Simple Trick to Improve Finger Independence!! 

Same.

Pinky for me

Omg same

Especially left one 😱

It’s so easy everybody😂😂😂

You're right 😊

the pinky is the hardest to press

​@@jacciejaccie383slightly rotate your wrist when pressing a key with the pinky :)👌

It’s because of the infrastructure of the hand. There is a ligament that connects both the middle and ring thus making it harder to move.

😂damn I gues I m not alone

It’s not independent. It’s literally connected tot the 3rd finger by tendons. This exercise is pointless

I think what the uploader forgot to mention is that for this to work properly, you should be holding the notes down with the weight of your arm, not by pushing with the fingers. You can only lift the 4th finger independently by having a relaxed 3rd and 5th finger. In general, whenever you hit the bottom of the keys, you must be able to relax your fingers at the bottom and keep the keys held with gravity and arm weight rather than finger squeezing. Hope that helps!

😂 mine too! Too cocky to follow the orders.

Hahahahaha

So true I just tried it is so hard

As a pianist I don’t understand this comment

​@@Vazivthink it means that the ring finger will sometimes make the middle finger and pinky finger to move along

​@@MarbleWinner578 he commented this everywhere under who said this, probably just being a little arrogant

@@PixlyPenguin ah ok

Is the stiffness smth that betters with time ? Feels like my ring fingers have no power and keep pulling my middle finger down :|

It hard

I think at almost any level of proficiency this can still be quite testing, if you escalate to playing randomly chosen note sequences, sometimes repeating a particular note, with *any* upwards movement by any of the other fingers, or uneven tone, tempo or volume, considered a fail. Using the left hand! To get to that level, assuming you have nailed it in the right hand, then try with both hands simultaneously, mirroring about either D or Ab - for most people this is actually a very useful stepping stone to doing difficult passages with the left hand.

@@Gottenhimfella And that is the problem with Yanni compositions you have to be precise and consistent. If you have one slip up that is game over if you are just one half a note off or one finger placement off. As you know Yanni likes to use a lot of complex left handed inverted chords and Ont he right hand he likes to play a lot of double note octaves. These are advanced theories. I got to get good on the digital side. Tell me I got a Clavinova Yamaha 745. I got to download the Yamaha app to fully unlock its true potential. I am saving up for a Japanese U1 Yamaha btw. I am a Yamaha addict if there was a Yamaha anonymous 😂 Good points and I can tell you were classically trained like me. I am guessing perhaps Europe? I was in Vienna. I have family in 🇩🇪 🇷🇺 and 🇮🇹 so all the musical ,” and peaceful,@ counties lol and Side note my grandfather was Marshall Zhukov and I was a Colonel in the USMc. Trust me in that stressful job, music saved my life. It’s lone what Nietzsche said,@ without music, life would be a mistake.”

That is crazy, says a beginner😂

Lisztzy also used to do five finger attacks and then move the whole hand at incredible speed at the keyboard and make it sound like an even progression as opposed to three finger thumb under runs. Can't compare a lot of people to him especially beginning students who this video is good for.

​@@geu6270 I think the exercise in this video (with some additional criteria) is very suitable for intermediate and even advanced students. I tried escalating it to playing randomly chosen note sequences, sometimes repeating a particular note. I chose to regard as a fail *any* upwards movement by any of the other fingers, or uneven tone, tempo or volume. Using the left hand. For me, that was almost as difficult as the very intersting Liszt exercise from Taisin (with which I was not familiar). I can do it with my right hand, but at present it eludes my left (mirroring the keys, in other words holding down F and Bb with 4 and 2, and playing an Emin triad intermittently with 5, 3 and 1. By tomorrow, that will be remedied!

Congratulations!

how old are u

Looks like a Hannon exercise

@@dookoonu2741 I havn't seen them in Hannon. I think Hannon is made to get speed. These exercices are more to get fingers independence.

@@vergauwenmartial You're right, similar but not the same

@@dookoonu2741That’s Dohnanyi :)

That’s wild!

Oh. Helpful. Thanks to make me focus on Black keys

Do you have weighted keys?

@@HelloThere6043 in the keyboard? I think it does. I rarely play it now. I got it to help my dad out with church services that he was doing at a local nursing home. They closed it down due to covid, and he was unable to do them when they opened back up due to his health. My husband was diagnosed with cancer, and couldn't handle hearing the piano. So I practiced on the keyboard in another room with the volume turned way down. They both passed away last year. So, unless I'm going away, I don't really play it now.

I thought it would have been the other way around.

@@stephenburnett458 my piano is old. It's a beautiful piano and has a very nice sound to it. The keys are very easy to press But, it can't be worked on without having a domino effect. It's in tune with itself but is a half tone off.

Saw this and immesdiately tired it on my keyboard it really is hard

I think we all have it, mostly due to the structure of the hand and the tendons and muscles to that finger. I also find my mind-to-finger messages aren't that good either!

That’s just how the ring finger is, this exercise might damage your hand if you force your finger to lift. The best way to gain finger independence is by playing fugues in my opinion.

Glad you think so!

​@@jazerleepianoHelp me this is so hard😢

LOL thats a good way to practice and and good way to pass time lol

but its effective

Beginners and early intermediates should use other drills first. This is a very advanced technique and practice.

So harddddd😂😂😂😂

Me too

Was looking for this one 😂

Left pinky for me and im left handed
