How to Gain Control of Your Hands: PART 1

Check out the Faber Follow-Along Calendar to Book 1 on Patreon (link below). If you've ever wondered how, what, and when to practice as a self-learner, this series is for you. We go through the entire Faber book together, step by step. I also give you supplementary exercises and pieces that go hand in hand with book 1.

Another subscriber question answered: Why won't my fingers listen to me? Why are they getting stuck? How can I control my fingers? Let's FINALLY figure this common question out. But I can't truly answer this without SHOWING you. Stay tuned for part 2 (multiple videos) where we dissect Für Elise & really learn how to practice it. Even if you've already learned it or don't have an interest in playing it, you WILL learn something that can be applied to any piece. Coming to YouTube in June.

I really appreciate your content! It's some of the most useful and high-quality piano instruction I've found. However, as a beginner struggling to develop finger independence, I find it discouraging that many resources, including some of yours, seem to bypass the beginner stage. These methods often assume students already possess sight-reading and music theory skills. It would be fantastic if more resources acknowledged that beginners are just starting out and may not be able to read music, keep rhythm, and maintain tempo all at once. Even coordinating foot tapping with piano playing can be another hurdle for beginners.

I can't help but ask, is that an NFT in the background?

In my case it happens because I developed tension on index finger (left hand). I'm working on this but it's hard to solve it.

Pretty sure my fingers only speak Greek or Klingon. 100% sure my brain doesn't. Yet:)
