Have you ever been working on learning your favorite song, only to get discouraged from it taking so long? If that"s you, then keep reading because we"re about to cover 3 Simple  Tips  that will get you learning piano much, much faster.

 Tip  #1

Don"t Try To Do Everything At Once!

When you"re trying to learn that great new song (maybe even one you just heard on the radio), it"s easy to get in the mindset of wanting to play through the whole thing as soon as possible. And why not? You just want to play some of your favorite music. Well the reality is that you learn much slower when trying to play through an entire song over and over again until you get it.

You might be wondering, "Danny, you just shot down the only way I know how to learn piano songs, so what on earth am I supposed to do now?" Only practice small chunks at a time. This especially works well with the harder sections of a song. Practice one difficult measure with no mistakes until it becomes easy for you. If it"s still hard, try half a measure at a time. This will greatly accelerate your learning.

 Tip  #2

Don"t Start At The Beginning!

Now I"m probably starting to sound crazy, but statistically, the beginning of a song is typically one of the easier parts. It may even be the easiest part of a song. Well what"s wrong with learning the easy part? You"ll have to do it sometime, right? The truth is that if you"re like most people, you"ll start at the beginning (which is probably the easiest part). And when you try to learn the next part of the song you"ll always start at the beginning and keep playing until it gets too hard. That is a pretty common way to practice, but it is also perhaps the least effective way to practice.

Since we now know how not to start learning a song, we can discuss a much better way to learn. A much faster way. We kind of hinted at it in  Tip  #1- start with the hard sections. While learning a song on piano, it"s natural to play through a section we already know. And since for most people this is the beginning, or the easy section, that is the part that will get the most practice. We can leverage this knowledge for our advantage by starting the learning process with the hard section, because then we"ll practice it the most. And really, it only makes sense to practice the most difficult sections first. It needs more attention than the easier parts.

 Tip  #3

Let The Continuity Rule Work For You!

This  tip  really brings the first two together, and when you apply all three, your learning will skyrocket. So what"s The Continuity Rule? It"s really quite simple, and it does wonders when you perform for friends and family without the sheet music in front of you. All top pianists use it, and you can apply it to your routine immediately. When you do apply it, you will instantly be far less likely to stumble and forget sections of a song when performing...

But before I tell you what it is, let"s do a quick review.  Tip  #1 says we shouldn"t practice a song by playing through the whole thing over and over again. We should practice small sections at a time.  Tip  #2 plays off of that beautifully. Not only should we practice small sections at a time, we should start that process by practicing the hard sections first. Still curious about  Tip  #3, The Continuity Rule? Then here we go.. The Continuity Rule is simply this: when practicing any particular section, make sure it overlaps with the next one. This is powerful. When you practice small, difficult sections first, and then make them overlap, then the learning process really goes through the roof.

Now these  tips  will help you learn piano incredibly fast, but only if you apply them. So my challenge to you is pick out one song for this week, not too hard but not too easy, and apply these three  tips  to the learning process. Please comment with your progress. I"d love to hear how this helped you.

Happy Practicing!
