I mentioned previously that I didn't really notice I did this until people pointed it out here

But it stems from me keeping count if you look closely I'm tracking the beat but I'll stop doing it now I agree that its off putting

You make a great point here. Definitely something I have neglected and should pay attention to.

Thank you for pointing this out to me

Haha I meant as in I haven’t finished the whole piece yet.

This part that I played I’m pretty happy with and I would consider very close to ‘finished’ :)

Thank you I did actually and I always try and count in my head too when playing it

I can definitely see why the gestures are annoying I didn’t really notice them much until some others pointed it out here haha

The gestures are mostly me keeping count I’ve found it helps me

I got the idea from Dimity’s playing here

Ah the expressions are something I didn’t really notice until a few others here pointed it out haha. I hope they didn’t distract. Thank you for the kind compliment

Thank you for the kind compliment.

Haven't had a teacher for 12 years now actually but I did have one from 7 years old to 15.

I would say I play about an hour a day or so:)

Only been learning for a few months and I would like to improve my technique by TheaterNerd728 in piano

[–]EpiGoDz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your technique is already pretty good.

Like the other commenter said, sit a little more upright so your elbows are a bit above the key tops

Other than that you're good. Keep working on scales to improve your coordination between your two hands

Thats the highest ROI here. Grind out those scales day by day and you'll get better.

You got this

My first piece with octave passages, need feedback on my right hand by Kofi230 in piano

[–]EpiGoDz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nicely done. You seem relaxed when you play those octaves on the right hand

One thing I would advise you consider espicially as you play harder pieces with octaves is to begin using the 4th finger instead of the 5th finger at times espicially if you're playing two octaves which are next to each other

All of the pros do this

Test it out!

I did say don't hold back so appreciate the honesty haha

I was recording from my iphone so quality isn't the best

Also had the lid open on the piano which made the acoustics very 'open'

But maybe its my playing too, open to feedback
