Hi guys, I'm exercising daily to improve my piano skills. Would you recommend any app, training, or specific method to improve as a player? Any suggestions are welcomed!
Maybe this sounds old-school but I think having a real professor is always a good idea. What is missing with any App or book, is the feedback of what you're doing. Things like an healthy hand-position somebody needs to "control". But it also depends on the genre you want to play. Most Piano professors only have studied classical music... PS: désolé pour mon anglais 😉
Record yourself on a piece (or even just part of a piece) that you can play without mistakes, and listen back for your rhythmic accuracy. Does it sound solid? If it doesn't and you're not sure where you're off, you can use the computer to help. Here's how: if you've got a computer app like Garageband on Mac and a MIDI keyboard, record yourself with the computer metronome playing, then copy the recorded track to a second track, then quantize that second track (and make sure this quantized track has the correct rhythm.) Pan the original track to one side, and the quantized track to the other, then listen back - you can even slow it way down with the tempo control on playback. Find the notes where you're way off rhythmically (way too soon or way too late) and correct them - through focused practice of short phrases to correct thr too-soon-ness or to-late-ness. Let me know if you have any questions. I have a way of doing this with the Garageband Score window using the Grid menu, but would be too difficult to explain here.
