Focus on each hand separately

Every budding pianist goes through the “separate hand practice” phase where your tutor instructs you to concentrate on each hand separately instead of using both. Separate hand movement can drastically improve your technique; you can now identify the problem areas and work on them.

Left hand is weakest for most piano players, since most people are right handed. The great thing about stringed instruments like guitar and violin , along with the piano, is that they require a strong, well articulated left hand to add to a better performance. Focus more of your practise on LH.

 The right hand will play the same notes you learned to play in the left hand – except, they will be played in a broken format, in the same order as the LH. So, every time you play the solid 4-tone chord in the left hand, play the broken 4-tone chord in the right. Now, move up to the next chord to do the same thing.

 Left hand improv progression for a first exercise: Play C-E-G, as a solid Chord. Then, move up to D-F-A. Finally move to E-G-B. You are working up the scale. After E-G-B, head down to DFA, and end at CEG.

This time as you play CEG as a solid chord in the LH, play CEG as a broken chord in the right. This is a warm up for a more sophisticated 7^th chord, coming up in the next post.

Referring to the last post and exercise: This time we're going to add a 7^th tone – either a major 7^th or a minor 7^th to the solid chord in the left hand. For the C major chord, add a B to the right of the chord, and play as a solid chord.

 Next add an C after the DFA solid chord. Then add a D after the E minor chord of EGB. Practise each of these chords back and forth. Guess what we're going to do with the next assignment?
