piano affecting your technique?

on: August 12, 2004, 05:24:11 AM

i was just thinking- does the type of piano you practice affect your technique? like if you practice on a crappy piano will your technique disinegrate into badness and vice versa with a bril piano?

I actually happen to believe that yes, the piano that you play on day in and day out will eventually catch up with you and will inhibit you from reaching your full technical ability. This is only true however to a certain point, the fine line where the problem is due to the instrument, or the musician playing the instrument.

I believe that yes in fact the instrument that you play on day in and day out will eventually catch up with you and it will inevitably inhibit you from reaching your full potential as a musican and from reaching your full technical ability. I however, also believe that there is a fine line that is almost undistinguishable and that is the line that defines the problem as being the musician or the musician's instrument.

I believe that is a huge problem, no matter if your piano is top of the line or junk. All instruments behave differently, and it is always intimidating to play on an unfamiliar one when it counts... like an exam or competition.

About the only way to aid this problem is to try to practice on as many different pianos as possible, good and bad.
