Practicing Thoughts

Remember: your body remembers from day to day, but cannot remember from last week. It says to you, “I remember this from yesterday!” but, will never say, “I remember this from last week!” No, it forgets what you did on the piano last week. Each day is the key to building a piece.

Here is something else to consider...

You can have as many feelings as you want while playing the piano, but if you don’t have control of the piano, no one else can enjoy your feelings as well: only you. Control gives you the ability to convey those feelings.

In other words, you need to have a good technique. Powerful fingers, each with its own power to provide its own little explosion into the key as you play, round fingers and a relaxed elbow.
