Hi to All,
As a very mature aged beginner, the Piano certainly has its frustrating limitations.
I am (learning) two beginner modified pieces, without success. I recall being advised to learn the Melody then the Harmony, with luck, God may smile upon your endeavours ……no so.
I just can not put the two together, although separately they are quite reasonable.
I have restarted learning each Treble and Base clef bars, a few at a time, with better results.
Perhaps the short answer is, we all learn differently, and for me at this time that appears to be the most effective. Although in the long term ( wishful thinking ) it may prove detrimental.
From the members experience has learning separately or M and H together proved more successful ?
My sight reading is near non existent, although I realise it’s importance. I tend to initially read then muscle memory takes over with very limited visuals of the score.
The enjoyment far surpasses the constant frustration, but becoming aware of different / better approaches would always be welcomed.
Thank you for your replies, in advance
John
