Great video . Is there a link to the book he just mentioned. I couldn’t read the title. Also are there other videos for this technique . I just started taking piano and my upper back is killing me i had to stop. I am sure i am doing it all wrong. Love to know the link to the book he held and to any videos. Thanks.
I've made my video of exercises to stabilize and strengthen the low back. 30 seconds a day, but it's best to do them every day. Don't complain, it's only 30 seconds. Bonus would be techniques for the shoulders and hands. Oh My Aching Bach

When I adjudicate youth piano competitions, I observe that some performers fall in love with the graceful movement at the expense of expressive and structurally sound playing. This is especially notable with those who study with Russian pedagogues.

Good exposition of the basic movements used in the Russian style of playing. Although in the earlier Russian method ( late 19th Century) there was a concept of a strong arch in the hand, famously demonstrated by Vladimir Horowitz. Unfortunately, no one teaches this position any more. Not even in the Russian Federation.

My Russian violin coach had me sit down at the piano one day and demonstrate my approach to the piano. Needless to say, her response was memorable. To this day, now years later, I struggle to unlearn tension. Graceful, fluid movements on the piano, as well as the violin, make the music so much sweeter.

If the finger supports the weight of the hand... well ok this instrument is not for me. I mean this is a nightmare, if i have to think about all that stuff. 1) Every method where you have to make a continuous effort to think, while playing, is wrong. 2) Every method, as here, where you think only vertically, is PLAIN WRONG ! i tested them ALL every thinkable idea of playing (an upright piano) so many, that i forgot them I all. I cam up every day with a new idea. Vertical thinking is wrong. The piano isn't a drum. You have to shuffle the hand (and wrist) in order to bring fingers close to the keys. By the way, a teacher isn't interested to give away his wisdom, which is so precious. What else should he teach you next ?
@laurenth7187 Жыл бұрын
It's hasn't to do with ANY method ! before the method you have to be able to PLAY, and no one can really teach you that and some will fail, because they will never find the right combination of forces and moves to play.

Because of that I specialized in shoulder problems, and by extension for upper extremity. I will be filming a video for my exercises that I give to stabilize and strengthen the low back and abdominals, which take 30 seconds to a minute per day. And then I have some exercises and self-treatment for the shoulders, forearms, wrists and hands. Thanks for this video, I will apply it in my journey to learning the piano.
