Even if you know all the fingerings and notes, even if you can read the music well, it won’t mean a thing. Practice is the essence of it all. You have to be committed in your practicing - if not everyday, then 5-6 days a week. Here are more tips:
1: Make a daily schedule for practice and comply with it. Be determined to stick to your schedule. It is a must to condition yourself into practicing everyday so that your body will get used to the routine. At first, it could be tedious and boring but as you go on learning the essentials, it becomes more fun hearing the way you play.
2: Your piano should be in a place that you won’t feel cluttered. The space should be free from anything that might distract you like a radio or anything noisy. This enables you to concentrate when practicing. Also, make sure that there is proper lighting where your piano is placed.
3: Always warm up. Exercise your fingers with some simple notes then proceed to the hard ones. An exercise must let your fingers stretch to reach some keys that are hard to reach. This will become helpful when playing fast paced notes and music.
4. Follow your instructor’s directions. Let them help you learn.
5. Make your practice as goal-oriented as possible. A goal will make you more focused and concentrated because you have something to be achieved. To finish a goal will make you feel satisfied and fulfilled.
6. Always maintain a positive attitude when practicing. When you plan to play the piano without anyone to guide you, do not give up when it becomes difficult. If you are being stressed, rest for a while. Give yourself time to breathe.
