Exaggerate dynamics

When a piece has dynamics that you want to bring out and really accentuate, try exaggerating them.

Rather than playing piano and forte, play piano as pianississimo (ppp) and play forte as fortississimo (fff). Make them the extremes. Pull them up and down to make them more exaggerated.

You’ll play in a much larger dynamic range than before.

It’ll make them much more pronounced.

And it’ll help you practice playing with dynamics because you’re focusing specifically on them.
