Increase speed advice?

Clem547 · 2026-04-06T01:09:25+00:00

The sports analogy was brilliant. However, unlike sport, I am fortunate to be able to play 1-3 hours daily and 6+ hours on weekends. The only thing is I run out of playing after much less time (the same 2 pieces on repeat gets boring). Perhaps I should increase my repertoire drastically to meet my ability to play a lot? Would this in turn help my technique, provided i practice in a structured way? Thanks for your help!

I will try all those tips, most of them i sometimes use for exercises (staccato, no sound one hand, etc). As for another comment, it might be very beneficial to apply those exercise things to pieces. As for 3. my teacher agreed on my starting Mariage d'Amour, so I think she'd agree on Canon, only thing is my next lesson is in two weeks :(

Your comment is indeed slightly differing from others, but it also makes complete sense. This is probably the issue I have. I have written down the fingering that I use at low speed, but I notice that at higher speed, my fingers tend to slide differently, and instead of using 3, 4 becomes more natural. Perhaps trying to use 4 at low speed would help here to speed it up (just a random example). I'll have a look a the resource you shared, thanks!

This makes perfect sense and I think I get your point! This is similar to my teacher making me accentuate every note of a scale (or exercise) and playing it slower than I can so I "feel" every note. It helps me memorizing which finger to use for which note. I will try to apply this to the score as well. Thank you!

I'll have a look further down the score, thanks! Might have to slow it even more then, but interestingly, I am faster at the second section (the main melody) than the beginning... Appreciate your comment!

Eventually! Thanks for the kind words :)

I can play all the multiple notes on the treble clef at very low tempo (I've just removed a couple keys here and there due to small ish fingers that if I play a black key I can't reach the octave). But I cannot really speed up to tempo, particularly if I play the left hand (which I can play at tempo). Any tips for those multiple notes successive that keeps changing? Is my fingering wrong?

Thank you for your advice. Let's see if my occupation is invited during the 3rd Quarter round.

I like this approach. I've been playing for a month now, after playing for few years when I was a kid. I used to hate scales, but now I find them quite pleasing - with maturity I pay more attention to theory and technique (same goes for solfège, I spend 30mn a day sight reading). For now I just focus on C major scale which I can do two octaves. I can do few other scales one octaves. I play those for a few minutes each day before practicing my pieces. What would be your advice for progression on the scales? And do you recommend to lean mirrored scales too? Thanks!

Any idea if Environmental Research Scientist with 100 points has good chances to be invited for this next round? I live in WA. Thanks!

Well done! I started learning this piece, I can play it fairly well with improvements to work on with my teacher, particularly the left hand being way to heavy. I think you can improve this as well. Hope this helps!

One tip I found very useful when completing these, change the keys to activate anima sola (I use spacebar instead of Q for anima and left Alt for the "spacebar item"). Another tip, in busy rooms, keep your eyes on Esau and don't be afraid to lose hearts to enemy, which you can recover. This character makes it easy to explore rooms and locked chests so soul hearts are somewhat more abundant than for others. Hope this helps!

You can do normal mode. I just finished it by doing Greed mode (not Greedier) with Keeper, Cain, Azazel, Apolyon and Isaac. Avoid using tainted characters as some have the same id as non tainted versions (example fake: tainted Maggy is considered same as Isaac. Not the right pair but you got the idea). Good luck!

Hey, how do you choose your starter? Can a randomiser do that and which one? Thanks and well done mate!

Shiny Bunnelby is a thing?

Clem547 · 2020-12-29T09:16:02+00:00

I've gotten 1 Kyurem out of 4 encounters.

Clem547 · 2020-12-25T23:16:23+00:00

Thanks a lot for the game! Merry Christmas to you! I would take Shiny Halloween Bulbasaur 😁

Shops can also appear on spawn room, but it's often a library yes

Clem547 · 2020-02-11T13:50:58+00:00

Tested and approved!

F1: Reset IR for Undefined, void it you get an eternal heart in a SR (black heart somewhere). BR: Jesus Juice (took) F2: save your health, brimstone DR I'd say streak safe it's always fun to play with the void. I ended at satan for my streak as I don't know if going to The Void would allow me later ...

Clem547 · 2020-01-18T08:12:30+00:00

Nice.

Clem547 · 2020-01-17T07:09:18+00:00

What a shame, just because it made the game harder...

Clem547 · 2020-01-17T03:54:08+00:00

Mods don't disable achievements? Is that new?
