‌I get questions about how to properly play trills on pretty much a daily basis.
‌Getting trills to sound light, fast, and musical is one of the biggest challenges of piano playing.
There are 4 steps that you can take to make ANY trill sound good, but most people accidentally leave out some of the key steps along the way because you don’t know what you don’t know!
‌In today’s tutorial, I I take you through these 4 steps that you can take to make any trill sound better.
‌I show you exactly how to implement these steps using a Mozart sonata as an example…but the steps will work for ANY piece.
If you learn these 4 steps and apply them to your trills, you’ll sound like a completely different (and better) pianist within a few practice sessions.

I have been playing piano for years and have always struggled and been frustrated by trills
This Mozart piece was one I played in my 4th grade exam- no idea how I passed- still ca t do that trill! Hoping these tips will help, thank you!

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

You’re very welcome! Happy it’s helpful!

[@TomMarvan]

Great lesson! I guess some people are born to trill, while we just have to practise.

[@bayareaconsult4115]

Thank you for a great lesson 🙏

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

You’re very welcome!

[@chriscatapano1788]

Great lesson Ashlee. Thanks for the tips. I can't wait to practice them

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

You’re welcome and great! Lmk how they go!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Nice lesson. I'm not playing trills, but like many of your tips, it's stored away for when I'm ready. I had to go on the Book of the Face for something else, and I am completely lost. Which is too bad since that sightreading lesson sounds great.
I was getting frustrated with getting into my level two method books, and especially with Alberti Bass. I used La Méthode Rose and Thompson, and LMR relies heavily on Alberti Bass. I even had to quit using it since it was aggravating an inner ear problem.
But I went back to page 1, and started playing every exercise again, and it's getting better. My piano teacher noticed a big improvement on my sightreading ability by really getting back to basics.

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

Glad to hear there’s improvement! That’s what matters!!

Ashlee you are so beautiful .i have a request.if possible plz can you teach how to apply chords progression with milody

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

[@John-D.]

Trills! Change "Velocity"

[@dr.align2thrive119]

Man trilling with 3 and 4 is hard. I can do 4 and 2 or 3 and 2 but using 3 and 4 is so hard.

[@AshleeYoungMusicStudio]

That also works!

[@zargflonk]

Yep, wait until you try 4 & 5. Need to train the fingers. Suggestion: Insert a trill when practicing scales.
