This just called me unskilled in a million different ways

glissando tip: just play each note individually with each finger 😳

amazing as always, Nahre!

[jbru]

I’ve improved so much during this pandemic because I have so much free time. It’s nice

[aamidjaythreepointoh]

It’s not just what you’re expressing in these instructionals, but you’re giving people insight into what a professionally and fully expressive musical mind is like. Thanks as always.

Your videos are always super useful and well organized. Thanks for being so consistent in your content!

[Hayden_M_Kearney]

Would love to hear your thoughts on Hanon and Czerny exercises.

[sarahcorvidae]

this was so good. I'll come back repeatedly. thank you!

[BlueGrovyle]

I really appreciate the double thirds tutorial. That's something I've always struggled with, as I'm mostly self-taught and lack that person I can go to for questions like that.

[m.a.]

yessss another video! I know my request will get lost in the sea of comments, but I know you love Liszt as a composer and have fantastic technique. I would love to see you do a technical analysis of the Liszt Transcendental etudes someday! 🥺❤

This timing is impeccable as I just in the last few days hit a wall with my playing after experiencing pain in my forearm from playing too fast. I'm now starting to go back and practice very slowly with a focus on efficiency and relaxation. Have been playing for 10+ years but not until recently have focused on this stuff.
Practicing slowly is the key IMO.

Those scales are brighter than my future. Just started practicing them, I need at least 40 hours a day to get half your speed. Or just use flowkey

Thank you so much! Lucky that in the world exist people like you, that share their knowledge and help us to improve!

Thanks so much for NOT "boring" us with too much detailed information on how to play these. Instead, you're just "showing" us and giving our brains even more benefit by making us watch closely and figure out the details for ourselves. I play stringed instruments, but aspire to piano. Love

[alltheothernamesaretakenlo]

Thanks for inspiring me Nahre 👍🏾 when ever I don’t have motivation to play piano, I watch one of your videos because they’re so helpful. You’re so amazing!

[joshdistefano]

Wow, great tips. I really appreciated the info on running chromatics in 3rds. You make it seem so easy!

[thegreenpianist]

3:42 I find sliding the second finger from D# to E more comfortable and effortless compared to jumping with the thumb in ascending scales, descending is a different story though.
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful tips!

[leoharfouche]

For the chromatic scale, I was taught to use 1 and 3 and for the B-C and E-F intervals to use 1 and 2. For me it is simpler, idk.

[kmbxgfz]

hey nahre, i gotta say, you've been so helpful for me as a composer. I'm a beginner with my instruments so i haven't personally played a lot. but you did all the work for me with your composer videos, so now i could get whats in my head on to paper, and i can get better ideas in the first place in my head. so thank you so much :)

[yusufbingul]

All of them were very helpful but the isolated voicing tip was just amazing. Thank you very much
