Learn Extended Piano Techniques (PIANO SOUNDS YOU NEVER HEARD BEFORE)

Thank you for watching! Which extended piano technique is your favourite? Please let us know by commenting below!

Merci beaucoup. This explains many of the sounds we've heard in film and music. Couldn't some of those techniques damage the strings? It might be interesting to use a tuner before and after each effect. Why didn't you try a tambourine? And why not design a tambourine specifically to be placed on the strings in various locations, and maybe adjust the wood and bells for bass or soprano strings?

Interesting. Definitely has some The Shining vibes to it. Come to think of it, Stanley Kubrick’s films, in general, are those that come to mind. Has its place, undeniably. My concern, though, would be damage to a very expensive instrument. I don’t see myself getting anywhere near attempting many of these things without someone very close that could repair or restore, as needed. Tempting, as it is an extremely well-made resonance box, but an upmost appreciation for craftsmanship would be good enough for me. Then again, if I spent upwards of $50k on an instrument this elegant, I’d have to add “care” to the toolbox—at least at a basic level. It’s funny, because right here is where I see Siwan Rhys. I imagine the folks that have her are happy to have her, and are like, “Together—like with music—where can’t we go?” Better for it! Appreciate the lesson.

8:36 You turned a piano into a raw sinewave. I didn't even know that was possible

You are a valuable resource. When I was a child in the late 60's & 70's I was caught by my teacher doing similar things to the piano in the music room of school. I was severely scolded and punished for my wonder. Thank you for this presentation.

I wish I go Where you go, Absolutely marvellous music is everywhere, I love Jet engines or anything Mechanical and Piano of course

What a nice sounding piano. A very good demonstration, thanks!

She's awesome! I really like her. This is a fascinating tutorial! I've heard some of these techniques before in a few horror movies! Once she glided her nail over the strings, I finally figured out how they got certain sounds in the movie Black Christmas! 😄

I'm just mesmerized by the E bowl sound. Almost has is it generates pure sine waves

Very nicely done! Thank you! I will enjoy using it as introduction to a composition-course for kids.

can you provide how these effects are written on paper?

The Ebow sound was gorgeous. I reckon it'd be amazing to hear Ebow bring out some upper structure over LH arpeggios.

Thank you for your explanations.

Nice sounds! I can imagine 2 or 3 Ebows. Also, electronic delays or looping. Of course, John Cage's pieces for prepared piano are key. (No pun intended).

Thanks for the great video! What is your opinion about the following? Does sweat or moisture from the fingertips hurt the strings?

Great stuff. Will start trying these out with my students.

I am completely mesmerized !!!!!!!!! Amazing content !!!!!Thanks for blowing my mind

How do you teach pianists to memorize which pitches are where when you're looking into the strings side?

Very good job and clearly explained!
