Whether you are using a book, video, a real live being or online lessons, keep these pointers in mind in order to get the most out our your studies.
1. Complete and master each section before moving on to the next: As you work through your studies make sure you have each new technique or idea conquered before activity on to the next. Lessons are planned to build upon each other and trying to rush through without fully understanding one will just lead to frustration and wasted efforts.
2. Study as if you were in school. Do some homework every night. If all you have is 15 minutes then use those 15 minutes. If you don’t have time to read/watch and appeal then do the application of your last lesson or drills such as scales and chords. Reading/watching and not having the opportunity to apply immediately will usually mean you have to relearn your lesson. Take notes. Especially if you’re watching a video or working with a human. Also don’t be afraid to write all over your workbooks and sheet music.
3. appeal what you’ve learned: Play for others. Your church, your family, that spare piano sitting in your favorite department store (ask first). Nothing drives a music lesson home better than a recital. It will also magnify what you need to work on.
These tips work whether your a child or an adult. Learning to play an instrument is a wonderful activity.

Most people are not comfortable performing in front people. When I say of performing, such as an instrument, or singing, or acting, I mean more than just knowing how to do well at your chosen craft, I mean doing it well and in front of people. It’s the in front of people part that gets us every time. How many of us sing like a bird in the shower but then when people are watching we can’t carry a note. Here are three steps to start you on the road to comfort (never complete) when called on to shine.
1. Don’t neglect to practice. Whether you sing or play an amanuensis practice is the key to being relaxed. The more familiar you are with what you are performing, the less anxiety you will have about messing up.
2. Don’t back up. Piano teaches pass this on all the time. If you mess up in the middle, or any place in your piece, don’t a reculons up and repeat the offending passage. Keep going. Chances are your audience didn’t even notice.
3. Try not to be critical of your technical skill. Focus more on your overall performance. How does it sound as a whole? If you’re a pianist and you worry during your piece almost your fingering then you’re ignoring the song and how it sounds. annoy all but technicalities when you practice. Which should be often.
With time playing in front of and for other people will come much easier. You’ll be a natural. So use every opportunity to show your stuff!
