The A-Z of Great Piano Technique
There have been excellent books written about piano technique by some of the greatest pianists such as Walter Gieseking, Josef and Rosa Lhevinne, or Heinrich Neuhaus. What they taught 100 years ago still holds true today.
The Process of Learning Piano
Before we get on to piano technique, let’s first discuss the two possible ways to learn piano music – through note reading or through chords. To learn how to play music written by other composer’s, you’ll eventually have to learn how to read sheet music although this method takes way longer.
Or if you want to write your own music, you can just learn to analyze chords, even by ear – this is the easier way of learning piano. It is far better to learn how to make music first than it is to read it on a piece of paper.
Remember to always learn piano music slowly and accurately, so that you can gain confidence while performing your favorite piano pieces.
It’s All About The Beat
A lot of people are surprised when I tell them that piano technique has to do with maintaining a good sense of rhythm among other things. Sometimes, it seems as if you’ve been actively playing the piano for a couple of years and are still having large difficulty with maintaining steady rhythm. Even professional players are sometimes at a loss when it comes to understanding rhythm. Sometimes, we end up with a mental blockage that prevents us from counting the rhythm of a piece correctly.
One Online book Stands Out
The best online book you can download for free about honing your piano technique is by Chuan C. Chang entitled “Fundamentals of Piano Practice.” You can download it from his website at Piano Fundamentals.
