Nahre, you are creating something no other piano teacher is able to articulate here on your RUclips channel. A learning technique that really bridges the gap between performer and composer
This way of practicing piano will not only benefit piano playing skill but will also benefit composition skill! I can borrow many composition materials from many masterpieces in this way. Thank you again for providing me a brand new perspective to practice piano!!
Hello! I'm a jazz musician, kinda, and I'd like to say: First, your voicing on the CM7 is totally legit and no one is laughing at you :) Second, Chopin has always been way beyond me, but I'm very excited to try this technique on bebop heads like Ornithology and Donna Lee that have also always been mostly beyond me. Thank you! 💧 BTW, the grace note technique is really similar to a blues piano technique I use all the time. So, maybe Chopin isn't out of reach? ...Pretty sure it's still out of reach :D
Lol that part. Literally throws a 17-tuplet at you out of nowhere in the second line of the first Nocturne just to let you know what you’re getting into. I find that identifying “target” notes where right and left align helps a lot, and sometimes this organization supersedes any other natural groupings. Once you have those aligned, then you can stretch them to make the overall line more smooth and musical.
Excellent! As I’m sure others have said: we can certainly find applications of these ideas regardless of what piece of music, instrument, or genre we are studying. Thanks for this fabulous and insightful video.
Nahre, you are wonderful. I just recently got back into practicing piano and my studies brought me to Chopin's preludes. Your content is so easy to digest and entertaining, not to mention inspiring. Thank you thank you thank you!
Rubinstein played the fioritura passages faster at the beginning and slower towards the end. Some of the left hand notes still coincide with some of the right hand notes, and if you isolate the left hand, it doesn’t sound like he’s rushing the beat or breaking tempo. He had, of course, great independence of his right and left hands but I still have no idea how he nailed these passages.
💧 The actual music in this video is still way above my level, but the basic principles can be used at any level, so I’m adding this to my favorites. Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi Nahre, I would like to ask you some questions. Do you have a perfect pitch? Can you make a Video about ears training and suggest a trick how to improve the ability of ears training.
I like how you chop down the parts to Chopin, but one thing I learn is never to use the Slicer effect on a Chopin parts. That's just too much chopping going on!
I simply struggle with polyrhythms. I subconsciously want to time everything , but you really have to somehow let go and just feel the pulse....or something.
Can't fathom why you would transpose a passage like the one she uses into different keys, therefore having to refinger the whole thing. Just undertake to memorize the passage at a very slow pace, dividing it initially by bits with the right fingering, giving it time. The fingers will eventually learn how to manage the difficulties - I know because I did this with the very same passage.
I think I’m starting to realise that “getting better” isn’t about learning more difficult pieces, it’s about building and improving specific skills that will make those difficult pieces easier to learn. Thank you for another great video! 💧
100%. I watch Annique on Heart of the Keys and she learns things in 10 minutes what I couldnt learn in a week. I think getting better is definitely about building tools that make things easier to learn. The practical side of playing the piano isn't the most important thing.
Very interesting video ! My professor always told me to transpose difficult passages in all 12 keys, as this is such a difficult exercise that you'll find the passage in the original key to be trivial. Thank you for showing this to the world :)
...and you didn't get tendinitis from this? That's ridiculous, bro. You're learning ONE PIECE in ONE KEY for performance. You're not trying to transpose for a singer or play a jazz solo on this. Why would your professor tell you something so stupid?
@@J3unG I always consider what accomplished experts have to say. Nahre and probably René's professors are far more accomplished than me. If they say isolating a difficult passage/phrase and transposing to all keys helps them, I will consider trying it.
I literally brute-force learning pieces playing mostly start to finish, and I KNOW it’s awful. This was the sign (and structured process with amazing examples) I needed. Thank you 🙏
The timing of this video is absolutely insane... I just picked up a Chopin piece and got to "that part." Thanks for an amazing and informative video as always! =)
Well it's going to take me a long time to catch up to where you're at... I'm a beginner compared to your skill level, I love Chopin's music and want to learn a few pieces, but I feel like I'm 💧 drowning in the complexity, thanks for posting... it gives me an idea where to start. (See what I did there with the 💧 you requested?)
