One huge benefit: The more you use our typing game, the faster you will be able to type as the typing test uses the top 200 words of each language. If you are able to type the most frequent words faster, you will be able to type everything else faster as well!
How fast are your thumbs? Our mobile typing app will let you know! No matter if you use your mobile phone or your tablet (iPad, etc.) the mobile test will surely suit your needs, good luck climbing the highscore list
The goal is be the first out of your partnership to state the sum of the fingers shown. So for the photo above, the sum would be 5. The first partner to say 5 (often they SHOUT 5!) wins a point. I ask them to keep playing until one of them reaches 10 points.
I've been playing lead for 7 months now and I've been trying to practice every excercise I could for fast fingers but in my head right now I feel like there just isn't any way to do it and the ones who can are gifted.
While typing English words without looking at the keyboard, you should try to type quickly, regardless of the time flowing by. Because to get to the top of the fastfingers ranking, you need to speed up! As one of the biggest gains of the test, you will have the opportunity to write fast, and you will be able to do plenty of practice for typing with 10 fingers.
You will gain the ability to write without looking at the keyboard, thanks to the test consisting of the most used words in English. In this way, you can continue to write without worrying if I have made a mistake while writing. You should know that typing with the keyboard will not be a problem for you after you have done the ten fast fingers test for a certain period of time. So start taking the test without wasting time and observe the change in writing more closely!
See how you're improving by multiplying our scores in our test, where you can get great results with your thumbs. Moreover, note the results you get and observe how there is a serious change between the beginner level and the last level! Reach quality with the 10 fingers English typing test we designed for you!
I had started playing flute about 15 years ago in middle school and piccolo about three years after I first started on flute. I developed Bell's Palsy at the end of my junior year in high school and struggled through my senior year. I became so frustrated that I sold both my flute and piccolo. I was doing more research on Bell's Palsy because I still only have about 10% control of the muscles in the right side. I have been working for 11 years to regain any control of my lips that I can without much progress. I came across a website for musicians that had dealt with Bell's Palsy and got some encouragement to try playing again. Some of the flautists said that playing had helped them regain control of their lips on the affected side. I bought a flute a few weeks ago and a piccolo last week. Since I have started playing the flute again I have been able to actually drink from a straw again, something that I have not done for the 11 years of exhausting muscle exercises and therapies recommended by doctors that weren't working. I am so excited. I was actually looking up fingering charts to refresh my memory when I came across your website and found some really great information that I wish my instructor in school had read. He taught the military-style flute positioning and also had us to sit on the very edge of our chairs, which increased the discomfort. He believed that sitting on the edge of the chair would improve posture, when really all it did was cause tired neck and back muscles. I really appreciate the information that you have shared and will be back quite often as I refresh myself on playing techniques and retraining my fingers. Thank you so much!

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for such detailed and helpful post! I've been playing the flute for five years and recently I was getting frustrated because it was so hard to make my fingers agile when playing fast notes. I'm really glad that I was finally able to find a post that I was looking for. :) thank you!

Did you learn how to play an instrument as a child? Were you older when you started playing the flute? There are many benefits of having music lessons in your lifetime, faster thinking, better discipline, are just a couple of music perks, and you may be surprised to hear that fast fingers are another benefit of playing the flute.
Interesting observation. I have used a keyboard to earn a living much of my life, as a computer teacher, translator and secretary.
My flute fingering is much slower than I would like, but I try to focus first on accuracy, then on speed, just like typing. Notes, or letters, will never be correct fast until we can get them right slow.
Thanks for the wonderful podcast series!
The benefits of guitar exercises like this are many, but the main focus is to get your fretting hand used to playing different orders of your fingers across the fretboard using a 3-note-per-string approach. This will build the muscle memory necessary for faster hands.
I've searched around but I haven't found an article that shows you how to practice to play faster. Now don't suggest to play it over and over again until you get faster, there have got to be a technique!
Also, I find that if I play each note w/ only one finger on the finger board, I can play faster but if I keep any fingers on the board, I have to struggle to keep it going (and I know this is bad). an example would be the running passage of Czardas (which is what I'm trying to learn)
1) The degre eof finger pressure varies according to the spee doyu arevplaying. So if you pracitce slowly with the finger pressure oyu would use at that speed then you are not pracitcng at all as you would play fast and are essentially wasitng time.
That is, plat the first note on a down bow. Repeat it on the up bow slurred ot the second. Repeat the second sluured to the third. Reapt the third slurred to the fourth and so on. Gte this faster and fatser with the metronome until you are off the scale. this tehcnique forces the left hand to change ahea dof the bow, or rather it ensure taht it is alread chnagedbefore the bow changes diretcion.
January 29, 2007 at 07:27 PM I once had someone tell me when you've got a passage and you have been working on it, and you can't get it faster, take (in this case) a bar or two and sing it at the speed you want (getting the closest approximation of pitches you can -- thinking each and every note, since you have been playing it). So, it would be like this:
For some reason, this often works. You have to do your homework ahead of time -- but I think the concept behind it is retraining your brain to think of it at full speed after all the slow practice. It gives you a chance to think the fingers without them slowing you down. I got the Barber 3rd movement up to a slow performance tempo this way after doing rhythms, just a couple of bars at a time.
January 29, 2007 at 08:46 PM When I'm trying to speed something up, the first thing I do is to isolate the left and right hands and try to see if there is something specific slowing me down -- so for example, if you have a fast sautille passage, you might try playing it legato at various speeds, with rhythms, etc to work out any left hand issues before you worry about the bow. You might also try executing the bowings you want on open strings or on a scale to see if there's a right hand problem.
Once the left and right hands are working okay separately, you need to put them together. For detached strokes, the rhythm comes from the bow, and so your left hand fingers have to be in place ahead of the bow strokes -- sometimes it helps me to think about the left hand having a rhythm that is slightly "on top of the beat" compared to the right hand. You can use almost anything as an etude for this -- Kreutzer 2 with bowing variations, or scales...
The thing that helps me the most in connecting slow practice to fast playing is to think about playing groups of notes rather than individual notes. Slow practice is great but if you're used to thinking about your notes one at a time, it doesn't transfer well to fast playing, because the notes go by too quickly.
January 30, 2007 at 03:18 AM A good way to learn to play passages faster (especially for fast 16th or 32nd passages) is to play them with different rhythms at a slower tempo. This will enable your fingers to "learn" the passage, and it will become more intuitive.
PS. Harmonic fingers (as if u were playing every note as a harmonic) will allow you to move your fingers much faster and will keep your left hand loose and free. they will often be all the pressure needed when playing such fast passages.
Try this.....tap all of your fingers up and down on the strings of your choice. Make sure that all fingers tap together. Feel the lightness that results from doing this quickly. When the fingers come off the fingerboard, they are reacting to your initial push. The closer the fingers to the violin, the faster you'll move them. Then, try each finger at a time.
One important thing: Playing quickly is not an excuse for forgetting slow practice. Before ANYTHING can be played quickly, it needs to be impeccable at a slower tempo. That being said, if you are practicing fast pieces slowly, you have to make your muscles act as if you were playing quickly. For instance, you wouldn't slam your fingers onto the fingerboard, when doing this, just as you wouldn't use more bow than necessary when going slowly.
