3 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Music Lessons

Whether you are using a book, video, a real live human, or

online lessons, keep these pointers in mind in order to get the

most out our your studies.

1. Complete and master each section before moving on to the

next: As you work through your studies make sure you have each

new technique or idea conquered before moving on to the next.

Lessons are planned to build upon each other and trying to rush

through without fully understanding one will just lead to

frustration and wasted efforts.

2. Study as if you were in school. Do some homework every night.

If all you have is 15 minutes then use those 15 minutes. If you

don't have time to read/watch and apply then do the application

of your last lesson or drills such as scales and chords.

Reading/watching and not having the opportunity to apply

immediately will usually mean you have to relearn your lesson.

Take notes. Especially if you're watching a video or working

with a human. Also don't be afraid to write all over your

workbooks and sheet music.

3. Apply what you've learned: Play for others. Your church, your

family, that spare piano sitting in your favorite department
