Argerich said once that she never practiced scales but I think she is saying the truth cuz if you practice the whole repertory you won't need to, so sometimes just playing instead of playing etudes is conterproducing

Thank you for the video. My wrists and fingers always hurt after i play and not one teacher seem's to be able to show me how to stop this from happening. I've asked them to show me techniques and they say it just "comes with time" or "keep playing scales" before you start to warm up. During the Pandemic i found one teacher who was classically trained and said he used the Tauberman technique but he would only do lessons via WhatsApp video which just seemed ridiculous ( didn't have Skype). It's so hard to find a good teacher so i've taken a break before i injure myself. These videos are helpful but just wish there were more good teachers around.

"We are here to play music, not be scale robots" wisdom right there. This is why I am subed ✌️

I stopped playing classical music for 3 years and practising my scales and technique exercises, so I can focus more on church songs. I started again a few days ago, and I subconsciously did some of these things you said. I will implement the rest as well. Thank you. 🙏

Hi, Talking about working hard, there's a very good example : Cortot. He wasn't a child prodigy He wasn't accepted in Paris Conservatory because of his lack of knowledge A Chopin's student, who was a teacher there, took him for free in his class for a year. Then he went into Conservatory. He failed 3 times the final exam. But today he his considered as an amazing pianist, a great teacher, and co-founded a private school of music.

11:16 This gave me goosebumps wow that beautiful

I watch these videos for tips for my own students but they always help me more than I'd first like to admit. Thanks again Josh!

Thanks Josh

I cannot believe these videos are free! They are so incredibly helpful

Is amazing that your content is free, oh my Josh. Greetings from Mexico!

Thanks for the video Josh! I had some problems with improving at the piano recently, and I was really close to quit playing piano completely (I play about two years now) but this video motivated and inspired me! Your tips are really helpful, especially the mental tips!

Thanks Christophe!

Great advice. My sister gave me the link to this video today, and these ideas will help while practicing a particularly tricky coda! Thank you!

Thanks for this! Helped me to recenter when my teacher recently took a sabbatical.

Great tips, thank you! A bit of trivia… the late great Chick Corea was a big proponent of symmetrical practicing. :)

Thanks for this insightful tips on rebuilding. I have just been asked to relearn the aeolian harp. Your tips come timely.

Thank you so much! Great advice! Greetings from Madrid, Spain 🙏🏻💖🎶🎵💖

Wonderful! Thanks.

So many great advices

Greetings from Mexico! I have small hands, and change fingering whenever I need to. I was blessed to have studied with a master piano teacher for 11 years. That said, fast octaves are still challenging for me. Jumps are no problem for me, though. Something that helped me a lot was Barbara Lister-Sink’s 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙙 video. She now has a channel here on KZread.

Thanks Josh! These are great tips that I will use in my practice.

This is a wonderful lesson!

Thank you, Josh. You emmit such a positive feeling in your videos, it is very encouraging.

Very interesting. Will implement these.

Thank you josh, me and my teacher love your videos

Very helpful video - thanks! I know from my own experience that some of these tips work well and you have just given me extra ideas to try out!!

Thank you so much for this amazing video Josh!! I've started using it today in my practice sessions and it made visible differences! I felt particularly encouraged by your suggestion of being creative while practising. Thanks and hope you're well!! Love from Australia

thank you

Hi Josh great tips and insights I'm. Working on bortkiewicz etude op 15 no9 which is OK but still lumpy and and I've tried slow practice. Short fast practice a bit of dotted rhythm etc but can't seem to get it

This is exactly what I needed, thank you!!

Very helpful, thank you. yes, playing a phrase in a different key somehow can free up the difficulty that you may have been experiencing before. That must be a brain thing.

Thx brother Josh, have a blessed weekend :)) Sam 🎵

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the part of ballade 4 at 11:15 the same technique that Chopin employs in etude opus 25 no 12? For anyone struggling with that part, would it not make sense to suggest that they study this etude?
