How to solve the most common mistakes

Do you remember the lesson of starting to play with hands together?

It is an essential lesson in learning to develop a correct piano technique and its importance can be compared to that of the foundations of a house. Without solid foundations it is impossible to build something stable and long-lasting.
The same applies to piano technique. It is not only important to do this exercise but also necessary for it to be done in the correct way.

For this reason, in the lesson today I want to show in-depth the most common mistakes which are made in starting this exercise or when the first pieces are played at the piano.

Most of all I will show you how to avoid this.

In the lesson today I will provide you with all you need  to identify errors and understand if you make them, moreover help you to correct yourself and develop a correct technique.
I have tried to  analyse in a schematic way the nine most common mistakes. I can assure you that this is crucial!!

How can we change fingering?

After this lesson you will be able to play a complete piano piece with all its notes! We will in fact study the piece first hands separate and then  hands together.

However this is not the only thing we will do! You will learn lots of things in this lesson and I would like to list some of these:

• interpret fingering
• change fingering in order to be able to perform the piece in a confident and effective way
• study the piece hands separate and then gradually hands together
• a much more effective way to study the more difficult passages hands together
• etc.

At this point you will be able to play the whole piece.
In order to transform this first performance in real music and make it more musical and pleasant to listen to, we will have to take the next crucial step.

It is what we will learn in the next and last lesson of this cycle.

How to read notes in bass clef

Today’s lesson is really very important! First of all we will learn to read notes in bass clef, something that is always rather tricky and difficult for those who are starting to play the piano.

I will show you a very simple way to identify the corresponding note to middle C and from this find all the other written notes in bass clef. At this point , once that you are able to read all notes in treble clef and bass clef, we will go onto identify the notes of the music piece which we have to play.

We will try to read them with the right rhythm. In this way, every detail written on the sheet music will be perfectly clear and so we will then be able to bring all this knowledge to the piano.

We start playing our piano piece

We are now ready to play our music piece. To do this, we still need to learn one thing: how do we identify middle C on a piano? I will therefore teach you different ways to identify middle C both on the classic piano and on a five octaves keyboards.

In this way, you will be able to start playing a music piece on any type of keyboard or piano. For any other music piece you want to play, there will not be any doubt on how to refer to your fundamental note (nota fondamentale di riferimento): the Middle C.
From now on we are able to start from middle C, identifying all the notes of the music piece on the keyboard. This is exactly what we will do in the last part of the lesson!

As you can see, apart from showing you how to play the music piece which we are studying, these video lessons progressively give you the necessary knowledge to be able to play other pieces
