Determining my progress
on: November 29, 2013, 08:07:43 AM
Hi everyone , so before 5 days mark my 3 months start. Since I dont have a teacher and right now can't get one , I'm not aware if my progress till now is sufficient for a 3 months beginner. That's why i compiled some snippets of pieces that I can play (not the whole piece though) and added them in a video , hoping you can help me criticizing and analyzing it ^_^ (I learned those using synthesia , but now am getting rid of this bad habit and am learning to read music).

Play with some emotion and get the notes right. To achieve this, follow the markings on your piece such as dynamics, etc.. You're doing really great for a beginner however. Especially a 3 month beginner.

I would learn some music theory, learn all the notes, all the chords, scales.  If you are still learning how to read sheet music, I would learn the treble cleff first and then the base cleff. I use to play trumpet in marching band so I learned the treble cleff first and then later learned base cleff. I would practice easy pieces such as jingle bells when I first started and then later I learned Solfeggietto by C.P.E. Bach which is not to hard.  I would never consider using synthesia to learn a piece but it can give you an idea of how it is played.  I usually watch synthesia just for fun.