@AuPastello Appreciate the sympathy, thanks! But I expect and welcome the struggle, just have to take a lot of coffee breaks and have patience. One day I hope to master a piece or two, but in my case the audience is just family and friends, I'm not planning on being a stage performer, I just want to have fun and perform some good music. Cheers!
@@NahreSol Thanks so much for posting, It gives me encouragement...I still haven't got very far in Rick Beato's music theory classes... (He's the reason I'm here on your channel) but I have a full time job that demands my attention... but that's just slowing me down, I still want to learn how to play. I've had piano lessons decades ago, I'm having to relearn how to read sheet music, I suck at timing and... Grrrr... the whole thing sometimes is just a hot mess! LOL But I'll keep chipping away at it, bit by bit.
@Nahre Sol, You’re so damn impressive. I deeply, deeply appreciate the way you break down your process. Following you the past few years has been a massive inspiration. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
💧Its so important to have strategies for practicing that move beyond simply "playing it again." I'm showing videos like this to my son, who is starting violin at 9, just to show him that it's OK to be frustrated or need to change the way you practice. Thanks!
I think these exercises would be repetitive enough to be able to do them while focusing on keeping my hands relaxed as well. I have a massive tension problem at the piano. I'm also interested in what you said about getting into Chopin's brain. One of the things I noticed is that I have so much more trouble doing flashy things in other people's music, but when I write or arrange something myself, suddenly I can do things that I'd never dream of doing if I were reading other people's dots. (I still have tension problems, but I can DO them at least, and it takes longer for my hands to start aching.) I think understanding what you're doing -- why the composer chose those notes -- allows your head to "chunk" what's going on and increases your comfort with the material.
After sixteen years away from the piano, I started practicing again six months ago. In addition to relearning selected pieces I used to play, I decided to learn six Mozart sonatas simultaneously for "exercise". In doing so, without any premeditation, but just "automatically," I recognized many similar patterns in different sonatas, making them easier to learn faster all together than to learn them one by one. After playing only Mozart for a few days, I return to the Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, snd Mendelssohn pieces I was practicing, and I find myself playing them much better than before after the Mozart "exercise".
This is what I did every single time. Not only in Chopin's music. But almost all composers. Analyzing the scores will help you a lot. I'm not read all the notes on the scores. I never do that. Instead, I read the pattern and analyzing. They are very simple. None of them are complicated. Even Winter Wind. It looks like a monster. But it just a simple pattern repeated, transposed. And then, I make my own exercises for a several passages. Remember what Chopin said "Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties." And yes, all the Chopin's music has a very simple pattern. The issue is not about the notes, but the technique.
This is fantastic .. 100% on analysis as a key to really understanding how the piece is structured. I have students who resist this as they "just want to play", but when they have that lightbulb moment where they realise how much it helps them "just play" its so rewarding to see their progress accelerate as a result. Great video Nahre. 💧
Honestly -- I love your way of treating music and displaying such love for details, and breaking out of conventions. Fun to watch, fun to follow, fun to listen... 😊😉😎
I can't tell you how much I love this video. Not only was it encouraging to see that even you (who are so incredibly advanced) have trouble learning pieces (at least in the beginning), but it was insightful learning your methods of practicing and memorizing. Thanks a lot!!! 💧
These videos are so resourceful to me. Even though I'm a classical guitarist, I can still easily apply these towards Chopin's works on the guitar/lute. Thank you so much, Nahre !
I love this systematic approach to learning difficult material. Going from basic and mindless repetition and instead applying the structure or concept to a musical sequence makes practicing so much more enjoyable. Thank you! 💧
Rather off topic but I think the distinction between Jazz and Classical music is in many way arbitrary. What she is doing in this video is exactly what a Jazz pianist would do with Bud Powell or Art Tatum solos. The harmonic analysis. Making little exercises and playing it in 12 keys. (Not chromatically but around the Circle of 4ths). The main difference is the why. The classical musician does it so they can play it inside the piece and in subsequent pieces comfortably and the Jazz musician does so whenever they play over that type of chord they have this "lick" as an option in their vocabulary.
I haven't played classical piano in years, and was just given Brubeck's Blue Rondo á la Turk! I'll try this exercise and see if I can get my mind and fingers around it. Thanks! 💧
00:01 "so you're learning chopin.." oops already lost me 🤷♀️ 01:40 WAIT 🤘 that's just like learning complex guitar solos with tablature, yup that's patterific. Finger patterns, yes. This technique should taught in all the beginner and intermediate piano books. 💧Too bad the everyday academic piano instructors bag on learning by finger patterns. 💦 and flip out when asked questions about how to analyze the music before or during weeks & weeks of practice playing. Luckily there are rare videos like this one which teach the real way to practice.
