[marikah]

Hi, does someone here know the perfect way to improve ones piano skills? Like a list of things to practice etc. that makes you better?
It may sound like a stupid q, but its interesting if someone has a great way to practice and get better.
Thanks!

First you should get the perfect teacher for you

Just play scales.  Scales scales scales scales scales scales, major minor and chromatic, in contrary motion, and in 3rds and 6ths.  Then work on arpeggios, and octaves, and then work on hannons.  The first hour of your practice should just be working on these exercises.  Start slow and work on perfect technique.  once you can do it slow speed will come gradually. 


also play a lot of Bach.

That's the best advice 

Also are very good to improve technique the technical exercises (Donhanyi, Brahms, maybe my favourites, Liszt exercises, not to be mistaken with the etudes, Pischna and so on. I don't like Hanon at all, I know it's a controversial point). But if you do this exercises do them under the supervision of a good teacher and been very concentrated avoiding tension and pain. Of course, when the slightest pain appears, STOP and think what failed to tense your muscles and articulations.

You can also try Cramer etudes and Clementi gradus. They were very useful in the task of creating the great virtuosisim of Chopin 

I forgot it: Bach inventions and preludes are marvellous to improve (and enjoy) everything.

If there is a perfect way, then we wouldn't be sitting here, would we?

Maybe won't improve your skills, but investing in a pianola might impress your neighbours

Practice. It's as simple as that.
