Because you are going to I need to play this aim even if you played popular music or classical music. What is that? Well, we need to play op tapes. What? It's a knock table when I play seeing on the next scene at the same time, Thistle knocked eight. So sometimes we need to play like this week. I need to play something, something like that. Well, what we need to the volatile. It's like the position, the shape. It's something that this stance that or hands need to memorize. So this exercise is going to help you to learn how to play octaves, and your not only be capable to play that, but your hand is going to be, you know, going to open your fingers that the senses between is going to are going to B y either. When I started playing, but I the beginning, I was not able to play. I'll take my hands. I don't have very large hands, but not very small hands, but at the beginning was kind of difficult. So after many exercises. Hi. Are you proven that lot capable to play without any problem? The tapes. So don't worry if the beginning this is a little bit strongly for you. So what I'm going to do that? I'm going to make this movement. I'm going to throw my hand. I'm going to use my my arms, my arm and went to true my through my hand like this. This is not a vertical movement. And it is not like this because we don't want to heat the edge off the key. We don't want to get hurt or names. We must be careful with that. But I wouldn't want to do this. I'm going to do this on then I'm going to relax that if you're playing especially if you are playing in an acoustic piano, then the acoustic piano is really going to you produce a very wife and deeper sound. When you play like so juice, your sound is going to improve on. You will be able to play louder when it's necessary. Now I'm going to play the opt A but right here at the C sharp And this is some things can be a little difficult because the Black Keys, far less whether that's the reality. So the distance, the size of the key. This is a smaller so that we need to be careful with that. But the attention you're going to play the octave with. Finger number four when you play. Why keys. We're going to play finger one of five on when I play black Keys that I want to be one and four. Why? Because you have more control. Figure number. Ford's really stronger, so I'm going to use like this. I'm going to use its like this. I'm going to play eso at the beginning. Maybe you want to do this to your fingers, going to sleep like this. But it's OK. Don't worry. Just keep trying. So I'm going to a C sharp Danglard to play two D on I relax. I take a few seconds before playing. The next note I love this exercise is because really help me to improve my son, and I can feel how my hands are getting stronger. They're going down. Do now. We're into practices. We might lift him the same very normal that you feel more confident playing. Wait for one of your hands Don't play the same time. Just play separated. Uh huh. So that's the way you're going to practice octaves in the next videos. We're going to know it's a different way to play in this That is really going to help. 3.
