One of the most difficult things for any piano teacher to impart is the necessity of learning
technique properly and incorporating it into a daily practice routine. I have found that talking
about how to practice technique, why it is important, and what it can instill in an individual's
playing are essential to a piano student's continued development.
Here are five C-words that can help with this task.
1. Command. Scales, triads, chords, and arpeggios are not stand-alone exercises--they
are building blocks for creating music, as any composer will tell you. Knowing how to play
these musical building blocks will simplify the process of learning and understanding music
you encounter. In addition, technique contains the seeds of piano playing's physicality such
as finger strength, good fingering habits, finger crossing, arm weight, hand and arm
stability, and the integration of these over time into an efficient playing setup. That scale
passage in a Beethoven Sonata will be much easier to incorporate into your performance if
you know you've already learned and mastered the relevant scale and its fingering.

2. Clarity. Have you heard a perfectly executed 4-octave arpeggio lately? They are
becoming rarer and rarer these days, to the chagrin of many an RCM examiner. Spending
time on these technical exercises can teach you to listen to the details of playing necessary
for developing an acute sense of awareness that can allow you to be in the moment in all
your playing.
3. Comfort. Technique isn't just about the accuracy game, but about incorporating a large
number of physical concepts into a whole. Are you comfortable when you play? Where is
the tension? Does anything hurt? Working with your teacher in solving these problems
through technique can create a basis for a stable and workable playing setup when playing
repertoire.
4. Creativity. A common myth about technique is that is is boring. Part of a teacher's job is
to make the daily dose into a fun and rewarding part of a student's practice day. Why not
bundle basic technical exercises with the learning of musical concepts? Here are just a few
ideas:
Vary the order--Arrange the order of exercises by type (ie. octave scales, triads,
etc.), key, play them all and note the problems, work only on problem patterns. Warm up
with technique or cool down with it. Creating a new experience all the time can eliminate
the boredom.
5. Confidence. It's performance night and you've waiting backstage. Have you done your
work? If you haven't, you may experience the genuine fear associated with performance
anxiety and it ain't fun. How to deal with performance anxiety? Do your preparation, both
with the specific piece you're performing and the relevant technical requirements, so you
can feel the deep confidence of both being able to play both musical works and your
instrument with command, clarity, comfort, creativity, and confidence.
