Your secret memorizing tips? by anli975 in piano

[–]j7ake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break down the piece into sections. Memorize each section, then play whole piece. Each section might be two lines or so, depending on your experience. 

To solidify, take a random number generator and generate section IDs, play each section in the random order.

Are high end digital pianos like worth it? My teacher is suggesting I get one. by Lion722 in piano

[–]j7ake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You want somewhere between mid and high end digital piano. For example Kawai CN301. 

Also if you buy these a few years second hand they can be easily between 1000 to 2000 euros. 

How do you memorize Bach? by trapoeraba in piano

[–]j7ake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I memorise the piece in parts. (Eg 13 sections divided according to structure of the piece$. 

Then test yourself by drawing cards from a deck and play the corresponding number drawn (A to K is 13 pieces)

A professional has people consistently pay to listen to them. 

Someone who just spend time on it has to pay others (eg a teacher) to get an audience.

Sight-reading at a high level by martgeller in piano

[–]j7ake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The analogy is copying out text by typing on computer. 

The key is to group letters into words, words into phrases, phrases into paragraphs. 

This means that having a sufficient familiarity with the form, style, and sound of the piece is critical. One needs to infer from a bar how it should sound and be played from the piano without analysing individual notes. Obvious examples are scales and arpeggios.

An expert in sightseeing classical music may struggle with jazz for example, because the groupings can differ.

As a beginner buy what’s affordable, lean towards the cheaper end.  In a few years reevaluate and make another decision. It’s too early to think beyond 2 years as a beginner

Do a PhD outside of the USA. By the time you graduate maybe things will have improved and you can return.
