Completed Grade 8 classical piano exams, benn through 3 wonderful piano teachers and I must say Jazer, that you have all the wisdom of my piano teachers. You are 💯 % correct ! I've used these techniques and they yield fantastic results. It's hard work but so worth it. Thank you for all the effort and passion you put into your videos.

    I guess this is why I can learn pieces in only like 6 hours of practice. I've been subconsciously using this method (or at least similar, I don't count the amount of correct tries I just do as many as I feel fit until I think I got it), because for one, it works for me, and for two, I can't bring myself to play wrong notes. I hate it. I love hearing the actual piece, and hear it as it comes together. So I pause to think- pause to think- and I'm not satisfied with one section until I've got it down completely.

    I’m a newly retired early intermediate pianist. I have found that breaking the piece down like you did (smaller chunks, hands separately, etc) works well. One thing I’ve had to incorporate was, if I’m working on just one measure, always play at least one note into the next measure. Otherwise I find that the bar line becomes too visual for my brain and may mess up my phrasing or worse, cause hesitation, which I have been working hard to eliminate from my playing.

    playing musically is more to do with phrasing. So practising a Phrase that inevitably goes into to the next bar, will be better for the brain to understand not just the notes, but the musicality and structure when you start to speed up. Phrasing is key and your brain will understand that better than strictly applying bars.

    Not playing a wrong note in the beginning is essential and part of The Tradition. What is missing here is that the speed of playing in the end is inversely related to the speed of practicing. The slower you start practicing, the faster you will be able to play it.

    I always work with phrases, not measures. When the phrase is long or has a particularly difficult segment, I divide it but I make sure to keep each segment I practice musically meaningful in of itself.

What I also practice when I find myself “stuck” is put the piece aside for a couple of days. When I resume I don’t start from the beginning but focus entirely on the bars that have given me grief.

    Agree with all of this. It's tempting to play the entire piece over and over from the sheet music when you still have errors because you have some of it down and it feels good to get that "success" feeling from playing your best measures and phrases. This eats up a lot of time and energy. It's much more efficient to do smaller chunks and memorize/correct as you go.

    I'm 70 and hadn't played in 50 years but about 4 months ago, decided I would buy a piano and just get back into it. I got my new Yamaha P225 yesterday and it was a humbling to stare at that keyboard and not knowing how to start. So I decided to go back to square one and find out where I stood. Over those 4 months of thinking about it, I watched a ton of these videos. This site takes the trophy. Since yesterday, I've decided to find a piece I am determined to learn, to focus on chords and arpeggios, and now this, never play a wrong note. This really gets me amped for practice later today. I call that a good start. I expect to go pro in a couple of weeks. Maybe. OK, that'll never happen but I am now sure I will enjoy the relearning part. BTW, that link to the 2023-2024 Piano Syllabus (I forget what video it was on) was exactly what I needed yesterday . Provides a good reference for tracking my progress and exposing weaknesses. So now I have a plan. Thank you Jazer!

    Great video advice! I’m passing this along to all my students as it confirms everything I tell them. I particularly love what you said about suffering for a few minutes. Although using little pieces of candy to motivate beginners’ suffering does help! They get to pick out several jelly beans or m&ms to reflect the number of times to play correctly. Every time they get the intended passage correct, they get to keep/eat their treat. For every wrong attempt, I eat their choice with great joy and drama. So you better believe they pay attention!!! Lol. May I add? 1 special attention to fingering. Even if you play the correct note but use inconsistent or inefficient fingering it can spell trouble. 2. We do use the correct rhythm so the melody makes sense and starts becoming integrated into their aural conceptions. I don’t allow beginners to gloss over half notes or play eights same as quarters. Yes, that happens!! 🙄Lol. 3. We call your “pause play” stop prepare for difficult spots. Very helpful! 4. And I also stress using proper touches too: staccato, a good firm connected legato, slurs, lifts on rest etc. We use a slow metronome to allow our brains and eyes time to signal our fingers. Except on stop prepare of course. So, the right note at the right time with the correct finger and correct intention. I call this the mechanical phase of learning. Once it’s learned and sped up close to final tempo, we start adding expression: dynamics, balance, tempo bends etc. Thank you so much for addressing and correcting bad practice habits. 😊 it’s great advice and reminders to all of us.

