Josh, I’m 68 and started playing again last year after a 30 year hiatus. I’m playing better and more advanced works than I ever imagined and have a terrific teacher. These tutorials have been very helpful as “supplements” to me lessons. Learning how to practice is essential. Thank you so much!

After 12 years of studying piano this is by far the best advice I've heard about piano practice. I really think this is pure gold, like the most important lesson to progress in piano playing, I think following this advice separates a average pianist from a great one. To give this to us is a great act of humility on your part. I hope to meet you some day.

Great video. This was what I took away: "You burden your practice sessions when you practice old material constantly. Once you've learned it... move on, learn new stuff." The comments about building repertoire are also gems. Will be watching more. Wonderful stuff. Thank you

@cisium1184 4 жыл бұрын

You are so right about "seasoning" time. (I call it "cooking time.") Setting something aside is not just OK, it's a necessary part of the learning process. Your brain actually needs to let new things roll around in your head for awhile and let them "cook." I can't count the number of times I have put something aside for a couple days, a night, an afternoon walk, or even just a shower, to come back and find I can play it better than I was playing it before I took a break.

@Emma-ob5oj 4 жыл бұрын

9:34 “things take time to season”. That is the lesson I learned in my last concert (last week). I had to learn something completely new for it in 2 days (3rd day was the concert). When the first day ended I was exhausted and I thought I wouldn’t be able to learn it in time. When I woke up on the 2nd day it was in my system, all of that frustration and hard work payed off! What I couldn’t play on the first day went so naturally on the (maybe even second day) 3rd day.

TL;DW: Split piece into small segments. After mastery of 1 segment, move on to next. After mastery of all segments combine them into larger ones and practice. DO NOT FURTHER MASTER 1 SEGMENT UNTIL ALL OTHER SEGMENTS ARE AT THE SAME LEVEL OF MASTERY.

I find the way you identify something that you are doing has taught me how valuable to be able to "Name" what it is that I am doing no matter how short it is or long. Being retired and old -- I find it has actually started causing my memory in everything in life to be getting better. Identify -- Name -- Remember is my motto now. Thanks Josh.

@IsacksonStudio 9 жыл бұрын

Cool thoughts. When I practice, I know how tempting it is to "keep adding" as you called it, either before or after the part that I'm working on. So I put sticky notes on top of the measures before and after whatever part I'm working on. That way, unless the piece is all memorized, it forces you to stay focused on the exact part you need to work on and nothing more. And sticky notes are easy to take on and off and move around the music page. It also works great for my students.

Youre so right about the two to three day break. I am surprised sometimes that even without really focusing on one part, I could play it perfectly two days after my practice session. I think you sometimes just have to let go and let your subconscious do the work for you. Its really stunning what a brain can do.

I may only know three chords in a piece of music but until I learn the others I will play those three every way imaginable with all the expression within me and with all the technique I have learned and with all my spirit. I will make a buffet meal out of those three chords, I will play them like a Grand Sonata on a concert stage.
