Having Fun vs. Practicing Keyboard?

Having Fun vs. Practicing Keyboard?

There are places in every skill-learning endeavor
where it gets un-fun. You’re moving along, making
great progress… then it all slows down into a ‘plateau’
where you don’t seem to move at all.
Sometimes (hopefully not often), you will even ‘hit a
wall’ that makes you want to just give up.

Those are the times that try people’s souls.

So it’s good to remind yourself that it’s NOT a case
of either/or…as in, “either I can have fun, or I can
‘do my lesson.’”

I think it’s helpful to think of it as breathing in, then
breathing out. You must find time to do both!

KEEP GOING, IT’S WORKING!

When you get discouraged, I have some hints to help you
keep going:

1) Take Breaks–every 20-25 minutes when learning and
practicing. There are physical limits (for your hands
and your bottom!) and mental limits (concentration is
meant to go in spurts.) Just get up and stretch or
jog in place for a minute or two every so often.

2) Relax–When you touch the keys, do so gently…in a
relaxed way. If you find your fingers stiff and rigid
(and you will), stop and squeeze your hands together,
then let them go limp, hanging your arms at your side.
Repeat this a few times until they are relaxed.

3) Have FUN–Musical fun…play a little by ear
if you can. If you know a song (that you don’t have to
read music to play), take a break from your ‘lesson’ and
play it. It will give your brain a nice reset and
remind you that this is music…not some accounting
spreadsheet.

If you’ve never played anything by ear, stay tuned…I’ll
teach you a little about that in a future email.

Hint: It starts with learning a simple melody…then
you build on it.

Timing on the Keyboard is Everything

Timing on the Keyboard is Everything!

Inside your head is a clock. I don’t mean the one that
makes you wake up at the same time every day. I mean
there’s a clock that can keep a steady beat.

The problem is that you may not have practiced letting it
command your hands so that THEY keep a steady beat.

In music, there is a beat or rhythm that keeps going
through a song. When you’re playing with other musicians,
it’s crucial that you all play to the same beat in order for
the music to sound ‘tight’ and intentional.
And normally, that takes some intentional practice.

The best way to do that is by listening to a steady beat
from outside your head. Fortunately, you aren’t the
first musician to have this need. That’s why someone
invented a neat little device called a ‘metronome.’

It’s a little box that clicks out a certain number of “beats-
per-minute” (you get to set that number at any speed you
like.) You can then begin playing your scales, or songs,
or exercises to that steady beat. It’s great training.
It begins to establish a good connection between the
‘clock in your head’ and your hands. Nothing will help
“tighten” your playing like drilling with a metronome.
