Welcome to another Piano Tip!
This time I explain the various passages necessary to fix the movement of the thumb and of notes around it happening especially in scales and in arpeggios.
Piano Tips is a channel where I share my knowledge on piano playing and I give some tips on how to do it better, helping to solve problems and frequent mistakes.
Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do filming it!

This is the clearest example, explanation, and effective exercise that I've seen for thumb passage. Thank you!

Arpeggios practice with a scale with sharps/flats is a lot more difficult than C major. Would you approach practicing it the same way? I have to stretch my thumb so much more in Bb major arp. I notice my arm moves more in Bb than it does in C arp. Is that ok? I guess my question is should I try to avoid placement of my thumb on sharps and flats when possible?

Good job ! Audio could be louder

Why use 2 (in the exercise of 2 notes plus the thumb) where standard fingering requires 3?

Hello. My left hand always tenses up whenever I do thumb crossovers whilst playing scales, usually in ascending order. Do you have any tips on how to avoid it? Thanks! Great lesson, btw

@pianotips325 3 года назад

Hi! It could be because of tension from the arm or from the ligament of the thumb, even though it’s hard to tell without seeing it. Still important to smooth your playing to avoid possible tendonitis.

@julioaltavas2257 3 года назад

@@pianotips325 I can play scales with ease using my right hand because it usually feels more relaxed and natural compared to my left hand. Maybe it's because I'm right-handed. My left hand always feels tensed and unnatural. I'm not sure if I'm not rotating my forearm enough when I do thumb passages, or I might be overdoing the forearm rotation. Anyway, thanks for replying! I'll take your advice, and I'm looking forward to your next lesson!

@@julioaltavas2257 not a fan of giving advice on other people's channels but your LH arm is probably tense because your LH fingers aren't as strong as your RH therefore the arm is trying to take up the slack or work that should be done within the hand and fingers. I'm assuming you're right handed. A weak LH is the bane of our existence. Try crossing your hands when you play pieces so that the LH is playing melody but keeping good alignment of course.

@julioaltavas2257 Год назад

@@dkant4511 Yes, I'm right-handed. The problem sometimes happens even if I'm not pressing the keys. My left hand sometimes would not relax naturally when I rest it on the keys and my thumb begins to twitch and stretch involuntarily. It usually happens when I feel tired, and goes back to normal when I get enough rest. I tried applying forearm rotation to my scale playing and tension seemed to lessen. I'll stick to that technique until I've mastered it. Also, thanks for the tips! Might try to apply your technique as well.

Thank you very much indeed to you for this! I am an adult beginner (self-taught) and was flummoxed by how pianists managed to make their thumb sound just like another finger. I have been moving my arm far too much! I am very grateful. May God bless you
