How to fill in the blanks on a piano

I took piano lessons when I was little, but I want to do it again.

I want to qualify as a nursery teacher, but I wonder if I can do it even if I start playing the piano after a long time.

I think there are many people like this.

This time I will introduce piano blanks.

Will my piano skills deteriorate?

First of all, will my piano skills deteriorate if there are blanks?

The answer unfortunately falls .

Once you try it, you'll realize that to the point where you feel hopeless, your fingers won't move the way you want, and you won't be able to produce the sound you want.

In some sports, such as skiing, even if you have a few blank spots, your technique doesn't deteriorate that much, and in some sports you can get back into shape with a little practice, but unfortunately this is not the case with piano.

Although it varies from person to person, you may find yourself unable to read music, or in severe cases, your right and left hands may move in the same way.

However, the basics are often not overlooked, and there are always parts that the body remembers .

There is no doubt that you will improve faster than a beginner who starts from scratch.

However, of course, the longer the blank period, the more time you will need to practice to fill it.

First, manage motivation

Even if you think, ``I want to start playing the piano again,'' you may find that what you imagine and the reality are so far apart that you lose motivation.

First of all, forget about your past self and approach it with the mindset of a beginner.

Also, be sure to clearly decide what you want to be able to play

When you're feeling low in motivation, just listening to the songs you want to play or watching people playing them on YouTube can help you get motivated again.

first song to practice

So what should you practice playing first?

One way is to start using Bayer or Burgmuller again, but unless you have a lot of time, it won't last long.

I think the best shortcut is to practice songs that interest you

First, try playing songs that you only know a little about, or simple songs, to get a firm grasp of your current ability.

With that in mind, choose one of the songs you're interested in that has a level of difficulty that suits you.

Even if it's classical music, there are many musical scores arranged according to the level of difficulty.

Don't get your hopes up and suddenly choose a difficult song.

Once you are able to play one, you will naturally regain your ability by repeating the process of ``practicing with different songs and difficulty levels.''
