That's exactly the piece I'm going for! This is a great help, because I was completely stuck trying to figure out how to do the double-taps and triplets.
my skill level is definitely not at a point where the techniques and concepts you share in your videos could be applied to their best use lol but i love how there are things beginners and even non musicians could really pick up from them ❤ your talent and passion for sharing is so inspiring
@Tzaddi Esguerra, at the very least it gives you something to aspire to. That's how I grew in playing piano. I learnt for my level but also listened to a bunch of things above me. Eventually I could add some of them to my playing with practice so that I'm always growing, even if it's very gradual
I use an “upright grand” which is just an upright that actually can attempt the actions of a grand, however, the quality of sound and mechanics will never be as good as an actual grand. For instance, playing the Hungarian rhapsody no.2 by Liszt on an upright grand is much easier compared to a regular upright due to how it can facilitate glissandoes (of any type, like:chromatic and octave glissandoes due to how ease it provides to press notes, not much effort is needed to actually play any note ) , fast and buttery scales, and repeated notes/octaves-which appears in Hungarian rhapsody 6
I'm not a piano player. Heck I haven't had a piano in the same house as me for the past 20 years. I took lessons when I was 7~8, and it didn't end well. I've been playing guitar for 15 years (with a lot of hiatus). And yet, I still hold the piano dear in my heart, I still picture piano keys when reading sheet music. And I *love* watching and hearing Nahre's videos, for no particular purpose. I may glean a thing or two that could prove useful for my music journey, but 99% is because it's just interesting and a genuine pleasure to listen to. Cheers
Wow, that Schimmel is SO responsive. Love the sound of your exercises, especially the left hand version. And I could listen to your voice all day. (Don't worry, I'm not obsessing.)
@@LatoTomatoSchimmel has just two ranges of grand and upright pianos, the Konzert and the Classic, and each range features just a few models. Schimmel uses the same Renner action in all the grands (regardless of size) and the same same Renner action in all the uprights. The difference between the models is not the action but the soundboard and other materials. This means all Schimmel pianos feel very similar out of the factory. In any case, this responsiveness is normal in a well regulated Renner action or any other very high quality action.
I actually said the same thing when I saw little tybee for the first time, I thought it was neat that Josh Martin was using a classical piano technique. I'm surprised that he's the first to really develop it for contemporary guitar.
I can finally do repeated notes faster than 120 bpm because of this video....So much fun... thank you for making a really detailed, thoughtful explanation. Being able to slow the video down and watch how your hand executes it was the key to understanding it for me. I was holding too much tension in my wrist and I can see how you allow it to move freely to facilitate the fingers. The other point I was missing was the curved finger/circular motion thing. Such a simple thing but it made all the difference in the world.
Nahre, this is an amazing demonstration and already my repeated notes are vastly improved. I am now following your lead and improvising combinations of duplets, triplets, quadruplets in exercises using all combinations. Thank you very much. You are a gift to the piano world! Kindly, Steven
It seems like it's one of her compositions. Have you checked Nikolaï Kapustin ? You might like his compositions if you liked this little excerpt from Nahre Sol.
This is the best pianistic video of anything i've ever seen in youtube. Looking forward for that video on repeated octaves technique, or loose wrist you mention!! Thank you a lot :)
Great video. One thing I would like to add is how the action of the piano can affect the repetition. Repetitions are more difficult to do on uprights compared to grands and a suboptimally regulated piano will also make repetition more difficult.
Thank you for making this video!! I watched like two other videos but they didn’t really explain how you’re supposed to get your finger off the key fast enough for the action to reset, so I was just straining my fingers/tendons and getting frustrated. I finally found your video, and you explained it perfectly!! The curved fingers with circular motion is what I needed to hear and see, and I’ve already gotten like 20% faster in just a day or two. Again, thank you!! Super helpful.
I've recently come across this sound of repeated notes on the piano as a beginner and I would say I really appreciate the range and expressiveness of the piano now. I hope to learn to the point where I could utilize such technique soon. hahaha
"Zen and the Art of the Piano Practice". This is a wonderful video Nahre Sol. Your teachings make the musical mountains manageable. Your professor's five finger, one note, fourth beat, technique is brilliant in its simplicity. Do you realize what you have done teaching this tip Nahre Sol? You have just answered the ancient Zen question, "what is the sound of one hand clapping". 🎹👋🎹 Enlightened my mind, thank you Nahre Sol.🙏 Happy practicing to you too. Hope you hear your unwritten songs whispering to you daily. Until your next visit on RUclips. 🙋😀🙋
This is very helpful. I am composing and arranging for piano and I searched out single note tremolo on piano and found your video. Excellent video...thanks!
found this video in my recommended, i assumed it was just "oh lol im gonna play this song really fast", absolutely not, it was a full on tutorial. Thanks for the nugget of information.
