3 Things Every Piano Player Should Do!
1.
Get help! You've probably heard the saying that no man is an island (John Donne).
That is very true to the piano.
You cannot do it alone.
If you try to do it on your own you may find that you will progress very slowly.
The bottom line is everybody needs help.
If you want to become the best you can be on the piano, you need to learn to take advice from others.
You may think you sound awesome but someone who is impartial may tell you it needs work.
It's all for your betterment.
Why not uses what others have already learn over the years to help you learn what and what not to do.
Doing this will help you advance quickly and your skills will reflect that you have knowledge from other sources.
2.
Try to find as much information on the piano as you can.
You want to get every piano book you can find.
You can never have too much knowledge (I think).
By doing this you will be able to understand everything as whole, more completely.
Even if you don't understand everything that you are reading, read the things you can understand and get help with things you can't.
Don't just learn music theory, although this is the main thing you want learn.
Also read about the history of the piano.
Watch video's on YouTube or another video about people playing the piano.
Learn about some people who have made their mark playing piano (you may want to try to copy some nuances of their styles).
3.
Don't be afraid to copy other people.
This is the one time that it's OK to "cheat".
No two people think exactly the same.
It is alright to borrow things that other people do on the piano and make them your own.
Someone who you think is a great piano, you may want to take a way that piano player play a series of chords and learn it.
Then after you have it down you can alter those chords however you like and create an entirely new series of chords.
If you want to be good, copy the good people.
They obviously have found something that works for them.
Although everything that works for one person may not work for another person, many things can be learned just by mimicking the things that your favorite piano players play.
