March 18, 2021 No matter how much time you spend practicing, you want to make sure that every minute of it counts toward furthering your ability to play the songs you’re learning, and your overall skill on the piano.
It’s better to put in half an hour of very productive practice than an hour of unstructured meandering. Here are some tips to get as much out of your practice time as possible.
November 11, 2020 When you were 6, 7, or 8 or a little older, your parent(s) wanted you to learn piano. You tried for one year or maybe two or three and found it so boring or so difficult or such a low priority on a kid’s scale of importance. You wanted to play outside – not sit on a piano bench playing stupid songs.
Well, now you are 20, 30, 40, or maybe 70 or somewhere in-between, and guess what? You want to play the piano again. You berate yourself, “Why didn’t my parents force me to keep taking lessons?” Then, you announce to yourself and/or to your family, “I am going to learn piano if that is the last thing I do!” What should you do next?
