I have been trying this method and it does work. The trade off is it takes so much time. Time is such a valuable commodity that can’t be bought. Doing this also makes me feel like I have very limited natural ability because others can learn pieces of music so much faster than I can or they can just sight read right out of the gate and play perfectly whereas I have to spend the time doing this method of going through endless repetitions and slowing things down. That’s not fun but the end result of being able to play a beautiful piece of music perfectly is satisfying and fun.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 6 месяцев назад

Stick with it - the cool thing is that the more you do it the faster things go in the later stages of learning the piece AND you get better faster…. So it feels like you were going so slow and taking so much more time in the beginning… But just be patient, I promise it will be worth it and he will make up that time x 10 later. I also speak to the sight reading, perfectly myth a lot :-) nobody can magically sight read perfectly, it’s people that have taken the time to really slow down and study and learn all of the musical patterns… If you want some more info on this, I taught a free class, and I would be happy to pass along the link, just let me know.

This works. I say this from my experience. As an adult beginner, I practice before I go to work and before I go to bed. Well, not 10 times but almost. When I practice, I use full concentration to accurately execute the problem passages. Next morning when I practice, I instantly feel where to go on the keyboard, and that is 100% correct. One more thing I like to add here is the power of our subconscious playing. When I practice before going to sleep, I use even more dedication to play the correct notes. Then when you sleep, your subconscious helps you memorise and reinforce the moves. Well, at least that's me. Thanks Ashlee again for helping us in this rewarding journey of learning to play the piano.

@marie-josedupuis6319 6 месяцев назад

Dear Ashlee, repeating ten times is a WONDERFUL way of eliminating the snags in a piece. I do practise slowly the small sections that snag, but I never repeated them systematically 10 times in a row, and leave alone, startting back to zero when not correctly done. Well I have been doing exactly that in the last few days, and the results are phenomenal…it’s giving me the incentive to work out all the little bits that cause mini problems in a piece….so exciting when suddenly you feel your brain has got it right and no effort is needed anymore tomplay it correctly. Thank you for this video, I am so happy to have come across your chanel!

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 6 месяцев назад

Yes I did Ashlee, in fact I started yesterday and fully intend on practising every day. I started from the beginning as advised; some things are already acquired knowledge and easy for me, but some parts, will have to be worked on more intensively, as an example, I know the name of the intervals, but I don't always recognise them in a split second when bigger than 5ths. I am following your instructions to a «T», to make sure I cover everything and fully benefit from your course. Stay safe!@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio

@aleh_o 4 месяца назад

Hi Ashlee, this piece of advice makes so much sense. I love the car analogy too. I have implemented the slow down technique and even just picking out sections to work on. I've never actually made it a point to play something 10 times and you are right. I always wondered why I can play a piece one time with very little mistakes and other times I would play a piece as if I hardly touched it. I think the repetitions in combination of slowing down and focusing on sections is the way to go. I really appreciate your advice and I know these techniques will work for me. 😊

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 4 месяца назад

Yes yes yes!!! They totally will and then you’ll have to lmk how it feels once you get it 🙌🏻

@robh5695 6 месяцев назад

As a new player I also learned this from another channel "no wrong notes. play in smaller chunks," and I find it really does help. I play a small section 10+ times and find myself learning faster. Thanks!

@conniejacks7485 7 месяцев назад

I e been using your practice techniques for about a year. I'm an advanced student but I've always struggled when learning new music. I can promise everyone that these techniques really work because now, I'm picking things up alot faster and my sight reading has greatly improved. I think the key is to ALWAYS TAKE IT SLOW and in small increments.❤

@shays7011 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic advice. Wish I applied this from the start - especially the SLOW DOWN part. You can really identify where you're making mistakes to see what you need to practice more. It is boring to go slow, but the progress you will make is amazing.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 6 месяцев назад

You hit the nail on the head! 🙌🏻

@thepianoplayer416 7 месяцев назад

The main points include slow practice & isolating problem sections. Practicing slow doesn't mean performing slow. Once we learned the right notes, the music needs to speed up to an ideal tempo. And slow practice allows us to use inefficient fingerings. When we speed up a piece, awkward fingerings would slow us down and cause hesitations. Gets annoying to play the right notes but with hesitations between phrases...

@spareplanet 7 месяцев назад

Great point about the fingering. It’s definitely important to work out what the best fingering will be for the speed at which it will be played (if the fingering isn’t already written into the music). What’s doable at slow speed might be close to impossible at high/higher speeds.

@simondavies6270 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Ashlee I am a guitarist that's hardly made much progress in 30 years of practicing the guitar until I read a research paper into how we learn and came across some information which scientifically validates the approach that you've naturally discovered and that has worked for you. The answer slow down and try not to practice your mistakes. Thanks posting this video.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 7 месяцев назад

You are very welcome! Awesome that you came across a research paper that validates!

@BarryFence 7 месяцев назад

@simondavies6270 7 месяцев назад

@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio The research study is referred to in a book called: Make It Stick. Which is a book written by a journalist and a couple of cognitive scientists who try to evidence how we learn using active recall, repetition, interleaving and so ..... paper's from research done are either mentioned or cited. Broadly speaking practise should be slow and deliberate to avoid practising your mistakes.

@istvankocsis5507 7 месяцев назад

Yes you are right but as we know practice doesn’t make perfect but perfect practice makes perfect. :) What you are talking about knows as myelinization of nerves wich cause ten/hundred times faster nerve conduction velocity in the given nerve paths. Beside the process myelinization please check neuroplasticity in that line also. As I playing pieces exclusively from memory as you mentioned this takes a lot of time to learn but with time this helps also to feel the original inspiration sent to the composer from the source directly... Memorizing pieces develope the brain further and with time this will cause faster and faster learning speed as the brain works like a muscle. Training a given part of the brain constantly or repetitively will cause the development of the practised ability too.

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 7 месяцев назад

Yea I agree! It’s simply that people must actually try to memorize and not rely on muscle memory alone as it’s unreliable for the situation you’re describing. Memorization can be wonderful in many ways!

@timsheffield7464 3 месяца назад

Love this video. I’m the one who asked you a week ago if you teach online. I have 2 questions: I am preparing for a performance of Rach 3. In movement 1 cadenza there is a very fast passage alternating hands. I have employed the slow practice method and am definitely 98+% accurate. However, at tempo it’s about 80%. What is my approach to get 98% with tempo? Secondly, how fast is slow? Im accurate at 50%-60% of tempo and do extensive reps at this tempo. Should I practice at tempo until I reach 98% or gradually build up to tempo? Thank you. Keep up the great instruction you provide!

@AshleeYoungMusicStudio 3 месяца назад

Oh I’m so sorry if I missed that! I don’t remember if I responded! I’d say the level of “slowness” depends on the accuracy, so you can always speed it up a little bit as long as you continue to keep the accuracy. In order to speed something up to 98% of the tempo I would recommend that you go up by two BPM’s as long as you can maintain the accuracy. You can always go back down to that really slow tempo go up to go up to go up to, and then go back down. If you keep repeating this, eventually, it will start to speed up. there are also other methods that I teach inside casual the confident piano player program that would help you in being able to speed things up. You’re welcome!
