Greetings.From my experience, you can't jump through Czerny. Czerny covers many many things, which are further used in the Chopin etudes. Just slightly dabbling in Czerny isn't going to have any effect. From my experience, deep Czerny study greatly pays off, that is when I have an etude in speed.
now that you mention it gonzola ^^! are there any books that deal with chopin's teaching methods i think ive come across of one but forgot the name thanks
Re: Can i jump through School of Velocity to Chopin's etudes?
You can go right to Godowsky's transcriptions of Chopin's etudes if you prefer.My teacher thought that the best way to "build technique" was to Czerny and Hanon-ize the fingers. I ignored his "advice" and went into Godowsky's transcriptions (mostly for musical purposes.) It was a pivotal moment in the improvement in the coordination of my body (not because I learned it but because I knew how.) What I was able to accomplish was impossilbe according to his ideas. I learned the first few Hanon exercises and gave up after pain in my left hand. I had never learned a complete Czerny study or at full tempo. And then I told him I was learning a Chopin/Godowsky etude...You could imagine the doubt he may have had.He is now a former teacher partly because of this and because taking lessons from him was demoralizing - he had little confidence in me and said I couldn't play what I wanted because "you need to be realistic... you don't have the technique". Being assigned pieces which sounded terrible are not on my list priorities. But you probably shouldn't listen to me. I was a bad student. Not just from him but all of my past teachers.
Exactly. Jumping right into very difficult etudes is possible, for anyone. Playing them correctly and at tempo before even attempting the easier and basic technique is impossible. Sure you could just jump into them, but guess how long you are going to be scrutinizing those modicum sections of etudes before even allowing them to sound right? With easier etudes one will not have to spend a really long while to perfect them.
That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything. See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie. But that's just me.
