1. Learn to recognize phonetic music and read musical notation just like learning to read.
Writing is much more complicated than musical notation. You can still master the writing, let alone read musical notation. But if you don't pay attention to the method, the process of reading music will take a long time. Each space and line position on the staff represents a note with a fixed pitch. There is no repetition. Using the memory method to identify sounds is both fast and reliable.
2. Cultivate and train rhythm concepts step by step and gradually become more complex
First, memorize the shapes and names of commonly used notes. Then there is the concept of establishing the exact shooting point of the unit shot. The swing and sound of the metronome are both tangible. One swing and one sound are one beat. With the accurate beat point of the metronome, we can then train ourselves to cultivate and grasp this beat point in our hearts. When the heart can accurately express this concept of rhythm, the brain will be able to direct the fingers to play according to the prescribed rhythm of the note duration. Everything starts with an armed mind. There is only one scientific method, which is to use your brain first and then your hands.
3. Don’t play the piano blindly, learn to read music scores without playing the piano
If you learn to “study” music scores before playing the piano, and read the scores like a book, you will need to operate your fingers after playing the piano. The scattered energy is focused on clearly seeing the clef, key signature, and time signature in advance, paying attention to other symbols on the score except the notes, recognizing the pitch first, and thinking about the duration and relationship of the notes to prepare the brain. Before taking action, you will definitely overcome the possible omissions caused by fixating on a certain note after playing the piano, reduce blindness, and avoid various mistakes.
4. Read music at a slow speed
Reading new music at an inappropriate speed is one of the important causes of various errors. Therefore, be sure to slow down and read the music. What is the appropriate speed? The appropriate speed is to let the brain and eyes go in front of the fingers, and to play according to the rhythm of the notes with an accurate beat without interruption or pause.
5. Learning in sections, sentences, and sections may seem slow, but it is actually fast
Familiarity with tone, grasp of rhythm, and habits of technical movements all rely on repetition. If the repeated part is too long, it is not conducive to memory. If it is repeated in sections, sentences, and paragraphs, concepts and habits can be easily established. It seems that you have only learned one sentence, but mastering one sentence is much better than learning four sentences and mastering none. The so-called scientific nature is reflected in the way of thinking that can actively adapt to the development laws of objective things, and seek scientific methods with this way of thinking.
Music notation is a method of recording music using symbols, produced by printing or handwriting. Different cultures and regions developed different notation methods. Notation can be divided into two categories: recording pitch and recording fingering. Staff notation, simplified notation and Braille notation are all musical notations that record pitches. The guitar's six-line notation and the guqin's subtraction notation are both musical notations that record fingerings. Traditional music scores are mainly copied on paper, but now there are also computer programs that can produce music scores.
