How to practice piano. 1. Find a cool new song. 2. Start to slowly play it. 3. Screw up at least 10 times. 4. Get frustrated and spam one key to unload the frustration. 5. Screw up again. 6. Try to play one of the songs you already know to feel better. 7. Screw up again because you're already angry. 8. Fuck it, you'll practice another time. Repeat until satisfied.
How I practice a new song usually goes like this: *Warms up with random excersizes* *Begins new song* *Messes up and gets frustrated* *Decides to play old song that I can play with my eyes closed* *Screw that song up because I’m already on edge* *Walks away from piano*
Trying to get a note that’s too loud to be quiet is the worst feeling, especially on a fast piece like Torrent. At some point I break and start slamming note in frustration.
sometimes I take a break when im learning a new song just to play something that I know really well, so I can remind myself that im actually good at piano and not completely horrible 😭 pls does anyone else do this lol
Trust me, it’s so much easier to keep moving on past a mistake, use a metronome, and just move through. I’m learning a peice that’s a sucks rn and the only way to get past the hard parts is playing through mistakes
At first there's an irritation with the song "why's it gotta be like that!?!?" and then it turns into irritation with self "darn it why can't I get it right!" and then eventually there's the acceptance that i'm just bad and will need to come back to it another time and keep practicing.
repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat. I don't really feel comfortable practicing when there are other people around, because I imagine it must sound annoying listening to that.
@fryderyckchopin484 ehhh yknow it's going alright actually! I learnt the first piece but not that properly just a simplified version but other than that it's pretty good :)
@@chasesutherland1168 i do it a lot and other people i know do it a lot. sometimes (especially on pianos in need of adjustment) there is a key that is brighter than the others or the musician is just having a hard time getting the sound they want, especially if the piece has more than two voices at once. Hope this helps :D
It's like how in a car it can take twice as long to go from 60-120 as it did 0-60. Getting technique and speed, is a relatively linear process of muscle memory. But feel? My god.
je suis flûtiste : pas d'entrée dure , dans le grave . Interdit. entrer dans le médium , + facile ,un beau son d'une note à l'autre .Toujours s'écouter jouer , toujours
I hated practicing until I learned to properly sight read. Basically helps you skip over the annoying part of learning what to play and focus on the how to play and how to play faster
That's how it goes when I sing - "Nah, not clean enough, not the right pitch. Too loud, too quiet. Too monotone, flat, no feel AAAAAAaaaAaaaAAA I SUCK"
Here's how my practice goes as a beginner (about 8 months of playing) 1. Find Song I want to play 2. Look up sheet music 3. Sheet music too hard look up youtube tutorial 4. Learn for 10 minutes 5. Mess up 6. Learn for 10 more minutes 7. Mess up again 8. Okay this song too hard 9. Consider signing up for actual lessons 10. Play guitar instead
Me when starting a new piece: search up on RUclips to find videos of masters playing it, try to imitate their tone and emotions and spend hours on the dynamics of the first note, eventually find out myself practiced a day but only know how to play the first bar.
I think quiet days are to be cherised ❤️ Snd yes, keeping the promises we make to ourselves is very important. I loved the video Mom and good job❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How mine goes: *4 octave major, minor, harmonic, and melodic scales in every key to warm up* *get frustrated because I keep messing up scales I thought I already knew well* *practice sight reading for a half hour* *get frustrated because I keep making dumb mistakes that are really obvious* *practice the piece I’m learning for an hour* *start slow but start getting impatient so I start speeding up* *making random mistakes as a result* *playing through those mistakes because if I acknowledge them I’ll get angry* *play that part again to build muscle memory* *makes another mistake, now getting angry and spamming the actual note (that didn’t do anything)*
I am a non musician but I get you 😆 actually when I was young I used to think "how intelligent these guys must be that they remember the tone of every note on piano" well pRaCtIcE
My mom always yells across the house “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” So I yell back “PRACTICING” she yells back “THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE A SONG” I yell back at her “I START VERY SLOW” she yells back “CAN I TRY?” So I let her try but she fails because she has never played piano. Then she goes back until the next time I play.

