Fluency
on: July 19, 2010, 08:38:49 AM
What is the actual meaning or opinion for fluency in piano-playing?



The sense of proficiency, "fluency" encompasses a number of related but separable skills:

Reading: the ability to easily read and understand texts written in the language;[3]
Writing: the ability to formulate written texts in the language;
Comprehension: the ability to follow and understand speech in the language;
Speaking: the ability to produce speech in the language and be understood by its speakers

Good technique, good interpretion or good sight-reading? What are your views?

I looked up the word  "fluency"  which is from the adjective, "fluent"
meaning: skillful and smoothly flowing. 
Now, as in piano playing I hope we play smoothy and flowing, so that the melodic
passages will make sense in what we are trying to convey through our playing.
Yesterday was the day that passed,
Today is the day I live and love,Tomorrow is day of hope and promises...
