Methods to improve playback speed
1. Ways to improve playback speed
1. Piano rapid technique exercise: mainly the conditioned stimulation exercise of the central nervous system.
In the rapid performance of the piano, we don't have time to consider how every sound, every movement and even every key point is carried out. Many things are "don't care too much". If a certain playing method or a certain joint is inaccurate and unskilled, the performance will be ambiguous or "stuck" in the middle, which is also a very embarrassing thing. This situation often happens not only to ordinary players, but also to famous pianists. Fortunately, they have strong communication skills to cover up such defects, but this cannot be an excuse for everyone to practice the piano in a hurry.
In order to stimulate the central nervous system with reasonable fixed conditions, we must pay enough attention to the movements of each finger in the process of learning piano. The most effective and appropriate placement of each action, the orientation and energy of action operation, and the key points of connection between actions. Only by combining this appropriate action into a whole. The fluency of performance is the most fundamental guarantee. Every training can't allow such a misunderstanding-an exercise of ignoring and evading responsibility-to exist, because a bad habit formed carelessly requires great efforts to correct, and sometimes it may not be effective.
In the daily training of piano, we should effectively allocate our concentration. Playing fast requires a lot of physical strength and concentration. After a long time, it is very easy to get tired and lead to abnormal playing.
1) effective planning and distribution of concentration: it is undoubtedly a wise choice to put the excitement into the difficult part of the whole song. When playing a long technical and obscure work, you should find a gap in the music to let your fingers relax and rest, so as to facilitate the final sprint of the whole work. In order to better improve the commercial insurance index, endurance training and controlled exercise are indispensable "hard training".
2) Training of interosseous muscles: Many piano educators and piano teachers have developed professional teaching materials. Among these textbooks, the more acceptable ones are Hanon's Piano Practice, Harris's Piano Finger Training, Pisuna's Finger Training, and Pianist Cotto's Effective Rules of Piano Technique. "Hanon Piano Practice" is basically the first choice of novice finger training textbook for piano teachers. It's very simple and easy, but I often find that many practitioners don't understand my intention. Only according to the textbook physical training, the actual effect of this training will be greatly affected.
Hanon's Piano Practice
3) Hanon's training method:
In the first stage, for children who are beginners of piano, they are trained to stand on the scale of C minor and integrate into various sound forms.
In the second stage, sons who have been trained to play the piano for more than 2 years walk around and run around on the # C key. Playing this key will make the hands of each group feel different, and the symptoms of finger weakness will be more obviously exposed.
In the third stage, they are required to train each Hanon piano etude with the hand position of negative seventh chord, which divides an octave into four equal finger distances on average. In this way, each finger can be practiced in flexion and extension, and the training difficulty coefficient and compressive strength are very large.
After coming out like that for three times, most students will train Hanon in time. For particularly weak fingers, you can also add variations such as retaining fingers and dotted notes to carry out auxiliary exercises.
Every book has its own characteristics and regulations about the exercise of central nervous system conditioning stimulation, but you should either find some periodic items from different performances to facilitate people to play automatically, thus reducing the difficulty coefficient of fast playing.

2. The basic physiology of fast playing
1) The interosseous muscles are well developed.
Interosseous muscle is located at the root of fingers and plays a vital role in playing the piano quickly. People who have long-term experience in playing the piano have much more developed interosseous muscles than ordinary people. For ordinary people, the congenital condition of interosseous muscle of each finger is unbalanced. The innate standard of the second and third fingers is the best and the most flexible. The fourth finger is weak. Although the big finger is strong, the left and right fitness exercise is not its advantage. Can only tend to fitness exercises, but the law of piano playing is to correspond to the left and right fitness exercises of computer keyboard as much as possible. In this sense, the thumb is also considered weak. The main way to practice interosseous muscle is to improve the range and compressive strength of finger keystroke. Basic training means that every finger does vibrato exercises on the keyboard every day, and in leisure time, he does lateral movements of his fingers according to finger training exercises to improve the keystroke speed of his fingers.
2) Harmonious unity of shoulders, arms, wrists and fingers.
In all the basic theories of piano performance, it is recognized that the energy of piano performance comes from the whole body, not a part of the body. The first finger that immediately affects the piano computer keyboard is the index finger. If you want to pop up a concave-convex feeling on the piano, the first finger must be as long as iron as a god. However, this percussion performance is not a panacea for piano sound. In order to make the piano sound better, besides the steel core, a complete coat is needed, so the extension effect of the wrist is very important. Wrist can not only adjust the energy of shoulder and arm satisfactorily, but also make players more relaxed and anxious. In the case of playing gorgeous harmony and octave music, it often seems that the energy of shoulders alone is more than enough. Then the best force position should be the shoulder and even the whole body.
3) The growth and development of players' thalamus and the innate Newton's second law.
A player who takes pleasure in the rapid development of thalamus and his own balance is likely to produce clear action memory in fast and difficult performance; On the contrary, there will be too many mistakes, the voice will be blurred, and the performance will be hard and laborious.
Many piano teachers often ask students to learn the piano at a slow speed, thinking that slow training can make the performance accurate and help improve fluency. There's nothing wrong with that. We often see that students can play a fast song very accurately at a very slow speed, but once the speed of this song is used, there will be many inaccuracies immediately. What is the reason? There is another situation that needs attention: there are many people who practice the piano very hard every day, but only a handful of them are really proficient, which shows that the relatively developed level and balance of thalamus are indeed a very key standard among many standards of piano performance.
