Agillity?

[madsfr1234]

Hi there.

I want to know how to get agillity = faster fingers when you play.
Maybe some books, videos or Exerscises.

practise plenty of technique

Want speed? Then play fast in short spurts (especially effective when tackling difficult, isolated passages). If, after a while, you begin getting stiff in your wrists and forearms as a result of your fast practice, loosen up by playing slowly and deeply into the keys.

I did repetition of little finger patterns and that helped.

12, 12, 12, 12, ....
13, 13, 13...
14, 14, 14....
etc

And in sets of three's
123, 123, 123
124, 124
125, 125, 125
etc


That helped give me more control, esp over 345, and more speed.  But it took a long time and pushed my hands sometimes.

concentrate on your finger tips.

try to understand where the tension is / where the muscles are that are doing something when they shouldn't do something.

[sco737]

make shure that your tips of your fingers are curled (not to an excessive point) and that you have good arm, hand and wrist posture. posture and placement of your wrists hands and elbows must all align with the keyboard make shure that they arnt dropping.

indeed the arch of your hand is very important (= 'suspended' fingers)
