A must-see for beginners! Tips for letting your fingers pass through the piano

This may be a bit sudden, but try playing the scale with your right hand.

Can you play continuously from the middle C to the C one octave above?

If the finger number is "12312345", it is correct.

Here, when playing "3→1", you need to put your thumb under your middle finger, but were you able to play it smoothly?

It takes some skill and practice to flex your fingers .

I will introduce two tips, so if you are not good at it, please refer to them.

slide your wrist

Is your wrist sinking or rising when you pass your thumb through it?

If your wrist moves, unnecessary force will be applied and you won't be able to play beautiful scales.

you quickly slide your wrist to the right using your middle finger placed on your wrist , your thumb will naturally move to the right.

At this time, try playing comfortably without putting pressure on your wrist.

I'm sure you'll be able to slip your fingers through it more easily than before.

Don't let your fingers rest

If you play with your fingers lying down, your wrists will also be lower than the keyboard.

This is a very bad position not only for scales but also for playing the piano.

If you let your fingers lie down, it will be difficult for your thumb to pass under your middle finger, which will slow down your tempo.

It also puts unnecessary force on your fingertips, making it difficult to play fast passages.

You've probably been taught to hold down the keys like a cat's hand or like you're holding an egg, but if you do exactly that, your wrists will never be lower than the keys.

Let's practice scales while being conscious of not letting our fingers fall asleep.
