Tips That Can Make Your Piano Practice a
Success
Whether you are learning to play the piano
or any other skill that requires hours of practice, odds
are you know full well that you need to keep up with your
practice in order to strengthen the skill you are trying
so hard to obtain. While you could always resort to
fitting in your piano practice when you have the time, you
really need to utilise a piano practice routine that will
make sure you always have the time in your day to practice
the piano no matter what life may throw at you.
In order to
be successful, you need to set aside a particular time on
your schedule each and every day for your piano practice
routine. You may also want to break your piano practice
into specific elements, such as warm-up exercises, as
well as variable ones that can chance as your skills
improve. Just remember that performing does not actually
count as practice. While playing gigs or performing in
Church or even for your personal enjoyment is considered
part of your musical development, it should not be used
as an excuse to replace your pre-scheduled piano practice
routine.
While you may be able to stick
with your piano practice routine 99% of the time, there will be
times where life or other outside influences may prevent you
from being able to practice the piano when you normally do.
Although some distractions may only last a matter of hours or
even a day, there may be other times that you will not be able
to follow a normal piano practice routine for weeks if not
months at a time. While you may be feeling like all may be
lost, that you cannot possibly meet your piano playing goals
simply because an equally important project got in the way, you
may find yourself considering giving up on your goals. But
should you? Here are some simple tips that can help you stick
with your piano practice no matter how hectic life and your
schedule may get.

First, utilise the free time that
is given you to practice the piano. While you may currently
have two or maybe even three hours allocated in your schedule
for piano practice two to three times a week, there may be
times when that amount of time may not even be
available. While life may
not provide you with all the time you may need, it will still
provide you with some amount of free time that can be used for
piano practice if you choose to use it to your advantage. Since
the amount of time you have been given is much less than you
are used to, you will want to use it to practice something that
is not currently in your arsenal. It could be a scale, a lick,
a section of a tune, a set of chord voicings, or even a
transcribed solo, anything that gets you playing during the
time you have been allotted. Just make sure the item you choose
to practice is small. This way you have a great chance of
getting a handle on the task in a short amount of time,
allowing you to move onto something else the next time you have
a chance to practice the piano.
Lastly, take a “What can improve
my musicianship” approach to your practice time. While you may
not have been given the amount of time you would normally use
for your piano practice, you will still want to make sure you
use that time to your advantage no matter how small. If you
approach your piano practice with a goal of learning something
new, no matter how small, in that short period of time, you
will end up being successful with your piano practice. Its best
to attack small tasks when you are short on time, that way you
increase your chance of increasing your piano playing skills
even when you are strapped for time.
These are just a few simple tips
that can help you achieve piano practice success even when you
are short on time. Make sure to utilise any free time that is
given to you as piano practice time, and take a “What can
improve my skills” approach to this time, and you are sure to
achieve piano practicing success no matter what challenges life
may throw at you.
