Shared bodily motions between navigating the keyboard and fingerboard.
Both piano and violin playing requires good left- and right-hand coordination .We often marvel at prodigies who mastered the art of both violin and piano playing at a young age . Speaking from an ordinary person’s perspective, there are several transferable skills that make learning one instrument after mastering the other easier.
In this article, a snapshot of some transferable motor skills between the two instruments is presented. The list is not meant to be exhaustive. Other transferable skills between the two instruments include sight-reading, aural skills, improvisation, and musicality. Those skills are another day’s discussion.Finger dexterity is essential when playing fast passages on both piano and violin. It is therefore not surprising to see ample technique development books written on this topic.
In my personal experience, this skill is readily transferrable once a learner has developed finger dexterity on a primary instrument . In fact, some of the Schradieck and Schmidt exercises reflect on the same underlying principle: e.g., finger patterns involving fast alternations between various finger groupings; sustaining a single note with one of the fingers while playing alternating patterns with the remaining fingers.
Aligning or synchronizing the motions of the two hands is a corollary to hand independence. Once we can move both hands in contrary motions, play different rhythms, perform at different dynamic levels, accent different notes at different times, and execute different articulations , or swing left arm and right/bow arm in contrary motions and bow at a different speed from the tapping motion of the left hand , we can also perform pieces that require utmost alignment between the two hands.
