anthony c Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hi Forum. I'm Anthony C., a newbie to PWJ. About this morning's mail re: practice. I hope this helps. Quickly, my background is Classical Piano and other string instruments. I attended a Boutique Conservatory & have had private instruction in playing, theory, counterpoint etc.since my late teens. HOW DO I PRACTICE? For technique I suggest: HANON VIRTUOSO 60 EX.; & McCARREN AND BEHRINGER. Great for scales, M, m, diminished & arps of all kinds. Devote 15 minute a day to sight reading: You need to learn to read ahead. If you have questions on this contact me. At the end of the day I cross off all that I've completed and record the time I've spent and add up what I've done. And so it goes. * Really mportant: even if the day before you only work 30 min. you must include that work again the next day. I's how muscle memory works! I always try to complete the cycle I've laid out .I'm in my 18th yr. of study with a 40 yr. break in between for family & career. I started to work again 7 yrs ago. I'm still studying with a concert level pianist. About how I'm getting started in POP is for another time. HINT: IGNORE ALL UTUBE OR OTHER SITES WHICH PROMISE 30 MIN. MIRACLES OR OTHER UNREALISTIC ACHIEVMENTS. JONNY IS THE REAL THING. WHY? HE AHS A PLAN ; & HE HAS DEVELOPED THE CHOPS. DON'T GET ME WRONG. THERE ARE SOME GREAT TEACHERS& & TUTORIALS OUT THERE BUT YOU HAVE TO FERRET THEM OUT. YOU WILL KNOW THEM WHEN YOU FIND THEM! IF YOU HAVE THE PASSION, YOU WILL FIND THE STRENGTH & THE STRENGTH WILL BRING YOU AND OTHERS LOVE!! GOOD LUCK! PERSEVERE WHEN YOU'RE DOWN; IT'S WHAT MAKES YOU STRONGER! THANKS JONNY, STAFF & ALL FORUM MEMBERS & PERFORMERS ANTHONY C., mid-central Florida. email: anthony.comi@icloud.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
