GYoung asked: I started playing around 6 months ago becasue i was bored and have a piano that i never gave thought to playing. I learned simple songs first but then moved to stuff like Maple Leaf Rag, Fur Elise, Alla Turca etc. The way i learn however is by reading each cleff separtley, playing it tell i have the notes/chords memorized and then put them together and work out the rhythm with a metronome without further assitance from the sheet music (unless i cant figure it out then ill look at it again). I am getting better at sight reading and am starting to interpret quicker but should i be going into more depth on each piece and studying it more. I also don’t practice scales or theory much, i just practice playing the 5 pieces i know and improvise sometimes but my improvs are’nt very good. When i find a piece say like Alla Turca that has you playing up and down the scale at a certain part in the piece, i figure out what key it’s in and then learn the proper fingering for that scale.