Try the play the song really fast, get stuck over one area, ragequit and go off to do something (idk). One day later repeat the process all over again. One week later come back to the piece and realise you can play it perfectly. (WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME)
How my practice sessions usually go: 1. Find new song 2. Somehow get the first bar right first try 3. Confidence boost 4. Screw up the second bar immediately 5. Try the second bar again 6. Get very pissed off unload by spamming D 7. Play from the top, but slower. Near perfection, except for the impromptu black note I forget about 8. Necessary keyboard slam 9. Repeat the same bar on loop 10. Play from the top again, giving up completely by the last 3 bars 11. Put off the song until you feel like playing it again (this can go from a few days to a couple of months)
How I practice 1.take a specific piece 2.overthinking it 3.tries to go fast 4.fails miserably 5.trying to quit then remembering I have class 6.plays separately 7.quits 8.comes back and doesn’t give a shit
Steps of practicing: 1. Start playing slow 2. Reach a hard passage and practice it for 30 minutes until you get it perfect 3. The twist is that the more you play the passage the more frustrated you get because you're just too bad 4. Practice that same passage even slower to get it just right 5. Get even more frustrated 6. Start playing very quickly 7. At first it sounds good and then everything just falls apart and you start raging 8. You either start spamming one note, or hit the keyboard to unload your frustration 9. You give up on the passage and start playing from the beginning really fast 10. you reach that passage😵😣 11. you mess it up again 12. now you're really hungry, frustrated and hate yourself, you want to quit piano + your back really hurts
How other players practice: sequence from above, sequence from below, move it in 1/2 step, in minor and major thirds, 4ths tritones and 5ths. Find what sounds good
HAHA RELATABLE God I spent like thirty minutes on these few bars and I couldn’t hear any difference until my piano lesson and my piano teacher said there was improvement but I couldn’t hear it before so I got very frustrated 😭
That's how we "practice" when we get really frustrated
It's very grim not to know that I'm growing up
@@cool_jazzok who asked
@@RobinsMusic nobody but who cares
Fr I play Clarinet and when I get mad I just spam random notes or just play the whole piece very angrily hope it sounds right lol

...a bit like life!
This actually works
Glad I’m not the only one! 🎉🎉🎉
Simply accurate😭😭🫂
Yeah, pretty much spot on
You're forgetting the ocasional "key smash" and "playing a song you know very fast"
Of course there's playing that song we know really fast. It reminds us we can actually play 😂😂😂
Motivation playing (it doesn’t work)
Yes lol my go to fast song is entertainer 😂
Yeaaaa
@@JackStacks_1that's funny considering the tempo instruction at the beginning of the original sheet music says "not fast"
How I practice a new song usually goes like this:
*Warms up with random excersizes*
*Begins new song*
*Messes up and gets frustrated*
*Decides to play old song that I can play with my eyes closed*
*Screw that song up because I’m already on edge*
*Walks away from piano*
I try to get to the end of the piece on the first try. It might take 7 hours, but needs must. Shows me it's not impossible 😂
LMAOOO SO TRUE
LMAO ME
LITERALLYYY
Decides to play old song…😂 proper
And the same 4 bar loop for 20 minutes trying to burn it into our muscle memory.
REAL
True talk
Sim realmente
Or same 4 note loop.
Indeed 😂
*Hard Spams a single note in frustration, anger, despair, anguish, hopelessness, sadness and 999+ more*
This is how Rush E was born
Yeah, that was me learning staccato and legato by Bartok. Piece was hard cause it sounded hideous
@@SillySpaceMonkey dang never thought of like that
Literally 😭 If you've never done this I refuse to believe you've ever played the piano 😂

Tyyyy!!!
You know they are at the edge of full on rage when a pianist plays a specific section repeatedly slower
LMAO YES
That "too loud" and "too quiet" hits too close to home.
EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.
