Technique-Focused: Your Step-by-Step Piano Practice Routine

[@marcusvaldes]

Your studio is amazing with all that natural light.

[@PianoRoadmap]

Thank you! Yes, I love it. And I often get to see deer (and sometimes even bears 🐻) right outside 😃

[@shermiesdad]

Again Susan, I can't thank you enough. Your Faber follow along course along with your other videos is the help and inspiration I've needed for years

[@PianoRoadmap]

That is so wonderful to hear, and you're welcome! Thank you very much for your continued support.

I notice that too, if I practice at night I'll get better when I wake up. I use night time to learn new chord progressions (very beginner here), train them a lot a lot and when I come back the next day, I'm way better at it, that way I can focus on the melody on the next day because the chord progressions are handling themselves already.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci. When I practice scales I add the modes, but I start with the Lydian, the only one that sharpens a fourth. Then I do Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Lochrian, and another diminished scale that also flattens the fourth. By doing the modes in this order, I'm going down the colours of the scales. I also learned the Rule of the Octave this month and have started trying to learn this in every key. And every day I practice sightreading. I have a Bach Chorale book laid out with two, then three and four voices. I have the Faber (British version) and La Méthode Rose (bilingual French/British). But the method book that helped the most was John Thompson (French). I hadn't made much progress with Faber and LMR, but I just breezed through Volume 1. My piano teacher noticed a big improvement, and wants to work with Volume 2.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am an adult and have been playing 2.5 years with a teacher. Recently I have felt lost when it comes to practicing. This video has saved the day! I might have to look into you Faber Adult beginner program, instant subscribe to your channel.

[@PianoRoadmap]

So glad to hear it! Since you have been taking piano for 2.5 years, you may be going through a period of transition or "growth spurt", where practice techniques that you used in the past are no longer as effective. And I would love to have you in the Faber Follow-Along program but it MIGHT be too easy for you! You can always try it and then, if it's not right, let me know within 7 days and I can refund you. 😊

almost at the end of my first year of self teaching, and just starting the faber adult piano all in one level 2. I did all of level one with all three song books. Now that I'm getting more comfortable with playing, I decided to get a few supplemental books to work on along side the Faber stuff. I got Macfannon's Scale and Arpeggio Manual, Czerny's Op 599, and First Lessons in Bach. I already had the Improve Your Sight Reading books, but I'm gonna start using them. So my new practice routine is: Scales and Arpeggios, followed by some sight reading exercises, followed by working on a Czerny exercise for a short time, followed by a Bach piece for a short time, followed by the main study being whatever I'm working on in Faber.

Great advice - helps with organizing a practice session

[@stateazure]

Can you tell me what the piece is you were playing at the start? It's really beautiful! Thank you.

[@PianoRoadmap]

Hi! It's Liszt's Consolation in D-flat Major. You can download a free score here: www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/LisztF/S.172/liszt-consolation-no3/liszt-consolation-no3-a4.pdf

[@stateazure]

@@PianoRoadmap Thanks so much :)

[@williambunter3311]

Very encouraging. Thank you. Practise slowly; succeed quickly!

[@Rubiegarden]

Hello, just subscribed to your channel, the Faber follow-along course and ordered the Faber book I. I have really started practising seriously in January with a teacher once a week. Your method seems like the perfect touch to add to my practice and improve both my technique and music theory! Thank you for sharing!

[@PianoRoadmap]

With a private teacher and the Faber follow-along, it sounds like you have the ingredients for a GREAT piano beginning! Good luck!

[@Rubiegarden]

Thank you so very much for your reply. It is a great pleasure to watch your videos, you bring a sense of structured peacefulness among all the KZbin channels covering piano practices...@@PianoRoadmap

[@judethedude5726]

Could you do a video on practicing for a longer time

[@PianoRoadmap]

Sure, like an hour? Two? You're just looking for suggestions on how to organize your practice time?

[@judethedude5726]

@@PianoRoadmap yep, that would be a great help i always just seem to get through everything after the first like 45 minutes and don’t know what to and end up just getting distracted and not really progressing through my pieces despite being at the piano.

Keep the faith. Your subs will increase - hockey stick model..

[@AzeveidoMateus]

For some reason everything I play is improving but I’ve been practicing minute waltz by chopin forever and no matter how much I practice it I still play it sloppy.

[@PianoRoadmap]

Are you working with a teacher on it or learning it on your own? When this happens to me, it's usually because I'm just continually "playing it through", rather than practicing slowly, practicing in sections, etc.

[@AzeveidoMateus]

@@PianoRoadmap I’ve been playing it through. My right forearm also gets cramped up from playing the fast parts with the right hand. So after I play it through two or three times I need to take a break because my right hand is so fatigued.
