Learning to play the black keys

What are the risks of learning to play the piano from videos and without a master?

The only risk is the one of not doing the exercises learned correctly as there is no-one to check and correct you.

However if you know in advance which are the most common mistakes made in starting to study these exercises, you can avoid this by making sure you don’t make the same mistakes yourself!

The first thing that I will show you today is exactly which are the most common mistakes to avoid in begining to study the exercises which we learned the last time and how to correct them.

But this is only one of the several things you will learn today, including:

  • How to do the exercises studied in the last lesson as best as you can thanks to the use of different angles
  • How to do a new exercise with the black keys
  • How to organize as well as possible the study of all exercises when you have little time available.

The first essential exercises to learn to compose (part 2)

Let’s learn to compose

In the last lesson we spoke extensively about the importance of these exercises which allow to develop all mental abilities necessary in the composition of music.

We have also seen a first example of how to carry out these exercises to learn to compose.

But today we will go further

I will show you, through some examples which music sheets you will be able to print out in pdf, how it is possible to obtain more variety in the moment we do these exercises.

To get used to search variety in composition while maintaining a general balance is fundamental for one simple reason: we practice using our imagination and our creativity.

Musical imagination is something which can be improved.

This may be done using possible variants of exercises which I will show you today.