Right😭
Pay attention to how you speak guys, or swear (especially avoid insults, crazy, mm just for fun) please, it's serious

the “i don’t care anymore” is so relatable
❤
Slow sections are infinitely more frustrating to perfect cause every single sound and silence needs to be 100% perfect or I wanna defenestrate myself
This is literally me every day. ‘The c is too quiet or the grace note was too loud’ lol always something. 😂
As a pianist I can agree with this 😭
I Stay a looooong time trying to do the PRACTICE right, and in the middle, i cry a little
😢
I was waiting for the frustrated key smashes
I’ve been a pianist since I was five and I can confirm this is how we practice 😂
Trying to get a note that’s too loud to be quiet is the worst feeling, especially on a fast piece like Torrent. At some point I break and start slamming note in frustration.
I hate how accurate that is😭💀😂
sometimes I take a break when im learning a new song just to play something that I know really well, so I can remind myself that im actually good at piano and not completely horrible 😭 pls does anyone else do this lol
bro I be bailing 5 mins in to play some skrillex on piano ngl
1st one: me on a good day
2nd one: pissed off because i keep playing a single note wrong
Actual practice: *plays exercises slowly then fast
so true 😂
literally how i practise😅
Meanwhile I'm just repeating the same 4 measures like 50 times to get it to click in my head and in my hands better.
Especially as more of a beginning to intermediate player. This is pretty accurate.
Trust me, it’s so much easier to keep moving on past a mistake, use a metronome, and just move through. I’m learning a peice that’s a sucks rn and the only way to get past the hard parts is playing through mistakes
This is too real 😂💀
The amount of retries to get it right in the beginning just to screw up but continue anyways cuz I've gone too far to restart 😭
I had a piano teacher tell me that if I restarted and was making the same mistake, I was practicing the screw up.
At first there's an irritation with the song "why's it gotta be like that!?!?" and then it turns into irritation with self "darn it why can't I get it right!" and then eventually there's the acceptance that i'm just bad and will need to come back to it another time and keep practicing.
repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat. I don't really feel comfortable practicing when there are other people around, because I imagine it must sound annoying listening to that.
YOURE PLAYING LOVE DREAM IM LEARNING THAT :DDD
How is it going?
@fryderyckchopin484 ehhh yknow it's going alright actually! I learnt the first piece but not that properly just a simplified version but other than that it's pretty good :)
Professional pianist here. The first version sounds more like a conservatory practice room. I've NEVER heard anyone practice the second way.
You don't know me😅
@@mailingstewart6737 :-)
exactly what I was thinking. I don't even know why anyone would practice the second way. Nobody would obsess over one note.
@@chasesutherland1168 i do it a lot and other people i know do it a lot. sometimes (especially on pianos in need of adjustment) there is a key that is brighter than the others or the musician is just having a hard time getting the sound they want, especially if the piece has more than two voices at once. Hope this helps :D
I couldn't relate to the 2nd way of 1 note 'too loud/soft', guess I'm not advanced enough to care 😂
It's like how in a car it can take twice as long to go from 60-120 as it did 0-60. Getting technique and speed, is a relatively linear process of muscle memory.
But feel? My god.

THE AMOUNT OF RAGE I GOT FROM THIS ON LIEBESTRAUM!!! IM CRYING😂😂😂😂 I HEAR YOU BROTHER🤝
The "but I don't give a shit anymore" is what got me 😂
Nah mate, we “warm up” by vibing to shit, then we start and get distracted
But that jump when you start really thinking about touch and texture etc., instead of just notes and fingering is a HUGGGGGEEE motivator
That's how it goes when I sing - "Nah, not clean enough, not the right pitch. Too loud, too quiet. Too monotone, flat, no feel AAAAAAaaaAaaaAAA I SUCK"
If you manage to sound flat on a piano, I think it's time to reconsider your career
After that you only get more critical, you do thouse liszt finger trainings every time for hours,
How do I practise?
I don't. I just play terribly.
Haha no way, im also learning Liebestraum no. 3 right now
What are the names of the pieces?
