What a refreshing look at teaching. I'm back at teaching again and am looking forward to learning more.

Thanks for this Tim! Quick question: everywhere I see this ‘non legato’ mentioned and praised. (I teach Piano Safari so I am definitely a convert!) but, the word for non legato is … staccato … right? I know we treat staccato as sharp crisp notes but doesn’t it technically only mean ‘separated’ aka non legato? I’ve also heard ‘portato’ thrown around as that intermediary step between connected and ‘popping’ notes - being disconnected but gently so. I’m curious as to your insight between the terms. Thanks!

Fantastic video thank you! I’m a college jazz vocal/piano major and these tips were incredible. I’m learning more about how to play piano than my jaded childhood teacher ever did lmao

Currently experiencing very bad tendonitis in both hands as a result of poor technique. Hopefully these practices can help with that.

Thank you

As being small handed, I cannot curve my fingers and need more frequent position changes than usual, like kids piano. 😂

What I like most about this channel is Tim’s slow speaking plain English, not heavily American, not heavily British, not heavily Australian. 😊
