Get Good at Piano Transcriptions
If you want to be a great pianist (or any skilled musician for that matter) you need to learn how to read and interpret musical notation. This is a key skill that will allow you to play whatever songs and pieces of music you want to learn, whether it’s fast and challenging classical pieces or simple sing-along songs. It will also allow you to understand and interpret how the musicians who are credited with the song played it, thereby helping you become a better pianist by internalizing what they do.
Reading piano music is not an easy thing to do. It requires a lot of practice, patience and discipline. But it is very rewarding once you get the hang of it. The first step in learning how to read sheet music is identifying the basic symbols, such as notes and rests, and becoming proficient at recognizing them. Once you are able to do this, you can move on to transcribing a few bars or even one beat of music at a time.
This can be difficult at first, but it is a crucial part of transforming from beginner pianist to advanced pianist. It is also important to always remember that you should only use one finger to land on each note – if you try using all of your fingers, it will slow you down and make you less accurate. This is why practicing your scales and using mnemonic devices to memorize the finger numbers is so helpful – it will help you remember which finger is on which note and make playing easier.

Another tip for beginners is to choose their music carefully. It should be music that isn’t too hard or too difficult for them, but also not too easy because it will bore them or give them a bad reputation. Beginner classical music is perfect for this, as is beginner pop songs and theme-tune arrangements (think flowy arpeggios and single-note melodies). It is best to avoid any complicated chords or syncopation at this point as well as anything that is too jazzy sounding – it will be a lot harder to read and transcribe.

It is also very important to have a clear goal in mind of what you want to achieve with your playing. This could be as simple as a specific genre of music you want to learn, or it could be something more creative, like how you want to express emotions through your music. Whatever it is, keep it in the back of your mind, and think about it every time you sit down to practice so that you can stay motivated and focused on what you’re trying to accomplish. This will help you stay consistent in your practice, and get to where you want to be in the least amount of time.