Thank you so much! I remember watching musicians play pieces similar to the ones you played and trying to imitate what they were doing but never really being able to do it. This video does justice for explaining things simply enough that my slow ass can understand. Thank you so much!
The staccato triplet with 3-2-1 is very very common in Irish traditional piano music - interesting to see a video on repeated notes like this! It’s tricky but when you get it it just clicks and stays.
Thank you Nahre. Your videos are so informative and so easy to watch. They have taken me right out of my comfort zone and given me something to aspire to. Love and peace x
Love this tutorial Nahre, and amazing composition too. Tough on black notes - especially 5432! Love your different style and interpretations. Thanks you dear Nahre. 👏🙏
Guess it's time to give Chopin's Op. 18 another try! Also this reminds me of a crazy fugato section in Liszt's Totentanz. That's right, a fugato passage with all fast repeated notes...
Very helpful! Please make a video on how to reduce/eliminate tension in the arms and hands when playing repeated chords, such as in Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor? One of my many nemeses!
Really well described... this is the sort of video that inspires me with new song ideas and also helps sharpen my piano skills.... which, as a guitarist and singer, need all the help they can get! 👍🎶🎹
I have been wondering lately how I can expand my improv more percussive ways. This video was great inspiration, thanks! The curved fingers makes some ideas I had possible.
Ahah this brings me back, a guy i shared my locker with in music school was learning the Scarlatti and for weeks and weeks he would practice the multiple finger thing on every surface his right hand could find. Everyone would look at him and try to do it with equal timing but nobody could except older pianists.
Even though my technique isn't there for playing this material yet, it is still a very pleasurable to watch your video and be inspired by this. I especially find the "close up" view of the video very cool! Just want to say thanks and look forward to seeing more!
Lang Lang could really learn a lot from you on how to teach piano technique. His “lessons” on RUclips are an absolute joke compared to yours. You really are on a whole other level and I have nothing but gratitude for your effort and care on creating these online lessons.
Fascinating: In the guitar context, Robert Fripp has discussed similar principles. He points out that after fretting a note, the idea is not to take the fingers off the the string; doing so makes a second movement. Instead, simply release the pressure on the string, which (per Fripp’s description) completes initial movement.
Thank you ❤ I cut the top of my thumb somehow while handling a cart at the grocery store. Super random and I wasn't aware of what happened before a while later so I can't even explain how it happened 😂
Just what are you thinking insulting Nahre like that? This is not talent. This is skill. She didn't get it handed on a silver platter. She earned it. Through hard work. Lots and lots of hard work. And then more work. And more work still. For every note that we get to hear, she has to play ten thousand notes that we don't. "Extreme talent", in this context, is just a shorthand for "I could do this, too, but I am extremely lazy". She is not a genius by the grace of God. She is an accomplished master of her craft. Show some respect.
What is wrong with you, man? Where do you get I am insulting her from? I admire her. Have you seen her other videos? Stop posting comments with no value.
Your instruction is fantastic! Thank you for all the great insight. You make it seem so effortless. I enjoyed your Scarlatti and your original composition very much! Edit: Also, the Circle of Fifths exercise is amazing!
Your own example at 3:16 reminded me of a piece by guitarist Ben Monder called Orbits, which also happens to be in G and cycles around the bass note too. I don't play piano but sonically and musicaly it sounds refined and articulate.
Very interesting ! Another important point is the quality and precision of the piano mechanics. It can be very hard to do fast repeated notes when the key does not respond fast enough...
I love it Nahre ❤ this is so helpful for the Valse Brilliante I'm practicing right now, and maybe, La Campanella in the future? You've earned 1 sub from me, keep on the great work
thank you for making this video. it is a very insightful explanation for this technique and a promising discovery for me. previously, i was learning under a very proficient piano teacher, but unfortunately i moved out of the area and could no longer continue my lessons. since then, i struggled to find someone with the experience or technical knowledge of my former teacher, and i eventually gave up looking for a new teacher. that is, until today when i saw this video, three days before i leave for boot camp lol. i never would have thought that such an intuitive lesson could be portrayed in a video, much less on youtube! that being said, im having a real hard time figuring out tremolos. especially when the tremolo switches its notes from white keys to black keys. maybe you could make a video about it ? any help would be appreciated 👍
I'm a trumpet player, so this has barely any application to me but I had a lot of fun watching this.
I like your voice too
Thank you!! 😊🙏
The finger version of double/triple/+ tonguing
I've been looking for a solid video in this for SOOOO LONGG!!! I'm learning La Campanella, so my fingers need to be hyperfast 😂
Elyas Stephens ha. Good luck!
@@alex0589 Thanks lol, I'll need it
That's exactly the piece I'm going for! This is a great help, because I was completely stuck trying to figure out how to do the double-taps and triplets.
hows it going?
Elyas Stephens how did it go ?

