Fast Piano Runs: How I Trained My Hands for Speedy Gospel Piano Runs ????????

In this video, I break down how to develop speed and accuracy for scale runs using major scales, fingerings, rhythmic subdivisions (quarter notes, eighths, triplets, 16ths), and the 1-6-2-5 chord progression. I show you how to practice ascending and descending runs in all 12 keys, apply sustain pedal techniques, and build muscle memory through structured, tempo-based drills.
