5 Action Tips to Improve Your Piano Playing

September 2nd, 2009

If you are a piano player and or looking for piano study tips to

improve your piano playing read these tips here below.

Are you playing the piano? It´s a great and rich instrument but

before you can really start playing the great masters or that

great jazz tune lots of practicing needs to be done… For this

article I want to mention 5 ways to improve your piano playing.

1. Find a Qualified Piano Teacher

Don´t fall into this trap from other people saying you don´t

need a piano teacher. I highly recommend you grab your local

paper or phone and find a qualified piano teacher. Why? Most

importantly, you will learn much faster and eventually play much

better then if you have to do this all by yourself.

2. Practice Regularly

Never practice when you are tired you cannot focus and

concentrate well enough to make good progress.

Practice Regularly Piano playing requires good coordination and

music reading skills. To get best results with your piano

playing practice daily for at least 20-30 minutes a day.

3. Set Realistic Goals

When studying your song, set realistic goals. Find a song that

is right, and fits your musical knowledge and skills. For

example if you are studying a Czerny etude make a goal to learn

a new page every day or even a few measures depending on your

level and skills.

4. Improve Your Sight Reading

If you have no trouble reading music notes you learn a new song

much faster. Keep working on your sight reading skills by making

it a routine to start your daily practice with playing a few

bars of a totally new piano piece.

5. Read Music literature of the Composer

When you are playing a Mozart sonate and you don´t know anything

about his life its more difficult to play with a good

“character”. Learn all about your favorite composer and try to

find a good approach to play his/her songs.

Take these few tips or read more on my website to to improve

your piano playing. Enjoy music!
