A new way to practice
THIS….is my FAVORITE way to practice! 👇🏾
Practicing like this will elevate your playing SO much, plus its way funner in my opinion LOL
So heres the deal, I am going to be dropping some NEW Chord progression PNO Books & they will have videos featuring me showing you how I practice them OVER backing tracks/instrumentals! DON’T WORRY…these PNO Books will also feature JUST THE AUDIO OF EACH TRACK I played to in the other vids, that way you can practice yourself and play over them too!
Some of the tracks we will be playing to/over will be drum beats of different genres (hiphop, UK garage, country, indie folk, RnB). Some tracks and PNO Books will be geared towards a specific KEY and in this case we will likely be playing over more fuller instrumentals with other elements supporting our piano playing.
Like I said in the video above, this method REALLY helps you be able to play better ON THE FLY. It makes you be able to sit down at the piano AT ANY TIME, and just be able to PLAY! The main reason for this is because you are building up muscle memory in a couple ways. One way is simply mechanics of your hands when it comes to the chords you’re playing. You will get more comfortable PLAYING different chord progressions. Soon you’ll have a more confident touch! The other way and the biggest way is that you are playing piano chord progressions IN A VARIETY of contexts!
After playing SO MUCH to these different beats, rhythms, different timings and tempo……you’ll see that NOW you can play ALL those different variations you were practicing with WITHOUT the tracks! This is because of muscle memory!
You know how to bounce a chord on a consistent nice beat IN YOUR HEAD, because you’ve been practicing over one of the instrumentals where it made sense in context!
You know how to keep your time and pace while playing without a metronome because in your head you’re still playing to the backing track subconsciously!
You know how to add a riff or a break in the middle of playing piano because you were doing that IN CONEXT over an instrumental!
So, yeah…thats what we have coming up next ! I hope this makes sense…if not….trust me it will once we get started 🔥🔥🔥🔥😏😮💨😎🎹
