He’s speaking from experience I guess =)
There’s a really cool experiment where they took several people and had them sit down for 5 minutes a day and imagine their pinky moving as they desired.
After 2 months, their pinky dexterity had increased by 35 percent… i forgot where I read this, but it was in an interesting piano pedagogy book…
i call bullshit
Haha… funny…
Improve skills by not playing but thinking. Maybe that’s Dong’s secret?! =)
i think it is practice. its true as what da doctah says, 3,4,5 fingers are literally linked together, but i can now do trills with them. hanon, scales, whatever, just play, as long as you dont injure your fingers. it is really possible. remembah to relax and be merry.
so have a drink before u practice?
1.5 glasses of red wine from <2000 and you can do uber trills
Hofmann, Sofronitsky, Tozer, Francois etc would probably just advocate the former. 
i mean dun be impatient, dat is, be merry. hehe
hahaha i like da jacko’s style
terima kasih
O_o
Anyways, most is just brainwork and if the mind is “tensed” it won’t work.
I still find trills in thirds (e.g. Chop etude no18) very hard to play really fast.
Your trills - do you use 14-25-14-25 or 13-24-13-24?
Depends on the keys…on the first 3 sets of trills (BD# C#E, EG# F#A, BD# C#E) I use 13-24 nowadays.
On the 4th set (DF EG) I use 13-25 and on the 6th (D#F# EG#) 23-14
I second that, though its mostly because of the 4-5 problem I think. especially for thirds runs. I’ve learned just to avoid pieces with things like that until my tech matures a bit more.
best way to learn tech is to play rep with the tech. if you need 3/4/5 finger technique, why not play Leggierezza, chopet 10/2, etc
Obviously, I think it wouldn’t hurt to improve my technique by practising pieces concentrating on technical aspects I’m bad at
