Effective Practice and Motivation
Below are some of the many different aspects involved in learning how to practice the piano effectively. MUSICAL FORM AND EFFECTIVE PIANO PRACTICE Musical form is the overall structure, or shape, of the piece. It is like a map that provides the overall plan of the piece. Knowing the form provides a good overview of the composition. Learning to identify the form of the piece as well as the form of the individual sections is very helpful in making the piece seem shorter, less complicated and easier to memorize. Musical form is usually identified using letters of the alphabet, however, some people (especially young children) prefer using color and/or shapes to identify different sections. More advanced students will find it helpful to map out the overall key scheme of the piece. |