This is so like cadenza singers have in operas all the time. The strategy is the same for practicing even thought the voice reacts a little different within the registers if you put it in the cycle of fifths but still super useful, i’d say quite necessary. Great explanation!
Thank you for sharing such a golden approach! And also illustrating it so beautifully with your performance :) As a mostly jazz musician it speaks a lot to me, and motivates to dive deeper into classical music. Quite daunting and exciting! 💧
💧 I listened twice, and try to remember, when i am tired I can still make this type of practice-music. (I am 75 years and have been seriously ill, music is what keeps me alive.)
Thanks NahreSol for this breath of fresh A.I.R. I hadn't heard of that before. This A.I.R. technique will help clear cobwebs in my mind gathered along the path of knowledge. Great diagrams and graphics. Totally related to the wandering, wondering, less mind path amble in the "here to there" artful diagram. (sometimes I need to be lost to find my musical self again) A.I.R. makes a good compass. Plus that artful audio technique about halfway through caused a cool "awah" double take head shake which reminded of Chopin. Imagine this video being a Chopin piece. Your musical words of knowledge flying fast then that quick moment of s~l~o~w~i~n~g down certainly gets the ears attention. Thanks again, for all the time and effort you put into creating insightful videos, happy day 🎹😎🎹 Ps.Editing and camera quality is on point 🎶🎙📽💡🎶9
"That part" is a real part in every Chopin piece.
I agree!!
So true! Very insightful video to help overcome "that part" too! Thanks Nahre Sol
@@map-reduce yes her insights are always welcome!
💧 I'll try it
I feel like Chopin included "these parts" as a challenge pianists have to overcome in order to be allowed to play his beautiful melodies.
Nahre, you are creating something no other piano teacher is able to articulate here on your RUclips channel. A learning technique that really bridges the gap between performer and composer
Hi ! Have you seen Hearth of the keys? Also an amazing content
Amen! Not only is she phenomenal at both, she's phenomenal at teaching. I would pay for these videos.
💧 as a fellow RUclipsr I almost feel guilty watching your videos for free
Hi musicalbasics
Yeah. They are like master classes that should be on Skillshare or something.
This way of practicing piano will not only benefit piano playing skill but will also benefit composition skill!
I can borrow many composition materials from many masterpieces in this way.
Thank you again for providing me a brand new perspective to practice piano!!
Yes, also your improvisational skills and you ear developes
She is a genius. So helpful.
Much appreciated... thank you for the comment!
Hello! I'm a jazz musician, kinda, and I'd like to say: First, your voicing on the CM7 is totally legit and no one is laughing at you :) Second, Chopin has always been way beyond me, but I'm very excited to try this technique on bebop heads like Ornithology and Donna Lee that have also always been mostly beyond me. Thank you!
💧
BTW, the grace note technique is really similar to a blues piano technique I use all the time. So, maybe Chopin isn't out of reach?
...Pretty sure it's still out of reach :D
I’m also a jazz musician and applied Nahre’s ideas to Donna Lee and other Bebop heads.
💧
Great way of working out a practice. I will apply that to my (guitar) playing :) 💧
Lol that part. Literally throws a 17-tuplet at you out of nowhere in the second line of the first Nocturne just to let you know what you’re getting into.

Hi Nahre, I would like to ask you some questions. Do you have a perfect pitch?
Can you make a Video about ears training and suggest a trick how to improve
the ability of ears training.
Making etudes to learn etudes is something I thought I’d never see
Wow great video . Though I’m guitar player practicing right is the same for every musician.
Lovely video and great lesson - but I’d need to quit my full time job to have the time to learn these scores!!
looks like I’m having another great lunch break 😌
Thank you!!
Great video!💧
너무 좋은 컨텐츠네요
I was just crying for help because of "THAT PART"
I like how you chop down the parts to Chopin, but one thing I learn is never to use the Slicer effect on a Chopin parts. That's just too much chopping going on!
I really want to buy an album of you performing Chopin!
Lovely, fun and illuminating video as always (💧◡💧)
