The Secret Of Piano Mastery
Mastery of the piano is a long and difficult journey. There are some secrets though that can ease the frustration. It has been said that the sport of golf is frustrating even with the best golf instruction book in the world. The seemingly simple act of hitting a white ball should not present very many problems. You would think pressing down the black and white keys of the piano would be simple with all the many method books on the market. However, practicing exercises and boring pieces will hinder your journey towards mastering the piano.
Music from the piano is not made from hitting the keys with your fingers. Music is made from a series of smooth complex movements whose energy comes from the torso and through the arms and into the fingers. These movements have a rhythm and a drive that are necessary for beautiful music.
This rhythmic principle of energy channeling will produce sounds as soft as a pin drop to as loud as thunder. So loud and powerful that your audience will wear a black helmet to protect their hearing. You can recognize finger centered piano playing. It lacks the clarity of tone and expressive nature of piano playing produced by the whole body.
The method of many teachers of making students learn pieces at very slow tempo is unproductive. Not that you should play so fast that you need a digital sport watch to time it but pieces should be practice at real tempos. The same is true of practicing the right and left hand parts alone. You should always both hands together. The coordination of the two hands is what must be learned. Practicing one hand alone is a waste of time. It is the same with practicing at slow tempos. The physical coordination at the proper tempo is different than a slow tempo. Practicing at a slow tempo is a waste of time.
There are many real pieces of serious music that are not difficult. The Clementi sonatinas are beautiful gems that can be played by the beginning student. Bach has many pieces that are suitable for beginners. Other composer with beautiful music for beginning piano students are Bartok and Kabalevsky.
Practicing arpeggios and scales and playing boring uninteresting exercise will make the piano student lose interests. On the other hand, by studying the actual repertoire will maintain the student’s interest. The student can listen to the greatest pianist play these pieces so they hear how they should sound like. It will inspire the piano student.
Fine piano playing is produced by the rhythmic movements of the whole body. It does not come from wiggling your fingers. You do not become a good piano player by practicing scales and exercise. You become a piano player by playing real music.