Use Hanon.
"This is part of a piece I wrote."
Okay but where's the soundcloud link? Album? Anything?
We NEED a Nahre Sol EP.
R.I.P. me trying to play this on my upright piano 😵😵😵
Damn you gravity! There's no way my upright plonker could give that action either.
HAHAHAHAHA im laughing out of pure pain because I know this struggle all too well :'(
you're not alone pal :((
Me too. It's a whole different ballgame.

She’s still a good player tho albeit
You break down the mechanics so simply and clearly. Thank you!

Very reminiscent of Josh Martin's "Glitch Tapping" on guitar. Really cool video 😄

I like muted tap ons ;)

Always a pleasure to me watching your creative vedeos. Thanks for sharing !
i remember the alhambra..
Including the modes during practice was so awesome and made me so happy. I feel like not enough people would think to do that.
found this video in my recommended, i assumed it was just "oh lol im gonna play this song really fast", absolutely not, it was a full on tutorial. Thanks for the nugget of information.
Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F III mov. was the piece that forced me to learn repeated note technique. This was great.
Your videos are clear, concise and practical. No blurb just the good stuff and your technique is fantastic. 👍
Always such a thrill watching your videos...
plz never stop
Thank you!!
Nahre's videos always make me smile.
Thank you!! 😊🙏
Was literally looking for a video on repeated notes and you just happen to make one :)

Such thoughtful analysis and teaching. Thank you!
Thank you!!
currently struggling with some parts of the La Campanella at higher speeds. this was helpful 👌💝
holyyy i didnt know any of this and ur the only person so explain it easily thanks 😊
Love this tutorial Nahre, and amazing composition too. Tough on black notes - especially 5432! Love your different style and interpretations. Thanks you dear Nahre. 👏🙏

This is cool! I'm doing this when I get back from the pool. 😃
Amazing guide! I'm learning Grande Valse Brilliante and I'm struggling to consistently pull off repeated notes. This helped me out a lot, thanks!

I have been wondering lately how I can expand my improv more percussive ways. This video was great inspiration, thanks! The curved fingers makes some ideas I had possible.
You are remarkable, Nahre.
You’re right the black keys are so damn hard!
Amazing lesson thanks so much.
Thanku so much. U gave me many ideas to play piano
Production and music is strong here. Real strong.
this is amazing. thank you!
