In the Hall of the mountain king (Update progress + Hanon 2)

Hi Hellene

Thanks for checking my work. I have done revision from my last post. I have tried more than 100 times, but still not processing with 100% accuracy.
I have a problem when I played too long, my brain tends to automatically play along with my hands, when i key one wrongly, my brain tends to loss the entire keys and I have to restart all over again.

When i make mistakes, i break the mind automation and relook the keys then i am back to my senses and found the key. What is wrong here? Are you able to understand what i am explaining??

My updated video not to perfection. Please let me know my progress. Tks very much.

Melissam you are doing an excellent job by plating this piece with 2 hands! Brava!
However, let's follow some importanr instruction.

1. Please, cut bars 3-4 (you see them on picture 1)
In order to do that, please, check your hot keys by pressing F1
You have to use presentation 6 and use up/down or left/right arrows to reach the first note of the bar 3
CTRL+Enter
Go to the first note of the bar 5 and press CNTRL+backspace (Windows)

2, Press 1, 3, 4 or 5 and R for right hand and practive just these 2 bars using fingering that was marked: after 5th you have to play F (or Fa) with thumb. Practice just right hand

3. After mastering the segment press CTRL+space bar and play the piece from the beginning to this point.

Let me know, if understood.

If not, please, write to me: I will create a video for you

Hi Hellene
The instructions seem a bit complicated to me. In order to get it right in the first place and looking forward with a successful long journey outcome, could I request your help with the video please, I would really grateful for your kindness.
Thanks in advance.

Melissa, did you try to follow the weekly lesson plans for adult beginners? It is step-by-step way to learn everything from scratch. Exercises and scales/chords are the best way to learn how to manage your fingers.
Just in case, here is the link to the lesson plans: globalmusiceducation.com/pages/piano-int...eginners-all-lessons

Please, first check the video instruction about how to cut any segment in your Gentle Piano module:



Learn how to choose your bars for work.

After cutting any segment play it with Right hand by pressing R, Left hand with L and both by pressing P.

You also can hide notes of R,L and P by pressing H (hide) after each hot key: RH, LH and PH

Here is 2 videos that we created for you to fix the fingering:

1. Bars 3-4, 7-8, 19-20 and partially 23-24 (excuse my puppy for making noise during the recording):



2. Bars 9-16 based on one trick. Watch:



I suggest you to learn these challenging parts with correct fingering first by segments and only after that play the piece from the beginning to the end in slow motion.
After gaining some confidence, practice the piece with separate hands and only after that with both hands using my teaching video with metronome.

Hope, this will help. Otherwise, feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance.
Melissa

I am looking forward to see your progress.
