Try to always scan your body while playing to see if you are applying the correct seating posture... otherwise, you may suffer from piano-related "injuries" (especially back and neck pains)... so take care of your body and sit well on the piano :)

What is a Sonata
What is a Sonata
We often hear the word sonata whenever we listen to classical music... so what does the word sonata mean? And what do we expect from the piece?
Sonata is a one of many forms of music (called Musical forms).
Muscle memory
Muscle memory
It's a phenomenon that many music players experience. .. muscle memory is truly fascinating ! It's when your hands just go on "auto pilot" when you have not played a piece in a while and you sit on the piano and suddenly your fingers just ... start playing the music! . . . Without any interaction from your mind at all! It's like a beautiful present that the piano gives to you 😀
But seriously, what happens is kind of similar to when you have not driven your car for a while (if you drive) and you start driving and that auto pilot muscle memory takes over... your hands and feet know what to do ... or when you are eating or drinking, you don't think about every tiny movement... it just happens...
Practice time tips
Practice time tips
1. Setting a specific time for practice
1. Setting a specific time for practice
If you leave it up to chance or mood, it will never be enough to progress... set 2 or 3 (or 5!) Days in the week and time of the day that you set the phone reminder to remind you to practice even for only 10 min. So for example it maybe Monday and Thursday at 8 pm (or any other time that may suit your schedule).
2. Making a practice routine
So you set the day and time for practice... then you sit on the piano and have no clue where to start. What you need is a practice routine. Start off with simple exercises (may be only CDEFG or the 5 finger exercises several times) to warm up the fingers. Next, will be the in class workout exercises (the numbered ones). After this start doing the practice song/s that are required for every class.
You don't need to finish all 3 steps at once, you can divide it on several sessions throughout the day!
3. Not having enough "fuel" 😀
And by fuel I mean food and drink. Yes! Piano takes alot of energy from you, so it's better to be well-rested and well-fed to have full energy for practice time.
