this is another golden tip from you! focusing much on the prescribed fingering oftentimes is too constraining specially for some beginners. we must enjoy music pieces by playing alternative fingerings that would suit our hands.
Again, thanks so much for the wonderful lesson....it’s interesting you mentioned the problem of writing in too much fingering 🙁 I have found myself playing by number as opposed to looking at the notes! I now white out most of the fingering and just note where I need to change positions.
@@thekingsson1757 I don't recommend it! Much better in the long run to train yourself to recognise the notes instead of just reading numbers. Good luck 😊
Hello Leah, Great tutorial. I am gradually going through your videos and I feel so much confident now. Thank you. By the way, doing great learning Haydn's Little Serenade, what a delight to play. Still struggling with my rhythm and tempo but working hard to overcome my handicap.
Appreciate the lesson. I'm the ultimate novice and have attempted to play sheet music but am struggling because I'm constantly looking at my hands. I'm attempting to keep my eyes up and am doing better. My technique is fingers and thumb on five different keys and sliding my hand across the keys should I need to change position, also using the black keys as landmarks.
@@LeCheileMusic no....I wasn't reffing to flip the staff vertically 🙂...just because there are 5 black horizontal lines in the staff as there are 5 black half tones on the piano keyboard in a octave,...and there are 7 white notes in the octave...it is more visually perceptible and psychologically easy to remember...black notes on black lines and white in-between...of course...two semitones E and F, could be written in the same space with different notation...and if those two have to be played together to resolve that with different symbol notation...🤔 I.e. to use color code
This video really helps me! Finally someone who explains in detail how to find the optimal fingering. Thank you for your really good videos❤

That's great, Kathleen, best of luck with it :-)
I am a beginner can you really play by number instead of reading notes

Very helpful..two additional posts might be about the difference btwn vertical playing and horizontal playing. Does fingering play a role in that?
The Irish comes through along with great lessons.
Thanks for letting me subscribe!

Happy Teacher/Mother’s Day :)
Thank you! 😃
I own a lot of pencils with erasers!
It’s difficult to see the music on the page.
Thanks for the feedback, Lois 👍
wouldn't be more logical...on a staff...to write black notes on the lines and white in-between...,🤔
I believe the Klavierscribo method takes this approach. The traditional staff represents the piano keyboard sideways so that’s why it doesn’t.
