Whether you’re a novice or an intermediate, or even an advanced pianist, while taking piano lessons in El Dorado Hills, you will come to know that keeping track of the growth and advancement will help reach the goals much quicker. It makes the sense that we keep track of the musical development and there’re quite a few different approaches that we can do that as well as a lot of advantages from recording in some way our progress.

Begin by writing down one bigger goal and then divide it into some smaller goals. The advantage of writing down the bigger goal and then smaller goals to get you to the bigger one is that you’ve precise actions to follow rather than simply making an effort of something different each practice session. This way you stay on focus and reach your goal faster.

Next, keep a practice log, or a written record of what you worked on during the practice time. Add in any scale that you worked on, exercises and etudes, and any pieces as well. The advantage of keeping a practice log is that, at the end of the day, you can go back and review it to see how much you’ve gained knowledge of and precisely what scales, etudes and pieces you’ve mastered or at the very least, improved on during that time.

One more thing that you can do that does not entail writing records the playing. The advantage of recording the playing is that you actually listen to what you played rather than going by what you "believe" you played.

This is very significant in learning to play an instrument. Once more, it is getting out of your head and into your fingers, or feet, in this case. The truthfulness of a recording not just demonstrates us some errors that we may possibly have missed but even things that we played well, that we thought we messed up. If we keep such recordings it is always fun to go back and hear the initial one compared to the most recent one. You can actually hear the progress this way.

Include in the written records the names of the pieces you’ve gained knowledge of, the scales that you know the way to play and their corresponding arpeggios and chord progressions, and any exercises and etudes that you have mastered so you can observe the level of playing development from one to the next. The advantage of this is the support you get from noticing what you can now play, that you could not a month ago, or a year ago.

Share the piano playing with your family and friends. The great advantages of such sort of tracking are that the ones who love you’re going to be wowed at the development and they’ll happily share their admiration with you. Again, it is a massive advancement of support that’ll push you on towards the goals even quicker.

Keeping this in mind while taking piano lessons in El Dorado Hills will make sure your piano playing skills will improve much faster.