I once did an experiment in which many piano learners of the same age studied and trained the piano according to the same teaching work plan in the same school year. Under the condition of the same study time, the progress of their piano technical progress is not exactly the same, some are meticulous and accurate, and some are not smooth and vague. In this kind of subjects, these thalamus are more developed and balanced, and the progress of learning piano is faster than those who think that the development trend is good. The speed and accuracy of the performance need to be higher. However, the harm of this factor to piano learning and training has not attracted enough attention from teachers and students.
The function of cerebellum is mainly to maintain balance and accurately manipulate muscle strength. It also allows the software of the whole body muscle system to carry out detailed technical fitness exercises. According to its introduction, thalamus communicates with human brain, spinal cord and spinal nerve in a large number of ways, and participates in the adjustment of body balance and muscle tension, as well as the coordination of leisure and fitness activities. The thalamus is like a big controller. On the one hand, adjust the balance and color of the body, on the other hand, exercise harmoniously and casually. According to complex regulation and information feedback, thalamus becomes a harmonious nerve center to maintain balance and muscle strength, and also enables the whole body muscle system software to carry out detailed technical fitness exercises.
Doing outdoor activities often and improving physical and energy literacy is the most important way to improve the ability to balance work. On the basis of improving the overall physical fitness, everyone can also complete some auxiliary training that is conducive to improving their work ability.
Methods to improve playback speed
2. Ways to improve the playback speed
1. Fingertip alignment training: close your eyes, extend your arms horizontally, and extend your fingers at the same time. The relative speed of your arms and chest allows your hands to be aligned accurately. Turn to other fingers for training after you are proficient. Gradually, you are likely to make mistakes. Through a period of practice, the player's sense of balance can be exercised reasonably.
2. Silent practice: In the absence of a piano, imagine the movements, hand positions and each node of your hand playing continuously on the piano. This kind of training can promote the balanced sensory memory of playing movements.
3. Tactile exercise: Do kick training at fixed intervals (such as five degrees, six degrees, eight degrees and ten degrees) on the keyboard.
4. Playing method:
1) Kicking: In the final analysis, this is a very mechanical action, especially kicking twice over 9 degrees is purely a matter of method. It is important to practice slowly at first. Only slow training can weaken the muscles. Remember that the slope must be inclined during the slow training of the piano arpeggio octave, so that there will be no mispronouncing in the case of fast playing.
2) Single finger practice: To master this skill, you must have a certain mastery of piano playing. Schmidt's piano example course is piano fingering training with a certain degree of difficulty, but after playing, you will find that the skill problem that was impossible to prevent is no longer difficult. Liszt's Grey Bird is a very beautiful ditty, but many people can't play it neatly, that is, the problem of finger isolation is not handled well at all.
3) Minor scale and piano arpeggio are the most basic and common techniques in piano, and they are also the most easily overlooked techniques in piano performance.
It is often seen that the playing sound is asymmetric and the playing method is disordered. Then make practicing the piano a painful thing. In fact, it is not difficult to find that we should pay attention to the technical study of minor scales. Basically, any minor scale consists of two basic hand positions-the three-finger hand position and the four-finger hand position. What we have to do is how to connect these two hands well.
In minor scales and piano arpeggios, there is another annoying thing: the big finger is usually a rude speaker because of his clumsiness; On the other hand, four fingers are just the opposite. If it is not harmonious or accurate enough to turn your fingers, then in a series of fast minor scales, vague sounds are usually played by four fingers. Professional chromatic technique is actually relatively simple, and playing black keys with three fingers is the most important way.
Generally speaking, the minor scale technique is an intelligent playing technique, and it is enough to cultivate such a habit: in every training case, it is enough to pay special attention to the key sounds and playing methods of the music. Professional slow training is not conducive to the improvement of fluency, but makes practitioners lazy and causes a lot of inaccuracies.
5. Correct playing method
The correct playing method is the key and the most important factor to play the piano well. Playing is like building a tall building and piling. If the foundation is not firm, firm and unreasonable, then the house will collapse without building multiple floors. Ignoring this stage is a common phenomenon in piano classroom teaching at this stage.
Grasp the reasonable hand shape
6. Grasp the reasonable hand shape
When learning the piano, the teacher will teach you to grasp the reasonable piano hand shape. Because the order of keys on the computer keyboard of the piano must be coordinated by hands and fingers, the wrong hands may not play accurately. Whether the music is played smoothly or not is largely related to your playing method, but it is also related to the hand type of playing the piano. So, what is the right hand shape to play the piano? That is to say, the palm and fingers are the most relaxed hand shapes. Because the relaxed situation is the most ergonomic hand type, in theory, this relaxed hand type is also called basic hand type.
The main hand types of the piano:
1) fingers are bent, palms are empty, and little fingers are protruding. Generally, when you just learn to play the piano, you will use an egg to train.
2) Separate your fingers and put each finger on about half of the keys of a piano.
3) Keep your arms and fingers level with the piano. When playing black keys, you should move your fingers and arms towards black keys.
Key points of staff drawing: learning the basic theory of excellent music-staff.
As we all know, playing the piano ultimately requires reading the music faster, so that you can play the music faster. Therefore, it is very important to look at the staff, because it is also the foundation, and you can't play good music without looking at the staff. Of course, learning staff is not a day or two. At the beginning, the level of reading staff is not very strong, but if you train hard and keep training, your ability to read staff will also improve after your overall strength of learning piano in Shanghai is improved.
After mastering the study and training of the staff and the correct hand shape, everyone needs to pay attention to the basic training. Nothing can be learned quickly. If you train patiently and attentively, you will succeed in the end. I used to practice my basic skills with Hanon music when I was studying piano. You can basically play the piano well, so you don't have to work so hard to learn some difficult songs, and you are close to your piano dream. In fact, the ways and means to improve the speed of piano playing are expected to help you!
