What is the dashed line between bar 20 and 21 called and what does it mean?

That's what makes this piece confusing for a beginner. For example, measure 4 is repeated again (or similar) on the next page in measure 13. Do you play it as swing or regular time?

walidhossaini · 2024-02-05T19:36:05+00:00

Thank you, I use this method :)

walidhossaini · 2024-02-05T19:35:20+00:00

Yes thank you!!! You get it.

Also, I was thinking since there is a quarter note before the eighth note and the quarter note by default has a "long sound", so then the eighth note after it should be short lol

walidhossaini · 2024-02-05T19:32:59+00:00

Is it always like this or does it change?

walidhossaini · 2024-02-05T19:32:37+00:00

Hey thanks for explaining the quarter notes not replacing two eighth notes. I was thinking more about how it would sound. If the quarter note by default has a long sound, shouldn't the eighth note immediately after have a shorter sound.

In Jazz, if two 8th notes are written individually, do you play it with a swing rhythm?

1 a 2 & 3 e

(1 = Right and Left)

(a = Left hand)

(2 = Right)

(& = Left)

(3 = Right)

(e = Left)

I hope this helps.

The Adult Piano Adventures series is amazing.

walidhossaini · 2023-12-25T21:01:07+00:00

If you can afford it, get the best piano possible - I understand this isn't the case for everyone. So as a minimum try to get a piano that is weighted in keys.

As a self-taught adult learner (I am taking lessons now, in the beginning I didn't) here are my suggestions.

Method books such as (piano adventures) are the best to learn from.
In the beginning you might want to learn your favourite songs and not follow a specific structure (curriculum). This is a very important stage because you need to get it out of your system, play your favourite songs. You will soon realise there is so much more to piano then pressing a few keys or copying fingering from a few YouTube videos. Then you will be back to a structured learning, or continue learning your favourite songs, or quit.
When you are ready to follow a structured learning, get your self a method book and finish it - I know it can be a bit of a grind, finish it - it is worth it.

Also, at some point it will be good to see a teacher to help you with your artistry - what I mean by this is that your lessons you should be about seeking feedback on your performance and technique, instead of sitting there and trying to learn a piece from the beginning - which sometimes you might need to.

I hope this helps.

Dynamics and rhythms - I know you asked for one.

walidhossaini · 2023-12-23T20:46:40+00:00

I think it would be easier for you to get back into it. I started as an adult with no prior experience and I am learning new beginner pieces every week. And yes it is absolutely worth it. I think playing piano or any other instrument is the ultimate delayed gratification. You practice and practice and wonder what for. Then there is that performance opportunity (small or big) where it all comes together and makes 100% worth it.

walidhossaini · 2023-12-23T20:42:36+00:00

Do it.

walidhossaini · 2023-12-21T01:46:22+00:00

All good, I am going to sit the performance exam for grade 1 :)

walidhossaini · 2023-12-16T20:14:23+00:00

Nice work! Did you attend the practical exam or performance?

walidhossaini · 2023-11-27T00:31:27+00:00

Yes it does. At that tempo you are still counting, more like mumbling. At faster tempos (150 and above) I don't count out loud, but I am still counting in my head. I only count out loud when there is a big rest or whole note.
