Piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument, it is pretty hard to start this challenge during summer, because of the weather or other different things that make it difficult to be motivated. So, firstly start to organized a plan for me to learn it better.
Because i do not have a piano at home, but lucky me, at university of Victoria, there have many in the mac building. So, i may start recognize each notes and get familiar with every part of the piano, then start to play it. Here is my plan for this week practice:
1.Get familiar with the notes and the key. Music notes are marked by the letter A B C D E F G, with every chord, the blank and the white key will change to flat or sharp. So the first step for me is to recognized the basic chord and try to play it.
2.Study the timing and try some simple music. The different beats create the beautiful music, so, get familiar with the beats and play it well is pretty difficult. The next step is practice with different simple music using the basic chord.
As related to the reading, “there are three important domains: cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor.” from chapter 2. For my challenge i will mostly using psycho-motor and affective. Practice is very important for learning the piano, as long as have enough practice, the hands will have the self-memory and finish some fixed behavior. During my challenge, i will record the video and post it. If you have any suggestion or questions, please fell free and leave the comment.
