Technical Exercises for the piano are usually seen as boring but they should instead be seen for what they truly are: a way to reinforce these smaller components so that the greater things may be achieved with ease.

Here, I share a few exercises as well as encourage you to create your own. Primarily, however, I introduce you to a very powerful way to improve your abilities; that of 'finding your natural limit'. This means that you execute the required exercises or difficult passage from a piece of music, and play it with your eyes closed at whatever speed you can without making one single mistake.

Repeating this about 10 times with a fixed metronome speed that you have noted, increase the speed by 10. As with water, steady persistence shall prevail.
