Thankyou.. I think it is brilliant that you've taken the time to approach this topic without even playing a note and make sure that the point is made and understood before moving on to what everyone seems to want which is the instant ability to play. A thorough and no doubt important step.. again thankyou
Totally agree with the point about 'relaxation'. Although - the term 'open joints' can also be a source of confusion as well. Maybe it's easier to just treat it as - don't get too tense, and don't get too loose or floppy in the muscles associated with arm, hand, and finger flexibility. Keeping 'everything moving' slightly can be difficult to picture as well - because there are times (instances) when the wrist etc is not moving. But - your points are very good! I know what you mean. It means to have a balance - not substantially or extremely tense/stiff, and not substantially (or extremely) sloppy. It's a 'meet in the middle' kind of thing.
At the same time in order to keep fingers & wrist relaxed, it is to shake your hands until they flop around. I was told this would help to relax hand muscles.
Very deep concepts thus far. I struggle with great tension and trying to learn how to get rid of it. Relaxation is all aver my music papers, but WHAT do I relax, and HOW do I relax. I'll keep watching for insight.
You make great points in these three videos. However, you could could cut the time in half by actually giving examples/ practical demo's of what you're talking about and repeating things three times. I feel like I'm watching excerpts from a theory textbook :-)
in the fingers, what we see as fingers, are no muscles, the muscles which move the fingers are in the hand, the palm and the forearm. Please refer to an anatomy atlas. But i know pianist are super natural human beings...🦾😃
This video is too long, too repetitive and unfortunately, it's way too S-L-O-W for us viewers to appreciate the message. I almost fell asleep while listening to him....It was so boring to listen to. Just 'sum it up' quickly, w/more action and FEWER words. Relaxation should begin in your shoulders - not in your fingers. You need to relax to avoid unnecessary tension when playing piano. The End!

Спасибо вам большое. Все говорят расслабить всю руку, но наконец-то я узнала как правильно выполнить.

Wow...this one was brilliant too. Thanks for this. It makes perfect sense.

Absolutely brilliant!!!

Thanks! I play with six joints that want to move all the time.... Brilliant! You talked me out of my thinking pattern.... Thank you!
I like to imagine that this is Marc Andre Hamelin giving advice… his voice sounds nearly identical :) Anyway great advice, can't wait to try it out.
I'm glad I clicked the 100th like
