Good evening, everybody! So I've been practicing and learning piano for a couple of months and it's all going pretty well. I really enjoy the instrument and I'm gonna stick with it.
I've been trying to get octaves down. I think I have the technique right, but I just wanna know if I need to keep doing them some more to pick up speed or if I need to improve my technique in some way. I also don't know whether or not to use my 4th finger for sharps.
My current technique is relaxing my wrist and keeping tension low. I have my forearm facilitate the movement further. I'm not using my forearm or wrist entirely, it's just a way of distributing power and movement between the two appendages.
I'd appreciate any kind of help. Thank you.
