The very nature of the exercise revolves around speed.It would be pointless to take all the time needed to ensure perfect jumps each time, because whilst playing to standard, you don't have all the time you need, but a very fixed time to perform the motions.
As for the jumps, so i need to kind of incorporate the lateral motion and the chord playing into one fluent motion, rather than across, then down as 2 seperate motions.Using the inertia of the shift to come down into the keys or something like that?

...I don't think you're doing badly at all, just you need to focus more on accuracy and precision. For the time being, I don't think velocity is the issue at all - in fact trying to achieve velocity at this point may be actively counterproductive. I suspect, but I would like the second opinion of an experienced teacher like LIIW, and I have the caveat that this would be so much easier to examine in person as opposed to online, that there are physiological reasons for the errors such as lack of conditioning of the relevant hand muscles and a tendency for the fingers to be "floppy" and susceptible to hand position instability.
Well it seems to me that you can play slowly with perfection a million times over, but as soon as you play the same passage faster, you will invariably make mistakes, as all of the muscle activations are totally different for each different tempo.You cant get used to playing fast, by practising slowly and accurately.Practising slowly prepares and conditions you for playing slowly.
I really think inherited factors are the main thing limiting the speed at which people can play.
It is blatantly clear to me that there is no practice or training that can prepare a person with poor motor ability or poor cognition for any kind of fast or complex music. Some people are just slow and clumsy.Speed and precision will never come to them, even after a million hours training under the best tutor in the world.
So to play a passage both slow and fast, you would have to practice for hours at one tempo, move the metronome up 1 beat, practice at that, etc. Thousands of repetitions, and it still might not work, because maybe there's a difference between quarter = 60 and quarter = 60.5. To move tempo from 30 to 120 will take you decades, especially if you have to move by 0.1 instead of 1 beat at a time. And that's essentially what you are trying to accomplish with your incremental speedup approach. I don't think this is how it works. Rather than a distinctly different technique for every speed, I think there are probably a few discrete points where you have to alter technique. Like I can walk, jog, run, or a horse can walk, trot, canter, gallop. (that's 5 I think, don't horses have to learn to canter left and right footed? can't remember) Anyway, on that journey from 30 to 120, I suspect the technique at 30 will work fine until at some point, maybe 55, you'll come to a plateau, until you work out a way forward, which might hit another point at maybe 85-90, etc. The key point is that if I'm right, your 120 technique works all the way down! But you've learned your 30 speed technique so thoroughly you might never hit on the necessary advanced one.
Yet practicing slowly with movements that related to faster tempo this is a practice tactic used by all pianists. You rewite your last post and replace YOU with I because you have no experience teaching other people to make such assumptions.Maybe if you are mentally handicapped or suffered a stroke or lost a limb.If someone who cannot do a backflip into a pool starts with trying to do a triple backflip into a pool then after failing at doing that claims that doing backflips are imposssible, then it's their own error of over extending themselves and not prioritising what is important to master first, to build up to a level of expertise and not just dive into deep ends blindly wondering why pouring inefficient time into that isn't solving the issue.
what if they been doing single backflips every day for 10 years, and try a double backflip and cant do it? Thats a better analogy.
As far as mentally handicapped, all people suffer mental handicaps.It is simply the degree of handicap which differentiates individuals. You can actually have quite a bit of brain damage without being classified as disabled or learning impaired.Theres probably about 40 IQ points variation amongst "normal" individuals. Those 40 points make a big difference to how easily you can do various things.
And yes "I" cannot play fast by practising slowly, irrespective of the nature of slow practice.
No it isn’t we have seen your inefficient attempts. You can live in delusion who really wants to save you from that? Not me lol! You have no idea how to build up your skills and merely beat your head against a wall as if that’s correct. Why don’t you ask your world famous concert pianist teacher for help lol!Your mind is what is limiting you for sure and that already has been pointed out. You make up stories, extend truths, cannot follow instructions etc etc, all quite debilitating.Irrespective of you following instructions correctly too as was pointed out clearly in this thread. So why are you here just to cry? Don’t you have a world famous concert pianist teacher you could personally get assistance from as you so boldly proclaimed in this thread, one who overshadows all the experience of everyone on pianostreet? Lol
Its already established that the most effective and efficient practice methods still wind up producing hard limits for certain individuals.They simply wont ever advance beyond that with any form of training or practice.
I'm not sure if your comprehending what im saying. I could have a concert pianist examine my every twitch, 5 hours a day for the next 40 years, and i still wont get any better.Guidance doesn't work.Some people are suited.Some aren't.End of story.
What if the ability to practice is in itself a talent? Maybe the same talents that make you a good performer, also make you a good practicer.I certainly cant do even the basic exercises to a standard like some can, even if i have twice the focus and spend 3 times as long trying to perfect it.Once you break the skill down into components, theres only so much you can do to teach somebody how to do it better.Like shift your finger from point a to point b in X amount of time.Theres just a limited range of ways you might practice this, and eventually theres really no novel ways to continue trying.Some will do it really easy, others may never find a way to do it.
