In this video we discuss the importance of practicing in a medium tempo, due to the fact that it gives a much closer rendering to what things will feel like in a fast tempo (in comparison to slow tempo practice), but still allows you enough time to mentally process the complexities (such as voicing, shaping, etc) that you learned in your slow tempo practice.

“Keep in mind, I’ve been working on this for three four days.” plays it perfectly.
hahaha yup
Here is a concept I've been discussing with a few of my students lately who have struggled to bring their pieces to a full tempo CLEANLY and CONFIDENTLY. The key ingredient they were missing was medium tempo practice, and once they applied the concepts from this video, their pieces have sounded more fluid, accurate, and effective. I hope these concepts help you in your studies!
I was practicing scales when the notification appeared, I'm proud of myself
Rightfully :)
Something really funny happened about a piece that I learned faster than usual was a Gavotte, I thought the tempo was slow so I aimed for that , and after 3 days I just realized the thing was in cut time, I tried at the proper speed and it felt like playing a completely new piece perfectly.
Bro Josh, mic is super, your voice sounds so great, bright and clear,,,
Thank U so much for your time & efforts...
Sam 🎵✌🏻
I’m soo happy
I was just heading to the piano to try to put the medium tempo then I was soo exited that he said Bach invention no 8
I’m waiting for that to come out since it’s been nearly 2-3 weeks I have been trying to learn it
about the audio: i can hear your voice and the piano very well
Josh's webinar is rated A+ & quite recommended to varying levels of interest. Thank you, JW.
The new mic is a lot better in my opinion. Thanks for all the videos you post by the way! As I've never been able to afford a teacher, your technique videos and tips are extremely helpful and I don't know how I would've gotten along without them.
I really love your pieces of advice ❤️ thanks for your time to share your knowledge. Your videos are so very helpful
I think this is helpful for me, I make too many mistakes playing full time. I need to practice full time more. I appreciate you paying attention to the sound volume of your voice and piano. I am hearing impaired, and I need to keep the volume high, Your playing is amazing and you set the bar for me, thank you Josh!
I was going to chime in with the great new haircut but others beat ne to it! you look fabulous and the video is a great reminder and it’s something I’ve been working on too so keep up the good work I’m glad you’re so successful at what you do you deserve all the best
This video is awesome!!!! Thank u!!! the new mic placement sounds great!!! 👍 J.S Bach is in the House!!! 🙌 love it!!!
the new mic is excellent! It sounds like you made this video in a recording studio.
In my practice session, I gradually increase my tempo after polishing the rhythms, phrasing, voicing, and articulation. 😀
Man I really needed this, frustrated as I've been playing 14 years and my tempo has been pretty messy lately; I have been totally skipping medium tempo practice.
Looking sleek Josh!😀 Mic placement makes piano ever so slightly less clear but is totally fine.
Great tips with medium tempo; I also find medium or even 80% tempo REALLY helps in performance to prevent rushing when your nerves and adrenaline kick-in, almost mentally like a well-rehearsed back-up to hold back the tempo, so that while you're mentally playing at 80% and feel more secure, adrenaline makes it pretty much up to tempo.
Good advice! I have noticed that I often need to play a piece at multiple tempos to learn it well. Such a sweet 3 year old! My son is also 3 but so far he only sits down at the piano to try to “improvise.”
I prefer slower tempi.
This is one Bach piece I have worked on.
Your points are useful to me. Excellent advise. Subscribed.
Hi Josh- really excited about Bach Invention no. 8 getting it's own ProPractice video! I've been stuck at this piece for almost a month and I cannot seem to play through it without a couple of hiccups, stuttering and wrong notes. I do slow and medium tempo during practice so i'm not sure if it is a tempo issue.. Hope you finish the full tutorial on the piece!
Practising in in a middle Tempo it's the key to master the piece. Maybe ur fingers will tell u, play faster, practice faster but no... Continue to to play in a middle like for 3,4 days. After your fingers will tell once will be they ready to play it faster.
The audio is so much better
I loved the Star Wars story!
Thanks a lot Josh for the great lessons in the ProPractice Piano Academy!! About the new microphone set up, I've just compared (with headphones) with a video with the previous set up and I would recommend the previous one (microphone on the left, on the piano). With the new one you voice seems too louder vs the piano. With the previous one, it seems to me the right balance voice-piano. Greetings from Spain 😀
Awesome Idea for a video Josh! Thank you, this is very insightful.
