Introduction to Piano Technique: A 4-Week Beginner's Program

Start with a slow, relaxed finger exercise from C, keeping hands loose and independent. Practice five times each hand, separating the hands and watching your fingers to cultivate relaxed technique.

Practice a two-handed sequence from D to C, played twice: legato first, then with articulation. Say notes aloud and review legato and articulation.

Engage with the course by practicing consistently, tackling piano and ear training exercises, and sharing feedback and questions to improve content and understanding.

Explore day 15 of the intro to piano technique, a 4-week beginner program, practicing alternating note orders with both hands, using right-hand CGP and left-hand five-three-one in legato.

Practice finger 1-4-5 and 5-2 with relaxed wrist motion to build stronger fingers, improve hand coordination, and produce a piano sound with correct fingerings.

Practice combining finger patterns from earlier exercises while playing a musical phrase with both hands, starting with articulation, coordinating left hand, and gradually increasing speed into pianissimo dynamics.

Day 21 continues a four-week pattern practice, moving note names across the keyboard to reinforce note sequencing and finger preparation, while guiding separate-hand practice before combining both hands.

Day 22 guides a fifth interval exercise with relaxed fingertips and proper finger alignment, teaching beginners to avoid stretching, practice the left hand separately, then coordinate both hands.

Learn the interval of a second with precise finger positioning, practicing two-note patterns in sequence, using staccato then piano, while keeping wrists relaxed and nails short; practice with separate hands.

Develop third finger patterns using fingers 1–3 and 3–5, keep fingers close, move across the keyboard gently, and avoid playing both hands together in early practice.

Develop finger control and musical awareness by practicing intervals, C, G, C patterns across octaves with relaxed hands and focused left-hand practice.
