As I learned, many of you are self-taught piano players and never had a piano class. I try to cover several popular mistakes in piano-playing techniques that we are prone to do.
The song, Supalonely was released back in . Benee and Gus Dapperton certainly liked to challenge themselves when writing!
Supalonely is perfect for those with advanced skills. The Supalonely score requires arduous effort. I will add an easier one if this page will be popular.
Benee & Gus Dapperton presents us with a wide range of dynamics (the sound volume levels). This song follows the universal model for the Bubblegum Pop-song. Its rhythmic basis is sustained throughout, so the LH’s primary duty will be to provide an even footing.
Before touching the piano keys, warm up your fingers and wrists with slow and soft circular motions and moderate stretching. Rotate your shoulders and arms.
To begin with, practise hands separately, slowly, and in small pieces of one-two bars.
Practise the harder passages first and do it frequently.
Count out loud to ensure precise rhythm. By counting I mean a tA-ta, tA-ta, not an old inefficient one-and, two-and.
Accent strong beats and play the first bar of any phrase louder than the last bar.
Make sure to arch your fingers. This is crucial for the health of your wrists and palms.
Slacking your fingers will overwork them and cause strain.
Keep relaxed, flexible wrists, hands and arms when playing Superlonely.
A flexible wrist allows producing a warm sound.
Both hands should play smoothly (legato) if not indicated the opposite (staccato).
Accuracy in articulation are essential for playing Supalonely piano sheet music.
Your tone should be robotic and static. To sound so, keep your fingers close to the keys and do some firm practice from the knuckles.
The patterns can become repetitive if not coloured imaginatively and played with rhythmic stamina. This will create some drama in your performance.
Supalonely is speedy. Always keep the hands relaxed, especially with repeated notes, piano keyboard is not lightweight and causes a muscle pain.
Don’t forget to bring dynamic colour to your performance by quickly moving from piano to forte; play every new part with a different volume level.
Listen to the actual track Supalonely as you begin to learn the arrangement.
Practise slowly with an obvious emphasis on the topline. Keep your wrist and hand loose and relaxed as you do this.
Notice how short phrasing is. Put the emphasis on the first note of each phrase.
The verses require a different timbre, a deeper touch and a slight tenuto. Don’t attack the keys.
After getting familiar with the RH, focus on the LH. Practise the LH alone here to ensure a rich and mellow bass.
This is one of those pieces where the bulk of the practising will be devoted to an accompaniment.
The LH is generally soft throughout.
When playing arpeggiated accompaniment, start slow and steady. Only as you become more accustomed to the notes and fingerings of the arpeggio, begin to increase your speed.
Keep the upper notes lighter (those usually played by the “heavy” thumb), and focus on adding color to the lower notes in the left-hand pattern.
Producing a completely smooth and connected tone at the piano (legato playing) in arpeggiated playing is one of the trickiest things to achieve. Avoid being choppy and disconnected to enable expressing the sound to the fullest. Do not solely rely on the pedal for legato, but rather rely on the fingers, to create as much independence in tone, dynamics, expression, etc. between the various textures and voices. Use this technique on melodic lines and when you want to keep accompaniment figures more in the background.
The song has rapid scalic passage work combined with a dance-like rhythm.
In ascending arpeggios or in passagework watch out the rotation of the wrist with which you assist the fingers. Banging on the keys, twisting, curling or overstretching of the fingers to their maximum limits will lead to micro-injuries and fatigue. Instead of the motion of your fingers, employ the natural rotary movements of both the forearm and the hand. Professional pianists protect their fingers from fatigue this way.
As you begin to practise both hands together, start slowly before gradually increasing your tempo.
In the last phase of learning a piece the use of a metronome is vital as you will be working on rhythmic partnerships between both hands. Nearly all modern pop music contains a firm beat. Become aware of the underlying 'pulse' and accent where the 'stronger' beat falls but remember that more is less. Avoid over-using your left hand. Aim at simple and clear playing.
Focus on soloing with the right hand without relying on the accompaniment in the left hand. Make every single note that you play to mean something.
In playing any piano transcription of a song, the aim is to give the impression of a singer (the RH) that is being accompanied by a sensitive pianist (the LH). Imagine a duet between a band and a singer, so color the two hands differently. Coordinating the parts may take some time to organise convincingly.
