is the most helpful lesson I have ever seen! I wish I had been taught this when I was starting to learn. Going to work on it now. Thank you.

Wow! I've never heard of any of this. It's great!

This "Rotation-Tipp" speeded up my scale-playing about 30 % ...immediatly... just by knowing it and keep it in mind and made them smoother and even more musically. Thanks a lot. :-) Great.

This is something I have never seen anyone show on KZread. This was an awesome lesson. Thank you.

Great job....I think I finally understand modes....I knew it was playing the scale from a different starting note...but I thought the intervals stayed in place playing all naturals....I see now it is playing the second while moving the intervals....thanks...

This video has helped me understand why I struggle at times with playing scales fast in the songs I am learning. Practicing with this video has helped me get it right! Thank you so much for explaining everything detail and making it simple for us to understand. I'm sure I can speak for all when I say we truly appreciate you and your teachings! Please don't stop making videos. They are so valuable. You definitely have a new subscriber.

Super ... Krásně to předvádíš , ale já se teprve učím , takže je to na mě moc rychlé.Ale zvládnu tu techniku...moc děkuji ...

As a beginning piano learner with arthritis thought I would have to give it up because my hands were always so tense (and lock up) But with your method I can relax my fingers and let them go where they would normally go and keep my fingers straighter. (had already cut my fingernails way down). Wow, my new keyboard is safe and so are my hands. I was never intending to go fast like you, just play without pain and injury. Thank you that you gave hope to so many others like me.

Many thanks for your expert tuition. Excellent! I’m ok playing multiple octaves up and down with each hand independently, however, I’m having great difficulty in coordinating the hands and fingering playing down the scales, hands together. If I can play up the scale I don’t understand why I’m unable to coordinate coming down the scale. I would be most grateful for any tips and advice.

Magical fingers !! Thanks so much .

Thank you for passing along this invaluable knowledge and insight...

Thank you!!! Needed that so much !

Thanks for this! Rolling makes my wrist feel so much better. I wish I had known about this years ago!

Thank you for helping by this video.. I like your fingering on the scales.. it's very helpful

I'm very excited to find this!

Wow I can’t wait to try this! Thank so much for this video🤗

Thank you very much DLLPiano, great information!

Thanks this is very enlightening.I will now practice my scales this way.

this is a new an EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE DUDE! Muito OBRIGADO!

Thank you for sharing these techniques.. Very helpful!

GREAT VIDEO I WILL TRY AND UNDERSTAND IT AND LISTEN TO IT AND TRY TO PLAY IT WITH THOSE FUNDEMTALS

I love those movements of your fingers on scales and it looks very easy but definitely not that much, But, still I'm gonna try this because I need to learn to play those scales

I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano & this was the best info I've learned thus far.......thumbs skywards thx .....9 13 19

Very good tip. I am trying to practice

Thank you ever so much. Just beautiful! Thank you.

Fantastic video. I thought this would be over my head, as a piano beginner. But as a guitar player; my teacher told me to be patient; my left handed fingers will actually grow longer once I relax and let the fine tune muscles build. Drop your shoulders, relax your neck, too! I really enjoyed this!

Thank you for video. I am practicing and this video helps a lot. I love my neighbors compliments of my upwright.

Awesome tip... thank you so much 👍💕

very useful for a beginner like me. Thank You!

Oh, good tips, good teacher and good lesson !!

Very great video. Thank you for teaching me the rotational part of the hand.

So simple and effective teaching sir....Respect for you...

wonderfully enlightening

Great lesson. Thank you very much!

nice video.. we do have piano but i dont have any idea for playing it. now ive followed ur tricks . and enjoyed it. thanks

Thank you. I'll try this out.

很庆幸看到了这个视频，非常有帮助，感谢！

If I'm playing a song in Cmaj, and my left hand is playing the C, can I play any of the notes in the following scales as the melody with my right hand: C Lydian, C Dorian, C Lydian-Dominant, or C Half-Dimished scale?

This is great. I want to learn more on piano but I don't have it on my own. I Can't afford to buy but since I watch this, I want learn again and this video refresh my mind. I wish that someday, I can buy keyboard even if it is secondhand or cheapest one. Hehe My dream 😇😇

Thank goodness I am completely happy playing very slowly. Great video regardless, thank you! ✋🙂

Amazing tutorial! Thanks

God bless you! I'm a new student (though BEFORE I knew anything about piano GOD gave me a song on a keyboard)! "Love You Lord!" was written in 1993 to celebrate my 21st Anniversary in JESUS! I'm learning piano now, and YOU are the FIRST online teacher to tell me NOT to tuck my thumb! I'm expecting the scales to come MUCH easier now! Thank you! 💞

That's exactly how I teach my student, explaining them techniques, considering length of the fingers.

Wonderful.. You are the great teacher..

Very valuable lesson,thank you ❤️🙏💐
