I've tried to get piano lessons but they're a touch expensive and I don't really have a good schedual to work it out. I have a keyboard at home and a Piano For Dummies book but I don't think its is something you teach yourself per se.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
YOu can first check the style and the key the piece is in and using scales that will suit the piece first then later on you can develop your own improvisation. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Of course it is very valuable to get a teacher to work through other factors than theory such as technique, interpretation etc. Most amazing jew boots |
is there any easy way that i can make my playing sound more legato and flowing? and is there any way to improve the speed of my fingers easily? i'm trying to play 'can't say goodbye to yesterday'
i posted the sheet music on this thread if you would like to see what i'm so stuck with: http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/au...criptions.html This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Are there any pieces that you have memorized, haven't played for awhile, and find yourself having to re-learn the entire piece again?
Wait, in addition to that, is memorizing a piece even necessary? I've been asked by instructors to do this come recitals. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
@Kazyl:
1. Yes, many chopin pieces completely fall out of my hands after a few years without touching them; although I find it alot easier to pick it up (re learning) after a few good slow reads and your hand jumps back into the grove. 2. Recital wize it dosn't really matter weither you memorize or not however it always looks more proffessional with it memorized. Some people find sheet music infront of them as disstracting but others find it as a "security blanket" so that really depends how you're comfortable with it. =========================== @ evil_mercenary All I have to say is try to get the sustain pedal to work for you for more of a legato sound and because of some of the runs on the left hand, perhaps it might be more adquate to try half pedaling it instead here and there to try to link up some of the gaps. But other than that it's just a matter of practicing close to the keyboard and figuring if there's a better figuring (ie. instead of lifing fingers to change hand positions, you might like to hold the key and transition your hand position if there's enough time and then carry on) =========================== Most amazing jew boots

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/mu...ng-thread.html Also check out - http://www.musictheory.net/ If you are looking to purchase a book that will give you a good start to music theory : http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/018427/details.html After going through the book from the link above you will already be well equipped to learn piano. Even after going through the first few chapters (which aren't that long) you will have learn the basics. I don't like the Associated Board books that make you buy many books just to learn a few basics. FELIPE NO |

Seriously, you will have no difficulty getting through this book fairly quickly. You also fill out small exercises as you go through to make sure that you've got the grasp of each section. You can check your answers are correct in the back pages as well. Hope this helps. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I've been having trouble playing parts of songs where the left hand will play a basic eighth note melody while the right hand will play triplets.
I can almost accomplish playing these parts except my left hand will not play the eighth notes flowingly. Instead they're very jumpy, due to my right hand playing the triplets. I know if I keep at it i'll probably get the swing of it, but I was wondering if anyone knew a piece or had some advice that could make mastering these parts quicker and/or easier for me. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
In cases of off-set timeing on both hands, I ususaly do pattern practice with the left hand meaning I staggard in patterns such as long-short-short or short-long-long type of patterns because that helps out a better control of having your eigths 'flow'. But as of two hands, all I can say is just to practice very well on your left hand so when you go to play with both hands, you can go to "auto-pilot" with your left hand and it would only be a matter of fitting your right hand into time. And if all due fails, i can't have much to recomend other than just practice it out slowly until it comes second nature (hahahaha.... for all us piano geeks out there )

Thanks alot for the advice Luckee Cookie.
I'm sure i'll get this off-set timing soon enough . I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
