learning subconsciously works for me!
on: October 31, 2005, 01:39:28 PM
When i practice the piano, i practice subconsicously. I keep hearing the same remarks over and over in the forum about people saying that you must always remain focus. I disagree.
When i learn a piece, i isolate all the technical parts. I work on technical difficulties with hands separate. Aim is to investigate fingering/movement that feels awkward fingerings/impossible movements, lack of tone/volume control, rhythm inaccuracies and coordination.
Playing fast at this stage is essential. Once it is inputted into my hand muscles i practise by repeating the passage as many times until they feel fatigue then repeat it later. Use of different rhythm is important and mix the notes around abit and branch off new techniques. I used this method to learn pathetique mvt 1 and i finished it in 5 weeks
. Perfected.
I use the mute pedal when i do practice this. While practicing i like to listen to my mp3 and do my homework which goes for about 2-3 hours
. After the technical part is mastered i spend about 20 mins playing though the piece, articulation, phrasing and musicality.
Any disagreements ? Is this method bad? Its all subconciously practicing.
