Playing piano cannot be circumscribed with time because it
is a life-long process. I believe allocating time to your goal of mastering the
piano can help you get the most out of your natural abilities even in
unfavorable conditions. Experience shows that lots people want to play the
piano, but they believe it is difficult and takes a long time.
This is for you if you ever said to yourself I want to play
piano but:
- I don't have enough time.
- I have only one month holidays.
- I don't have money.
- I only want to play my favorite song.
Now is the time to show yourself and your loved ones exactly
who you are when you sit at the piano; because if you are a beginner, this is
what you will do to become a pianist in 30 days. The strategy involves three
stages you can use easily.
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Mastery
This strategy can work for anybody, anywhere, anytime, and
at any budget.
Here is exactly how it works:
1- Knowledge: First 10 days
Taking advantage of the Internet, you can search for
free-piano-information, cheap programs, books, and videos. Learn some basics of
chords, techniques and some tricks to play piano faster.
Look for technical procedures in scales, fingering and then
move quickly to study key notation. You can then familiarize yourself with a
keyboard diagram and spend most of your time studying chords structure.
This is important because pianists use chords to play the
piano much the same way painters use a palette of colors to paint a picture.
Write down, at list, 3 of your favorite songs. Sing them
repeatedly till you can memorize them.
2- Experience: For the next 10 days
Start to practice piano chords on the keyboard, get the feel
of them, and how to use them. You will start to love dancing your finger on the
keyboard. Work on chords till you can instantly recognize them when someone is
playing a song. Focus on playing the melody, one note at a time with the right
hand and playing basic chords with the left hand.
If you understand why pianists play chords at any point in a
song, you will be able to learn songs faster and easier. Can you imagine how
that will make you play the piano easier?
YouTube Piano Videos
Go to You Tube to find videos that play your favorite songs.
If you get one with a tutorial, jump on it. Play along with it till you can do
it without the video.
Even if there are no tutorials for your songs, you can still
use any video that play your song, and apply lettering-of-keys techniques to
it. Just make efforts to know exactly-- what keys they are playing on video,
and then labeling them on the keyboard with sticky notes using letters like
(a.b.c). Make sure that you master the labels well and can even play them with
your eyes closed.
All what you will do is play the video, slow it down when
you are not clear, and pause it to take note of what key they are pressing. You
will then apply it on your keyboard. The more you do it the faster you become.
You will continue doing that till you can play all your
favorite songs on the keyboard.
3- Mastering: The last 10 days
Think like a professional; try to improvise.
The most valuable skill in playing piano is to free your
inner music by creating your own music. Note reading will come easily after
that.
Here is a way to go about it: Take all what you have learned
and apply them in a variety of situations in any related music.
By using the knowledge, you will be able to assimilate new
ideas easily to play piano quickly; not because of the knowledge alone, but
because of the experience you have in practicing with the materials.
By the end of the 30 days, you will be able to play piano
for your family and friends. You can talk to any piano genius on any subject on
the piano. Now you can or suppose you could... what would your life look like
after 30 days.
Sure, you are getting excited about this strategy now, but
what you are going to find after applying it for 30 days is that; you will be
jumping for joy. That's just the beginning.
Your experience in 30 days will inspire you to keep on
challenging yourself to learn more piano techniques and theories.
You will also come to understand this number one secret to
mastering the piano: "Playing the piano is a process and not and end goal
-you're always becoming more."
Your life will never be the same again because you can now
connect to a better future: Mastering the piano music.
