To Learn Piano You Need To Learn How To Practice.
Trying to learn piano could be a bit disheartening if you focus on your playing for weeks on end only to discover that you don't appear to be getting anywhere. A lack of improvement is the single most common reason that folk quit learning to play the piano, this is above all true in youngsters. In order to improve at playing the piano here are a few ideas for your practice sessions.
Structure your practice sessions - Make a little routine for your practice sessions. This may be a bit different for every person based totally on the type of music they are learning and the style they are planning to play in.
The very first thing to do when you sit down to practice is to warm up. This may be done really effectively by playing scales and arpeggios which apart from warming up the fingers also serves in becoming comfortable at playing in all keys.
When you have done the warm-up you can then go on to playing your pieces. You may know where the difficult passages are in the pieces that you are learning. Go directly to these sections at the beginning of your practice sessions. Separate the hands and spend 1 or 2 seconds playing each hand on its own. First the right hand and then the other but do keep swapping over so as not to permit the other hand get cold. As quickly as you've done that for a bit you should then make an attempt to play the section with both hands together. Now you can go onto playing the whole piece and feel more comfortble when it comes to that tricky part you have just practiced.
Try to employ a metronome when you can, both for your scales and for any pieces that you're learning how to play too if they permit it. Initially set the metronome at a reduced velocity so that you can practice the piece more in the right way. Once you have the piece more or less under control then you can over a period of a couple of days begin to little by little notch up the speed until you are practicing the piece at its proper speed. You might even try setting the metronome at a faster tempo than needed solely to get your fingers really accustomed to the piece.
You want to learn how to relax at the same time as you are playing. Relax your fingers, your back and in fact your full posture. If you are tense while you play then you will find it much trickier to control your fingers and for your playing to flow. Doing this is a bit like learning how to ride a bike. In the beginning there are such a lot of things to remember and coordinate but at some specific point it all of a sudden clicks and it all slides into place.
