    I notice that too, if I practice at night I'll get better when I wake up. I use night time to learn new chord progressions (very beginner here), train them a lot a lot and when I come back the next day, I'm way better at it, that way I can focus on the melody on the next day because the chord progressions are handling themselves already.

    Merci.
    When I practice scales I add the modes, but I start with the Lydian, the only one that sharpens a fourth.
    Then I do Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, Lochrian, and another diminished scale that also flattens the fourth. By doing the modes in this order, I'm going down the colours of the scales.
    I also learned the Rule of the Octave this month and have started trying to learn this in every key.
    And every day I practice sightreading. I have a Bach Chorale book laid out with two, then three and four voices. I have the Faber (British version) and La Méthode Rose (bilingual French/British). But the method book that helped the most was John Thompson (French). I hadn't made much progress with Faber and LMR, but I just breezed through Volume 1. My piano teacher noticed a big improvement, and wants to work with Volume 2.

    Hello, just subscribed to your channel, the Faber follow-along course and ordered the Faber book I. I have really started practising seriously in January with a teacher once a week. Your method seems like the perfect touch to add to my practice and improve both my technique and music theory! Thank you for sharing!

    • @PianoRoadmap
      @PianoRoadmap  2 місяці тому

      Are you working with a teacher on it or learning it on your own? When this happens to me, it's usually because I'm just continually "playing it through", rather than practicing slowly, practicing in sections, etc.

      @@PianoRoadmap I’ve been playing it through. My right forearm also gets cramped up from playing the fast parts with the right hand. So after I play it through two or three times I need to take a break because my right hand is so fatigued.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am an adult and have been playing 2.5 years with a teacher. Recently I have felt lost when it comes to practicing. This video has saved the day! I might have to look into you Faber Adult beginner program, instant subscribe to your channel.

    • @PianoRoadmap
      @PianoRoadmap  11 місяців тому +2

      So glad to hear it! Since you have been taking piano for 2.5 years, you may be going through a period of transition or "growth spurt", where practice techniques that you used in the past are no longer as effective. And I would love to have you in the Faber Follow-Along program but it MIGHT be too easy for you! You can always try it and then, if it's not right, let me know within 7 days and I can refund you. 😊

    almost at the end of my first year of self teaching, and just starting the faber adult piano all in one level 2. I did all of level one with all three song books. Now that I'm getting more comfortable with playing, I decided to get a few supplemental books to work on along side the Faber stuff. I got Macfannon's Scale and Arpeggio Manual, Czerny's Op 599, and First Lessons in Bach. I already had the Improve Your Sight Reading books, but I'm gonna start using them.
    So my new practice routine is: Scales and Arpeggios, followed by some sight reading exercises, followed by working on a Czerny exercise for a short time, followed by a Bach piece for a short time, followed by the main study being whatever I'm working on in Faber.
