Piano technique is how piano players physically execute their performance. A good way to improve your technique is to perform finger exercises.
You will be learning some finger exercises that are really fun to play and also fun to listen to. These exercises will also improve your finger strength and flexibility. Below is a list of the finger exercises that you will be learning. A detailed description of each lesson is listed below.
In this lesson, you will be playing only the black key notes. Playing just the black keys is an easy way to play the 5-note Pentatonic scale. The Pentatonic scale creates a mood that may remind you of songs from East Asia.
In this lesson, you will be learning about a series of notes that will create a mood that is strange and mysterious. The series of note you will see make up the whole tone scale. The whole tone scale is a 6-note scale. It is called the whole tone scale because every note in the scale is separated by an interval of one whole step.
In this lesson, you will be playing arpeggios. Arpeggios are just chords that are played one note at a time instead of together. You will be playing arpeggios with the C major chord.
After you have learned the basic skills in these lessons, access our Virtual Piano Keyboard (if you do not own a piano or piano keyboard) to practice the first two techniques. View additional piano technique and books which will help you to strengthen your finger powers and improve your note reading skills. It is recommended that technical exercises including scales practicing be done prior to playing any songs, in order to help increase your music reading skills.
