How Do You Play 1/16th Ascending Or Descending Notes Really Fast On The Piano With One Hand?
December 23rd, 2009 by admin | Filed under sports.I want to learn how. I’ve never had or taken any formal/informal piano classes or lessons. I’ve been playing for 4 years (self-taught) and I’ve been jealous at the many who can play like 10 ascending or descending 1/16th notes on the piano with one hand. How? Is there a technique? Or do those people just have talent and good hand eye coordination?
Have little kids? Order them the Playskool Dance Camera…they will love it.

Let’s say your playing a C major scale ( you know, Sound of Music) and your descending from the upper C to Middle C. Start with your pinkie (5th finger) on your right hand on the upper C. go down with each finger until you stop at the thumb (1st finger). then, cross your 3rd finger over your thumb. After that, just keep crossing over your third finger over your thumb (crossing over = CO)
Same procedure if your ASCENDING on the left hand
If you’re decending on left hand or ascending on right hand, just follow these fingers: 1-2-3-1-2-3-4-5
Between the two 1-2-3s, tuck your thumb UNDER your third finger. (tuck under = TU)
Sorry if this is confusing. You really need to take lessons. It’s the best way to learn piano.
Good Luck!
It takes practice to build finger’s strength and virtuosity. You will need to start slow. Turn on the metronome and set at lower speed and gradually increase (going from 72 -84 96 etc) it. This will help your finger’s strength and accuracy.
Most piano players made the mistake of playing too fast and never takes the patience to build finger’s strength. The finger will collapse when playing too fast - this affects the tone and touch.
Also try out fingering exercises such as Hanon or Czerny exercise book. You should be able to find these at any music store.
I believe largely it has to do with the finger position, and a rolling motion of keeping a continuous flow either up or down…and just lots and lots of practice….I try to hear it in my head as I am playing the notes.
The trick is to practice various scales and then gradually pick up speed…again practice practice practice…

there is a technique
starting with your thumb as your first finger:
1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2-3-4
of course there’s different fingerings for every type of scale, but that’s the basic one. of course you have to practice in order to master it.
