Need Advice!!!
on: June 15, 2011, 05:43:11 AM
I am somewhat of a beginner. I have never taken a piano lesson a day in my life, but I love to play. I have taught myself how to play just by looking at sheet music. Any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. :-\

1, Get better technique
2, Get better musical understanding
3, Become a better sight reader


All 3 will be much easier if you get yourself a teacher.

1, Get better technique by practicing more scales, Hanon, Schmitt, etc.
2, Get better musical understanding by watching other pianists play, seeing how they interpret the song
3, Become a better sight reader By training loads of time, from easy to hard pieces


All 3 will be much easier if you get yourself a teacher.

Just an addition, hope you liked it.

If you don't want, or can't afford lessons, 2, and 3, will be easier if you join a choir.
