Can I Really Learn Piano Fast?

By L. M. Ray

The most popular and useful instrument in the world is the piano. The appeal of the piano is worldwide as it attracts many people because of its adaptability to different forms of musical styles. People love to learn piano, but sometimes they are disappointed because it has so many confusing methods and styles of learning.

If you don't take a solid approach to learning, your chances of success are slim. One of the biggest mistakes that beginners make when trying to learn how to play, is putting the cart before the horse as new students want to sit down at the piano and play Mozart the first time out which isn't a realistic idea to have in your head. You will become discouraged and want to give up if you don't see immediate results.

A beginning piano student needs to prioritize by learning how to recognize notes and hand position. When you try to learn a new piece, start with a simple one to gain confidence. Later, after you learn how to read notes you can concentrate on fine tuning rhythm, technique, and musicality in your playing.

Beginning piano students should learn how to write some goals. Most students who begin need to set some realistic and achievable goals for themselves. If a person begins to do some organized goal setting, they will be able to become a good pianist.

Be clear with some goals. Do you want to be able to use both hands to play by a certain day? Just decide what it is that you want to get done and execute a step by step plan to get it done.

Set aside a certain amount of time every day to work towards your goal of building a foundation. Some beginning students want to find an easy way to get to be a good musician and pianist because practicing sounds too time consuming and boring. What they have to realize is that most excellent pianists have spent literally hours of practice perfecting their technique, sight reading, and musicianship.

You don't want to get burnt out by playing 16 hours per day, but you want to allow enough time to accomplish something because constant spaced repetition is critical to achieving your goals. If you need help, don't be ashamed to enlist the help of your teacher, as they have been through exactly what you're going through and can help. There's nothing that you can do that they haven't seen before as a teacher.

Maintain a positive attitude and stop being your worst critic. Keep in mind people have quit too soon because of a impatient and negative approach to learning a musical instrument that takes time to learn. Keep completing your assignments and ask your teacher or other friends that are good pianists for advice, and don't give up. - 20768
