Advancing From Basic Level Piano
It can be very frustrating when you are beginning to teach yourself any instrument to advance onto intermediate levels of playing. This is especially true with the piano as the learning curve can be pretty steep even for the most musically gifted individuals. To essentially feel confident as to where to put each of your ten fingers and to unite both hands together in a natural way can take years to acquire. In order to make this phase between beginners and intermediate level a little more comfortable here are a few pointers. See the How to learn piano website for more information and help on learning piano along with a number of interesting evaluations on home study courses and a free chord-sheet and beginners guide to piano playing
Setting up a rigorous practice plan and sticking to it is one of the most essential things you can do .Daily practice periods are essential and on the days when you feel you don’t have sufficient time you should try to think about at least sitting at the piano for a couple of minutes so as to keep your fingers flexible and not let them seize up. If you go for some time without apparently making any progress then it is at these times that you have to ensure that you persist and not quit. Your advancement will now and then appear to be very slow but rest assured that you will be developing and one day it will all start to come together. Bear with it and carry on, it will without doubt be worth it in the end. The key is determination and daily frequent practice.
It is not sufficient to just sit down and play what ever you want whenever you want in your practice sessions. It will be a lot more constructive if you can organize your practice sessions a little.
You might want to learn all of your scales. You will find that even though this can be quite a drag, that once you get these learned then your playing will become a great deal easier. For persons who are learning to read music you will have to to learn all of the major and minor scales to start with. If you are learning to play by ear or by using chord charts then it would still be sensible to learn the scales and additionally to learn the jazz and blues pentatonic scales and modal scales also. For improvisation there is nothing better. You might also take a look at the following site for additional information on learning piano in the home: How to play piano
Practicing your scales should take up a good part of your practice time. Following this you can then go onto playing your pieces. Don’t just play them through from the start until the end repeatedly. This is not very constructive. Get directly to the difficult parts and spend time going over what you have problems with. Play the hard bits slowly, with separate hands initially…and once mastered you then move onto another tricky passage. When you have done this for some time, you can then move onto playing the piece through from beginning to end a few times over.
Attempt to keep your learning repertoire down to just a few pieces at a time. You will be able to perfect your pieces a lot easier if you do not have your energy dispersed over many of them.
Use a metronome when you are playing. This is important to get your timing correct. You can use the metronome for your scales just as you can for your pieces. Stay in control and lower the tempo when you are practicing so that you can play correctly. You can start to step up the speed little by little over a few days of your pieces and your scales once you are sure of them. You also might want to try a few moments of playing at a much faster tempo than required and then slowing back down to a normal speed. Once you return to the usual speed you will be astonished at how effortless it seems to play.
Playing along with others is really good practice and you should try to do this at any time you can. Even if you can ‘t get together with other people then you can always play along to your music collection. Even if you don’t have the sheet music it is always good practice for the ear.
Finally, now and again it is a good idea to let go, put on your best pianist face and simply fake that you know how to play and that you are very versatile. Sit back and play along or improvise with others. {You will without doubt make blunders but this does not matter.It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes (you will)}. The aim of this exercise is to let you know what it would be like to be an accomplished pianist and play with confidence. The results of this silly little experiment will undoubtedly surprise you.

It is my wish that these simple suggestions and hints will help you to persist in the moment that you consider giving up in the difficult transition that is between beginners piano and intermediate level piano.
