Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! Best advice I can offer is to sing out loud when you play. The colors of your voice, how you feel when you sing the music, will be reflected through your fingers.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @springgrass Best thing to do for pedal is not use it at all. learn how to play without pedal, and then, like in cooking, slowly add the seasoning so you don't over salt the soup, right?…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Michelle R Ear training is a broad topic. There are many components to this. I like the idea of sight singing because it brings the voice to the forefront. Rhythmic training as well.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Aline Valade Very simply, in moderation. Give yourself time to do these technical regime sections slowly and without feeling pressured to get it all done quickly. You will have pain, I fear.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @aliceyip 1: I think you might create a nice quality of sound by just using the damper pedal with discretion? Every piano is different. If you like using the middle pedal for certain things and have…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Bryan I once played several etudes by Chopin on an instrument that was built right after Chopin's piano. So much lighter! Our instruments are more difficult to play, actually.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Benjamin Woodard Hi Ben! So, for the "Sleigh Ride", there are basically no tricks, but to merely learn it as written. It will feel comfortable after a while.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Mathias Regenberg Good questions! Practice without pedal first is good. But do read through a new piece and use the feet naturally, how you might hear it in your head before you play it.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Michael M Variety. And move on to things to learn more and more. Get a piece to a good level, and learn more. Sometimes learning a new piece helps the older piece feel better because it is fresh, or,…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @ALICE Great questions! I think the weak beats are very important for pulse. You can emphasize the weak beats by saying or singing out loud "1 'AND' 2 'AND'", or,…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @PeighK There are many ways. This is a wonderful question, and I am glad you asked. Like reading a book, we often read the summary on the inside cover pages to get an idea of what the book is about.…

Re: Jeffrey Biegel: Ask me anything! @Victorino Repeated notes is always a challenge. Every hand is different. I might try using 3-1-3-1-3-1-3-1 on those repeated Gs, or 3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2. I like the 3-1 to relax the palm of the hand.…
