I'm Alana LaGrange and will be using this blog to:
- Share ideas on music
- How to play piano
- Information on pianos
- Questions about music or lessons
- Classical training vs Jazz Training
Or anything about music we wish to talk about.
I am a Teacher, publisher, music arranger, and a recording/performing artist, and will share many of my stories from recording to teaching, or what it's like to practice or compose music or what my days are like owning a web site, writing lessons etc.
I love to hear other stories, and hope you will share with us.
First I would like to talk about practicing. I have many practice ideas, plus have some words of wisdom.
First of all, many beginning students think if they don't practice 1-3 hours a day, they will never learn to play piano. Not True. This type of dedication is for those that are in performance. It's so true what they say, if you don't practice 1 day, you know..........
if you don't practice 2 days, your teacher knows.....................if you don't practice the 3rd day, your audience knows.......................
But with some consistency and guidance, everyone can learn to play without this type of grueling schedule. I know that if you can practice even 2 hours a week, you will progress, and
if you can practice 15 minutes a day and an hour here and there, you will make excellent progress.
I have also learned that students will practice more often if they have success and love the music they are playing. OK TEACHERS, it's up to you.
I will give you ideas on keeping students motivated and loving to play piano.
If you have practice ideas or need to get motivated to practice, write a comment, should be fun.
