1. How to play keyboard songs on your own
Do you occasionally struggle to motivate yourself to play piano or keyboard on your own without the
support of your teacher?
This happens to many people when they start learning something new. Sometimes it is because
people can lack confidence when going it alone.
If you get the correct advice and follow the techniques given in your lesson or from your course then
when you practice on your own it will seem a lot easier.
Remember to take notes down in your lesson or from your online course and always ask as many
questions as you need to. A good teacher should be able to give you as much support as possible.
If learning independently, below is some advice in relation to learning songs on your own: -
As a beginner it is important to learn all the basics of the keyboard. The only way to really
master this is to dig deep and get involved. To help learn the different areas of the keyboard
try playing some simple short tunes.
Lots of books and courses have music like this where you will play one song with your right
hand only and then move onto another that is played just with your left hand.
Always start your practice session with a scale of your choice. This is to ensure your hands
are warmed up and ready to go.
When you start to learn write down a list of the top 5 songs you would like to play the most,
then speak to your tutor and see if these are suitable for a beginner.
Most songs can be adapted to suit any level of player and there are plenty of books out
there designed for beginners.
It is important when learning keyboard to play songs that you know really well and that you
have the original music to. A great way to master a song is to listen to the song through your
iPad or stereo and to then listen out for the parts of the song you are playing on the
keyboard. This will also help with your timing and rhythm control.
Make sure you have your keyboard set up in quiet surroundings. Try and get a permanent
home for your keyboard where you can go and escape. This way when you do go to practice
you won’t have any distractions and you can utilise your time to the maximum.
If you are trying to learn in a busy environment where you can’t concentrate then it will
extend the time takes you to achieve your goals.
