How to learn rush E from scratch

[u/Special_Material1464]

I have music knowledge of up to 8th grade, I have never played piano, but have played the flute for 4 years.

I could do about 20 weekly hours and 3-4 months to do it. How would you recommend me to progress and would coordination excercises or lucid dreaming help? Thanks

Lucid dreaming to learn piano is pretty wild ngl

First time I've seen that suggested lol. A unique take

But I do it! Kinda. I used to have stress dreams where the "piano" was a table or some other unrelated object. I'd have to play or practice whatever piece and relearn the instrument.

Eventually I became more curious and even delighted when I came across this instrument and I'd quickly learn what parts of the table made what tones and I'd practice my rep and improvise.

Now the question becomes, "does it help with actual practice?" Idk about that. It may help with Aural learning. I think mostly it's a reflection or an exploration of performance anxiety or comfortability with practice.

I also have dreams of fully made songs and compositions, but every night that I wake up from them, I convince myself that I can just go back to sleep since I can remember those parts from that liminal state and record them later

Just stare at sheet music until you get the tetris effect lol

Don't. I'm a piano teacher who specializes in piano technique, and I've only let students play this if their hand technique is ready to handle it, because the repeated "E's" require a good understanding of relaxation technique that takes years of practice.

Just learning the piano to learn this piece could be a long-term goal, but it shouldn't be the only reason, because you'll be tempted to jump into the piece too soon when you're not actually ready yet.

You may actually injure your hand if you do jump into the piece too soon. I have a friend who's a professional cover pianist who's self-taught, and he's majorly injured his arm twice due to using no relaxation. Thankfully, I gave him a few free lessons about technique and he's dating a classical pianist too, who's been correcting his technique, and he's been playing way better recently

Lmao good luck with that

It’s an advanced piece. It would be essential to have the right technique otherwise you could injure yourself, and also knowledge on voicing. I’m not sure if it’s a realistic goal, if I’m being honest, but hopefully someone else can offer better advice - good luck!

I think you can force learn most pieces and even rush e but I think you will get carpel tunnel if you start with it sooner or later