I don't know how RUclips knows my struggles ahahah, I am literally learning liebstraum and I was having this exact problem today 😭 ahahahha
the second situation is more emotional
Would have been more interesting if the examples had been the same piece.
but experienced musicians only play fast pieces, obviously
(sorry i'm joking, i've just heard this so much)
When I practice I have always aggressions
Pay attention to how you speak guys, or swear (especially avoid insults, crazy, mm just for fun) please, it's serious
**plays that one specific arpeggio 38 times until i get it right with no mistakes**
A Pianists mistakes are what makes the piece beautifully unique in its own way.
"There are no mistakes in art." - Maria Renteria
"If you can play it slow, you can play it fast."
tbh we do not even practice and i am 15 and played for 12 years
This is my entire existence
🥰How Good It Is To Have A Pianist Family🥰
The momentary pauses of frustration with the deep sighs.
This so true it happened to me everytime 😂😂
Here's how my practice goes as a beginner (about 8 months of playing)
1. Find Song I want to play
2. Look up sheet music
3. Sheet music too hard look up youtube tutorial
4. Learn for 10 minutes
5. Mess up
6. Learn for 10 more minutes
7. Mess up again
8. Okay this song too hard
9. Consider signing up for actual lessons
10. Play guitar instead
when we get frustrated, we resort to
*S P A M* or *S L A M*
Me when starting a new piece: search up on RUclips to find videos of masters playing it, try to imitate their tone and emotions and spend hours on the dynamics of the first note, eventually find out myself practiced a day but only know how to play the first bar.
Bad grammar.
Flute player btw
素晴らしいですね❤
Now do "How pianists learn pieces"
I am a newb and trying to get the right volume from a key is hard but seeing you struggle a bit made my day 😂
The first is the practice of a technical piece, the second is a practice on the sound and the touch in an expressive passage.
Yep, the second part is how I remember playing.
Usually stumbling through a song a few times and refining it.
Hearing a teacher say no color honestly had me dying inside.
aint no way, first two notes i knew instantly liebestraum. you have good taste my friend
So being able to improvise is super high tier level of the piano
You forgot to play the scales and arpeggios a hundred times
no cause i know when i hear a pianist play loud fast scales and arpeggios, they're angry
What's your daily schedule of practice and how many hours do you dedicate every practice sessions?
I think quiet days are to be cherised ❤️ Snd yes, keeping the promises we make to ourselves is very important. I loved the video Mom and good job❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
First song is the etude "Torrent" from Chopin and the second Song is Liebestraum no3 from Liszt
"The C is too quiet but I don't gv a fk anymore."
and then you are performing somewhere else.
Ahhh shit. Here we go again.
That’s so true 😅
How mine goes:
*4 octave major, minor, harmonic, and melodic scales in every key to warm up*
*get frustrated because I keep messing up scales I thought I already knew well*
*practice sight reading for a half hour*
*get frustrated because I keep making dumb mistakes that are really obvious*
*practice the piece I’m learning for an hour*
*start slow but start getting impatient so I start speeding up*
*making random mistakes as a result*
*playing through those mistakes because if I acknowledge them I’ll get angry*
*play that part again to build muscle memory*
*makes another mistake, now getting angry and spamming the actual note (that didn’t do anything)*
That's how you practice when you actually understand what is important in a (piano) piece. I still struggle with that kind of independence
"Its too hard, let me play an old easy one"
SO true. Getting the notes, dynamics, articulation, phrase shaping, AND musicality just right can be a long-winded nightmare.
Practicing piano for my lesson tomorrow and I actually think this is the final straw that’s gonna break my mental health 😊🔫
I practice playing random notes on the keyboard
I am a non musician but I get you 😆 actually when I was young I used to think "how intelligent these guys must be that they remember the tone of every note on piano" well pRaCtIcE
And then my Asian household questions whether I know how to play the piano or not
I don’t know that answer myself.
My mom always yells across the house “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” So I yell back “PRACTICING” she yells back “THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE A SONG” I yell back at her “I START VERY SLOW” she yells back “CAN I TRY?” So I let her try but she fails because she has never played piano.

Ikr? Playing Liebestraum with good musicality is kinda hard
A dozen a day 💀
1 = Practicing technique and muscle memory
2 = Refining touch, phrasing and dynamics
How is that song called? The last one and the first one