    YES! Learning the incorrect fingering (or not being consistent with fingering) is just as bad as his "play it 10 times wrong hoping for an 11th different outcome" because it just solidifies muscle memory for inefficient fingering! Ditto for proper note durations - it's very easy (even for advanced pianists!) to get used to hearing wrong notes or sloppy phrasing. PS. The candy trick sounds awesome. 😊

    This makes a lot of sense to me. As he was talking, I was wondering whether practicing the wrong rhythm would also create a faulty "muscle memory", just as much as repeating the wrong notes would. I wonder whether any neurologist or psychologist has done experiments to test this: which aspects of playing piano pieces take priority in the memory mechanisms of the brain? (Note sequence, rhythm, fingering, dynamics). Or maybe scientific studies are not needed -- experienced teachers like you can answer the question!😊

    I tell all of my students that there are three more important things than speed; 1. Correct notes, 2. Correct fingering., and 3 correct timing. I love the idea of seven times correctly, but the fingering has to be exactly the same as well. Just getting right notes isn’t enough. Also, it’s helpful to give your brain a chance to sort things out. Neuropathways take time to develop so that the information going between our hands and brain can flow smoothly (muscle memory). As you’ve stated, your brain gets confused if you do it differently each time.

  • @kamlapiano

    Absolutely - You're describing Finger Memory. Some people have a greater predilection for this than others - hence how some pianists can memorise with ease - like me. The next issue is technique Oh how I'd love to have both. This is the first time I've encountered my own musical memory possibly explained. - it's a natural talent but only utilised by the 'don't play a wrong note method' which I've done for decades. It's great to see this. My practise method is to 'play the difficult passages first as slow as it takes to eradicate any notational mistakes' - You are training your brain to communicate with your fingers with the correct notes. Every wrong note leaves a memory in the brain and every time you play that wrong note, your brain is memorising it as the correct one. Whenever I've explained this to other musicians my view gets dismissed. Now I know I'm not crazy like they think. And they still perform with sheetmusic, too terrified to rely on their brain and the natural memory due to bad learning habits. Because from the moment you put up a new piece of sheetmusic and play the first note, your brain is memorizing it. It's so difficult to eradicate wrong memory. I have abandoned some wonderful piano compositions because years ago I learnt wrong harmonies/notes and I cant relearn as my brain still had automatic initial memory when performing under pressure - no matter how much time spent re- learning correctly. It's great playing at home, but performing at a concert under stress , the brain reverts back to the previous memory. At age 64, its become easier to learn pieces from scratch rather than try to eradicate deep rooted memory of existing repertoire . I've ruined pieces from ineffective practise 40 years ago- the brain is very powerful and never forgets that initial finger memory. I wish I'd realised what damage I was creating in my 20s for later on. Thank you for this video. I hope my long😂 comment helps someone x😮

His sight reading is terrible but after a couple of passes, he can memorise the whole thing. Granted these are easy grade 7 sight reading pieces but he's got repertoire pieces like Clair de lune, moonlight sonata 3rd movement and prelude in G minor by rach that he can play from memory. I've never understood how he does that and you might have just given me the insight I need to help him on his piano journey.

It's probably not the best practice, but I've found that it also helps me get rid of tension and remember why I love the piece. Also, I can see the progress I've made in this session alone, which makes me excited to keep practicing (the correct way)!

    Thanks for this advice. I have been struggling with a piece for a couple of weeks and kept repeating wrong notes. I used your method for an hour and I seem to have solved the problem. I am a late beginner. My brain must have been confused because of conflicting input of information but was surprisingly generous when I treated it with a bit of respect. I liked your analogy of a dance teacher not being consistent and confusing the students. Amazing !!

    This techique is so simple yet so clutch.... I'm self taught and never had a teacher so nobody has ever forced me to play with accuracy. I started a new piece last week and made more progress in the last hour than I have over the entire week! Thank you sir for the great tip!

    Thanks for the advice! I find it really accurate. I also like to play my piece rhytmically, but slowly enough to get the notes right. And every trial I can play a little quicker because I get the piece more:)

    As a piano teacher myself, this is EXACTLY how I tell my students to practice !! 😀 This method is soooo efficient ! (I say « 5 times in a row » for complete beginners or young children and « 10 times in a row » for more advanced students, but the idea is the same).

    Truly, I thank you you with all my heart, and am most grateful for the all-meaning, supremely useful lesson on the practice of new (and old) pieces. It is a pearl, and so are you! I put it immediately into practice, and it is a miracle! I am self taught, due to the fact that I suffer from ADHD, or similar condition, and I do not retain teaching points well; now, through your lesson, I found a way of promoting accuracy: an almost impossible goal when learning by repetition. Thank you also for emphasizing the neuromuscular connection; once a piece is learned as you have outlined, then it will be possible to relax the arms and body, with much improved results. Kudos to you.

I just properly tried the rule stopping immediately and correcting any mistakes and then only playing at a speed so slow I couldn't make a mistake. In just 30mins I made enormous progress and I'm so thankful for your video and what you said. Brilliant idea!!

    OMG this makes so much sense, I wish I knew about it 40 years ago! One thing I would mention only hinted at in the video, to aid learning I always play every note using the same finger every time. Usually it’s obvious which finger to use but sometimes it’s not so work out the most comfortable fingering and note those down on the score 1-5. The brain doesn’t actually learn the notes of a piece of music in muscle memory, it only learns the transitional movements between the notes so it’s important to always use the same fingering.
