The content of Skillful Piano Learning is mainly divided into two parts: first, the teaching of basic music theory; Second, the teaching of basic piano playing techniques.
First of all, let's talk about the importance of music theory: whether you are studying piano, preparing for the exam or just a hobby, learning music theory is essential. Theory is the guide of practice, and only the practice guided by theory has a direction and purpose, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed. The piano grading examination at home and abroad has become more and more aware and has begun to implement the beginning of music theory, such as the performance examination of the King's piano above Grade 5. You need a five-level certificate of music theory to apply for the exam. And so on all illustrate the importance of music theory.
Many piano learners seem to be superb in piano skills, but many such guitar "masters" have neglected a very serious problem, that is, music theory. To learn the piano well, you should not only practice the musical instrument brilliantly, but also study the music theory deeply. I think the technique of playing the musical instrument and the theoretical things in your head should go hand in hand. If you play the guitar well, you are already very proficient in all kinds of skills, and your music theory is only the beginner's level. In that case, you can't be called a "musician". You are at most a "piano player"
Maybe some friends will say that I just play casually. Then you also need to have a systematic study of music theory. In this way, you will be more aware of the rhythm and counterpoint relationship between your left and right hands, rather than groping for it yourself or simply imitating it. At the same time, the study of music theory is also a necessary prerequisite for learning piano improvisation. Being unable to listen to music is like being blind. Can you walk? Yes! You're walking well! However, I just can't see the road! You can't always copy other people's things all your life!
Then I'll talk about the importance of basic piano playing techniques: the basic piano skills are just like horse steps in learning martial arts. If you don't lay a solid foundation, no matter how high the building is, everything will be a cloud in the end! Basic skill training is one of the main topics to ensure comprehensive, systematic and targeted learning of piano primary skills. Basic training is meticulous and strict. This part teaches the essentials and methods of piano basic skills in detail. "If you do well in advance, you must sharpen your tools first!" "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish!" Is the starting point and destination of this tutorial! So, how can we learn, learn and master these skills quickly? Of course, there are ways and shortcuts, and this is also the "secret book" I want to talk about in this tutorial!
Of course, the course not only has rich teaching content, but also introduces the author's personal experience, so that you can learn the essence of the author over the years quickly and avoid detours on the road of learning piano!
