Exercises That Improve Your Coordination Without Stressing You Out

Here are 3 exercises for all levels to help work on your coordination at the piano. They specifically target hand-switching and sound pretty calm, so it might help prevent stressing you out while practicing (although they will feel disorienting).

*on the day of uploading -- I'm currently editing my way through a long-awaited video about how I did research on Liszt in Weimar, as well as a few other things that will eventually be uploaded. Thank you for your patience between uploads, and make sure you have the notifications on. Many people have been asking me where I've been, only to discover that Youtube hasn't been notifying them for the past few months.

I’m still waiting for the “How to sound like Nahre Sol” video 👀. Awsome video as always!

I always hated what many teachers would get you to do regarding musical exercises, or just random advice from others being equolly non-musical. They just weren't very fun playing or listening to.

But your exercises have never failed to be both, from what I can remember. I hope in time, history refers back to your exercises, and that you'll be as ubiquitous as Hanon.

That first exercise sounds freaking beautiful!

Please do a video on warmups that sound pleasant but are for beginners to intermediate players. Thank you!

I'm a Beginner. This video is now responsible for my hype on my training sessions! I'm simply LOVING these exercises! <3

As a jazz musician, these exercises are a nice way to build comping and melody independence in both hands. Really enjoyed this tutorial (as well as the boss a style video a little bit ago!). Thanks for producing this positive content during this time. Best wishes to you from philly!

There is literally, no tension in your hands, it's like they are completely independent finger brains. Please do more videos on tips like this with different levels of difficulty. I will literally pay for it.

Why are you underated 😭😭😭
































You're so talented!!♥️

If I could request one video I can't find on youtube is(a longer video) 20min+ called: The Ultimate Practice Routine - Where you go through several daily exercises that would eventually elevate familiarity and overall skill with all things piano playing for intermediate players.

Being pulled in all directions it would be nice to have something like that where you feel confident you would be on the right path if you just did several of the ex. every single day for weeks/months and years. That would be my request! :)

Hey Nahre, amateur pianist here. Your way of explaining something in a simple and concise way makes these wonderful exercise videos extra helpful. Videos like these are among my favorites. I can't tell you how often I come back to many of these and revisit some of your exercises, even if the videos are years old.

[peterkohout]

As a beginner I cannot begin to thank you enough for your generosity and talent.

[DrewAlexandros]

Nahre you have by FAR the prettiest and coolest piano exercises on YouTube. I'm trying to get through one of your others, but it's super hard. Im thankful that this video has some stuff for intermediate players!

[sid]

Please do more of these beginner\ intermediate videos. You’re such a gem

[pepepepe]

Wow, such beautiful exercises!!!!
You never fail to inspire me 🌻

[heyanhho]

Please do more of these exercise videos! I've been playing for a few months and looking for nice sounding exercises.

[yuvalne]

I'm not a pianist, yet I always find these videos fascinating

[karthikn]

I watched your Scarlatti video and remember thinking the hand switching was so cool. Thank you for sharing this !

[denise]

Nahre, your creativity knows no bounds! I love your videos, thanks!!! 💧

[BluesyBor]

I'm gonna use that 3rd version as my morning alarm...

[anubhavbimbisariye]

Landed on your 2-5-1 exercises video. I shouldn't need to say anything beyond that it made me open your channel. It wasn't just one of those videos I just watch and move on. And then I found GOLD :D
