another way of piano learning

[drazh]

hi everybody
I think our learning process is not optimal.
suppose that parents send their kids to learn piano.they expect the  teacher to do his job as soon as possible.so the only quick way for the teacher is practicing simple pieces repeatedly to satisfy parents and students but this may  not be the best way .maybe they should practice more on sight reading not memorization.
I read in abook a great pianist said "may be I can do this piace after 5 years of practice" .
I think it is too long
what do you think ?

I think you're getting repetitive.

The only way to learn to play piano is to play it.  Beginner students  must go through the process of learning the notes, etc, which has to be a part of "piano learning". Of course.  The sightreading and memorizing comes along in that process of "piano learning"  as well.

Also, to learn a piece, 5 years seems like a long time to me.  But mostly, for most students, it may take 3 to 6 months; it all depends upon the length and level of difficulty of the piece.  If a piece takes too long to learn, then go work on another piece.  I won't work on a piece for very long.

If we're talking about a great pianist here, and you want to know what I think, I think you are very stupid. The pianist could probably sight read the notes to the piece but he is more likely working on his interpretation of a piece, wich you can perfect for an infinity of time ... wasn't it Richter who waited even more than 5 years before playing chopin etude op.10 no.1 in concert? And we all agree that he could play it better than any of us here at sight ...

Yes,  Chopin's etude op.10 no. 1 can indeed take several years to learn.  I'm in the process of learning it; so I will probably work on this piece for the rest of my life....
and hopefully will achieve the benifit of its wonderfulness....a humbling experience to say the least!

  You know I honestly believe that if one is truly interested in learning the piano then much work needs to be done away from the piano. For instance the history of music, music theory, world music and composition. Really paino playing shouldn't be a pianful experience.

Actually, somewhat apropos of this thread, I heard a lovely quote yesterday (the subject was learning to sing but it applies equally to playing an instrument): 'The mind may be quick but the body is always stupid'.

i think it is need a long time to play a piece with best interpretation, not play the note only... i think we shouldn't study  that piece only, but another piece too. so while we're polishing one, we learn another.
