  • Just like anything you do in life, the more you do it, the easier it gets. Muscle Memory can stay with you for a very long time. Muscle memory is similar to computer programming and it is like your movements are programmed so when you begin to play piano; you do not have to actively think as much as you recall the motor memory in your fingers. This is why experienced pianists who have practiced a lot have their muscle memory already developed, and thus they can perform without thinking. #PianoLesson #LearnPiano #PianoStudent #AlamoPianoLesson

    Ted nailed it. My teacher would give me a new piece every week and expect me to play it perfectly. I was never told to play slowly. I was never told to work on the difficult passages first and never told to play them over and over again. I was also never told to ‘read’ the music first. It was just ‘play from beginning to end’. I’ve learned more from RUclips than from years of lessons. No wonder after eight years I quit because my lessons were so stressful. Now, decades later I am starting again on my new piano, an SK6. Your reviews helped me choose my piano and your words of wisdom have been taken to heart. Even thinking of trying lessons again. Thank you. My husband and I are hoping to visit San Antonio in the next year or two and plan to visit your store.

      Hear! Hear! I've learned more from the stuff I've found on-line than I ever learned from the FIVE--count em--FIVE teacher I've had over the years!

    I'm a stenograph student, and this is so much related to my career! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :D

      I was a stenographer in a previous life. I wish I knew piano before starting that career; it would have helped a lot and I might still be doing it. There were occasional discussions in school about whether piano playing skills were applicable to the stenotype machine, and now I know they absolutely are applicable.

    Understandable and impressive explained! We need more like this piano teacher! The more you told me, the more I smiled, nodded my head! You understand how to excite people to play an instrument! Thank you for that!

    Coming back after 40 years, muscle memory was rusty but some came back. Never learned good technique, so I need that. I have to try that contrary scale idea for a few hundred to see what happens. Great timing for this video. Many thanks!

      I know where you are coming from. I’m coming back after a 15 year absence. My teacher never taught me this way. It’s so much easier now

    Ted, do you teach online? (I'm in Canada 🇨🇦) You are so talented and knowledgeable. Oh, and I love your smooth voice 🎤🎹🙋‍♀️ Cheers!

    Funny thing is, just at the moment I'm learning songs for my choir - we sing without sheet music - and it's the same story: go slow, do it again and again, then after a time everything gets easier :-)

    Great advice for muscle memory. If you're just starting out your left hand training octaves play the left hand bridge part of Lady Madonna by the Beatles (McCartney is a left handed piano player)
    (pinky-thumb pinky thumb)
    D-D C-C B-B A-A G-G G-G 4G taps with the thumb (Friday night arrives without a suitcase)
    C-C B-B A-A G-G F-F G-G A-A B-B C-C E-E (Sunday morning creeping like a nun)
    D-D C-C B-B A-A G-G G-G 4 taps with the thumb (Monday's child has learned to ties his bootlace)

    I'm a beginner 5 months. I'm taking a course off RUclips. From beginning learning the very basics. RUclips has no beginning and no ending. All there is are titles. Sometimes you get lesson 1 but most of the time videos are all jumble up general. I didn't feel I could trust my learning to RUclips.

    But I was told that "muscle memory" is the memory that will fail you when the room is different, there is a noise anything that did not exist when you learned it during - performance.

    I wonder if we could become a professional pianist in seconds like in the Matrix movies, would we really appreciate it in the same way?

    By the way... Tell me, where is Texas Tim Root? I liked to introduce his way of pianos so much! Did he retire?

    i have been learning The Entertainer for almost a year and i can't seem to get past the first section. Jumping from chords to chords in time is so difficult. Do you have any advice of how you would use muscle memory to learn a piece?

    • @bstein9500
      @bstein9500 Год назад +2

      Metronome. Set it slow enough that you can think about it and get the transition in time. If you really want to focus, one chord power beat. Then the full measures holding the time.. Play it until you can fill the measures with each chord and make the change. Once you've done that, boost your speed by 5bpm and okay it until you're smooth again. Then bump it another 5bpm. If you go back to yesterday's tempo and it's too far, slow it down so you're correct and try again the next day. It's not a race. It's burning engrams. It sounds painful, but you've spent a year. If you had started at 20 BPM and changed 5bpm per week (of it comes faster, change it faster) over that year your chord changes would be at 280 BPM. Slow is fast. Metronome suck, and they are absolutely essential. No metronome and you will tend to wander all over the place.
