Different piano practice methods will directly affect the effect of piano practice. A good method will naturally allow people to quickly improve their piano skills, while an incorrect method will hinder the learning of piano music.

Good piano practice methods are often the result of rational thinking, while beginners practice the piano blindly or take it for granted, just relying on feeling, no system, and no pertinence, resulting in slow progress in learning the piano. It will even develop many bad habits and waste precious time and energy. What do you need to pay attention to when practicing the piano?

1. Develop the habit of memorizing and practicing the piano

Practicing the piano is to train the brain to control the opponent. The first thing to do is to record the music in the brain, and then to command the movement of the fingers, so memorization is necessary.

When many piano players practice the piano in the early stage, they often read a simple word and play a sound. From the perspective of memory, this method is passive memory, and the efficiency is very low. From a technical point of view, when practicing the piano, the focus is mostly on finding strings and reading scores, which is not conducive to the experience of technical essentials (strength, touch strings, hand shape, etc.).

Many beginners often have a fear of memorizing notation. In fact, this is a necessary ability to learn the piano, and it is not that difficult. You can memorize sentence by sentence first, and then combine it slowly. Over time, a habit will form naturally.

2. Finger split practice

For those who have just come into contact with the guqin, don't rush to learn any tunes, but practice basic fingering and hand shapes according to the teacher's requirements.

The best way to do this kind of exercise is to practice with the left and right hands separately. First of all, the right hand should be rubbed, picked, hooked, tickled, hit, picked, held, and chopped well. When practicing, keep your eyes on the right hand, keep your hand shape, and listen carefully to you. Whether the sound of the piano can get the best vibration, the noise should be as little as possible, and the speed should not be too fast.

After the right hand is proficient, add the left hand practice. At this time, the eyes must be fixed on the position of the left hand, and the right hand should be seen as little as possible. Only when both hands are able to perform pressing and pan exercises can be learned.

Although this kind of finger-splitting practice will take some time first, but after you learn the tune, the speed and efficiency will be much higher, and there will be no sequelae of many bad movements.

3. Don’t repeat the wrong practice

When practicing the piano, all movements must be analyzed and filtered by the brain before they can be performed; that is to say, each fingering is guaranteed to be played under the premise of accuracy. In this way, repeating the correct actions over and over again will quickly form a finger memory. Once you are proficient, it will be difficult to make mistakes.

And many beginners are most likely to make mistakes in this regard. Many notes are played out by hand, some fingers are not pressed correctly, some strings are not pressed correctly, some score is wrong, and some are played before the hand shape is set. wait.

The result is repeated mistakes, which form many false signals in the brain, which sometimes interfere with the smooth completion of a piece of music. Encounter a slightly more difficult paragraph, more likely to cause jams.

4. Targeted focused exercises

When beginners practice the piano, they must first grasp the key points and practice, rather than general practice. For the areas where you feel difficult and the skills are difficult, you must take them out to practice alone and practice repeatedly until you are familiar with them.

You also need to practice according to your own weaknesses. For example, if you are clumsy, you should practice it alone; if your rhythm is poor, you should strengthen your rhythm practice; if you don’t press the strings properly, you need to specialize in pressing the strings and slow down. Speed, you can only speed up when you are proficient and accurate.

5. Segmented exercises

Some beginners practice the music, starting from the beginning to the end of the practice again and again, this practice is not conducive to memory. It should be practiced in sections, and after you have mastered each section, you can finally connect them all together for an overall practice.

The segmented practice starts with sentence practice. This method of practicing the piano is actually similar to literacy. First practice a single character, then practice phrases, and then practice sentence making, and the last paragraphs of text form an article. Pay attention to every detail, in order to grasp the macroscopic picture as a whole.

6. Use your brain to practice the piano

Many beginners don't use their brains before practicing the piano, and they don't like to use their brains very much when practicing the piano. They just practice with their hands as a routine. The result of this is that the piano practice is not attentive and the efficiency is low.

If you really want to practice the piano well, you must first think about what to practice this time and what is the key point before practicing the piano. When practicing the piano, the brain must be highly concentrated, so that the hands and the brain are in harmony, so as to find out the problems in oneself in time.

To have a general plan for practicing the piano, make a rough piano training plan according to the homework assigned by the teacher or the progress arranged by yourself, break down a large goal into small goals, and finish the practice within the specified time.

For example, a new song can be mastered one sentence or one paragraph a day, which is easier to complete. Once you develop a habit of practicing piano with a clear direction and quantitative goals, it will greatly improve the efficiency and quality of piano practice.

7. Down to earth, step by step

Beginners must not be too ambitious. If you want to learn a big piece before you have learned two small pieces, this will only damage your fingers and confidence. Moreover, some small pieces are not less artistically valuable than some large pieces, and they are still refreshing when played well.

Technically speaking, Guqin is not difficult to learn, even easier than Erhu and Pipa. As long as you practice systematically, you can solve technical problems in three to five years. Therefore, we must start from easy to difficult, and practice step by step, and then it will naturally come naturally.

8. Listen to the piano a lot

If a piano player wants to improve his art faster, it is necessary to listen to the sound of the master. Listening to the piano is actually a kind of piano practice, or ear training, mind training, which is a kind of musical training.

Don't just listen to what you like, but listen more to the music recommended by the older generation of pianists or teachers. In this way, you can improve your music appreciation as soon as possible, and make your piano skills get more room for improvement. Don't become a violinist with high hands and low eyes.