Great advice! Will do this a lot more. And the new mic placement is an improvement, IMO.
Watching this video again after a few weeks, I notice a lot of fine details I missed the first time. Medium tempo practice is a great tool. Again, thanks for sharing your expertise.
New mic placement and new hair do. Looking fresh!
Omg your daughter is a genius!! Reciting poems and playing piano at 3!!?
Mike is great. I can hear you very well.
Oh good Josh messes up on inventions too 🤣🙌🏻
That was VERY helpful! Thank you
Im learning right now The Liszt Paganini Etude Nr. 6.
But i learn it without any notes and I am only 15 years old and have no Teacher.
I practice every Day. And I started to play it step by step slowly, and than became faster and faster.
My mother, who also played the piano once, is always amazed.
This setting is great!
Excellent mic placement. With the proximity of the mic to your face, I’d use a pop filter. It’ll filter out those sharp consonants!
By the way, your channel has been a useful resource to me for several years! Thank you!
Thanks, I can hear your voice now.
Thank you for this - it's very helpful.
That's so pretty at that(med/slow) tempo. we get to enjoy the melodic relationship...(I like hearing the ring).
Wow, you are excellent! I wish to get that good some day!
I liked the previous setup better! Mic is a bit distracting and piano is a bit unclear now...
But nothing too bad!
Always find your videos very helpful btw, thanks so much for them!
When & how do you start not looking at the keyboard while playing & feeling a piece? My level is beginner intermediate.
I got an ad for Josh Wright in your own channel
What are performance practices? Are they actually in front of smaller audiences?
Can you give me a number example of medium tempo. If the original speed is 100 what would be the medium tempo?
The mic placement is a LOT better!
Big Josh Wright fan! Hey wondering if you take some kind memory subliment like ginkoba or anything to help brain flow?
great video!
Hey, I started playing "piano" a year ago ( actually played a 61 keyboard with lightweighted keys ) and now I've got myself a digital piano with hammer action keys and I guess because I got so used with playing a light weighted keyboard now I'm struggling playing the piano . Can someone give me some tips or advice that I can use to stop struggling??
Sorry if my english is not great..
Try hand independence exercises, you can find them by typing them on youtube, they help strengthening your fingers. You can also try Hanon or Czerny studies... Hope I helped a little bit
@@heheboi8365 Thanks for your advice! I noticed the last day that by playing the piano more often, my fingers got stronger and I'm starting to get used to the hammer-action keys. Also now that you told me about those exercises, I will improve and get used to the keys much faster! So with all the kindness from my heart, I will thank you again!
You're welcome! What happened with me is that, when I started these exercises I could feel that my fingers have more strength! I also, got motivated to practise more because I could play my fast pieces more comfortably.
I never thought that I would actually help someone on piano practice. Especially Franz Liszt😂😂

it's a great exercise for learning how to control the weight of your hand, maintain finger curvature BUT a relaxed wrist. Hope it helps! :)
please make a video on chordal ostinato
Nice haircut ♥️
Yeah!❤
mic placement way better!
Sometimes I have trouble getting myself to the faster practice tempos. I spend too much time at the slow tempos, and not enough time medium to fast. Particularly when something is difficult. Or rather, I start the metronome too slow, and I waste time at the slower tempos. I don't think it's that I'm not capable of the medium tempos. My question is - how do you determine an appropriate tempo you should be working at if you're trying to speed up a passage without wasting too much time figuring that out? I probably need to be tracking the tempos I've been practicing at on the metronome like in a notebook.
I think the new mike position is better
So, Josh, you're saying you can remember any phone number by hard?
learning a new piece to 80 percent perf. level is fun but above that can be torture.... thats where the pros come it. They can deal with that kind of torture.
Nice camera!
the mic is great, but maybe you could try locating it on top of your head.
Please consider the possibility of Whole Beat Metronome Markings. Are the fast tempi really the composers intention? Or are today's musicians getting it wrong?
Wow josh..your looking spicyyy😆🎹👍
Checking comments? Lol can you do chop op 15 no 2?
7:00 lmao
t e m p y
i like your old haircut look handsomer
His slow tempo on this seems like a medium tempo...subjective, I know
