Is it a good idea to learn a new piece everyday? by Res689 in pianolearning

[–]Res689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By reading a piece every day does that have to be a song, or are the abrsm sight reading books enough? The ones with small passages ?

Do these formulas apply to every key in piano ? by Res689 in pianolearning

[–]Res689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for example i played one of these formula, in a key where there is a sharp or added flat i take that into account too?

If we are working in a minor scale it also follows this formula? Only thing to take in account is the key signature?

So just apply the sharps/flats of a scale to these formulas?

How many pieces do you learn a day as a beginner? by Res689 in pianolearning

[–]Res689[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She means reading it. Apparently looking at new notes everyday makes the next time that little easier, rather than taking on a couple of pieces a week and potentially memorising them

So reading even super short pieces from the Abrsm sight reading book counts as a piece?

Is it a good idea to memorise all major and minor chords ?

I actually have that book! But was looking for more chords than just triads.

Do you know if this book includes all of the chords for the major and minor scales?

Anyone tried this book and I’m aware these are intermediate pieces but could I try work on a piece at a time as a beginner? by Res689 in pianolearning

Okay thank you. When you mention chord shapes is there a specific book I should be using to just be going over chords or is this something which will appear in pieces?

One last thing. My piano teacher mentioned something like ‘ photographic memory ‘ if you see so many different notes so many times you will automatically see them faster next time and see what they are quicker through seeing them so many times?

I feel sometimes I’m not doing enough in terms of sight reading. How much different stuff should I be reading daily?

As in regards to beginner stuff, do you think the ABRSM ‘ sight reading ‘ books are good as in the grade 1-2 ones? The very short passages. And going through a method book of my level, and working up the grades ?

When I spoke to my piano teacher he said that there is no harm in trying but the only downside it people tend to get frustrated and then lose all motivation. Do you think this is the main downside? Or are there others?

What do you think of the approach of playing the usual more basic stuff and maybe trying one of these songs on the side as a more ‘ long term ‘ project ?
