    Unbelievably simple exercise for a unbelievably tough skill.
    That's why they say.....A good teacher teach but great one, inspires....
    You are the one who inspires.
    Thanks for posting.

    This is not an easy thing to do but those who master it really stand out. This is the first video I have seen that explains it like this and is actually a real hands on starting point.

    This was so helpful. I just started piano not knowing how to do anything. I was getting frustrated because I tried to teach myself,then I came across this, and I feel much more confident in piano now! Thank u so much!!

    Just with this video, and an hour of practice, the two hands are finally starting to think on their own. I've got about 1 week of experience and I'm kinda all over the place. Can't really figure out what piece or video I should focus on as there's so many.

    At last something practical on developing independence with both hands at the piano. I have heard the jazz music on your website and I loved them. My ears instantly picked up the left hand-right hand playing! I'm going to study and learn this style. Thank you.

      Ok, now try holding your fork with you left hand while you eat. Chew on the right side of your mouth and tap your spoon with your other hand in a steady beat on your plate. It will be a great conversation starter when eating out.

  • @williamkidwell1504
    @williamkidwell1504 7 лет назад +3

    This basic idea can be doubled simply by changing the hands... meaning - once you learn how to "automate" the left hand to free the right one - simply flip the practice routine around, so you play the "automated" part in the right hand and solo with the left...
    It takes some work though because the way we number our fingers (1=thumb to 5=pinky) fans from the inside out, whereas the way the keyboard is numbered simply rises in a sequential straight line...
    its hard to describe, which is why it takes work, but you can sense it when you play.

    • @williamkidwell1504
      @williamkidwell1504 7 лет назад +1

      perhaps the difficulty in flipping the hands is better stated by contemplating what finger *leads* the automated rhythm in one hand vs the other...
      if the pinky (5) leads with the low note in the bass followed by the octave on the thumb (1), then to automate this in the right hand you'll have to lead with the thumb (1) followed by a rise to the pinky (5) to play the octave...
      Because the finger numberings are so contrary, it may be better to just identify the lead note and hit it with the opposing finger from hand to hand...
      anyway... $.02

    It's funny because tapping without the piano notes only confused my brain but doing this whilst playing the notes at the same time was easy lol.
    I've been playing for about ten years but I really want to be much better at piano xD And after actually watching this video I realized that my left and right hands are more independent than I thought lol. I can play more than 4 notes whilst my left hand keeps playing two xD I went one further and kept playing C and G over and over whilst going up and down the scale from C to C. I think I'll do that every day now lol.

  • @Starritt_Piano
    @Starritt_Piano 10 лет назад +2

    I don't see a reason why the it couldn't work the other way around, the left hand plays the interesting passages as the right hand accompanies. Jazz piano is seemingly give and take, however the right hand is playing too much take and it needs to in fact give more so the left hand can share the improvising. I sometimes think of the right and left hands as two people or characters, and I would maybe begin experimenting with dialoguing, i.e., fours between both hands so a greater amount of flow and interest occurs throughout the solo :)

    Hello Glen
    Excellent tuition! I'm a beginner and find this very useful. I can't yet ride a bike and chew gum, if you know what I mean, and wonder if I ever will. Can anyone do it with practice and perseverance or do you have to have a particular type of brain?

    • @bubblebath2892

  • @calumjones
    @calumjones 4 месяца назад

    For me it is fine but the issue is maintaining certain rhythms on the left hand. At least, I have always had to work each bar separately when the rhythms are weird. Which is annoying but it is what it is.
