How can I practice piano faster?
I've been playing the piano for a few years and I'm still not that good. This is probably because I rarely practice.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can be more motivated to practice, practice regularly, and make faster progress?
I am grateful for any answer.
Hello, FKaskme!
By slowing down.
I often have the feeling to practice quickly to make great progress in a short time. But it is more efficient to practice slowly until the technique and every sound sits securely. Success is in the long term. He costs his time and exercise.
A good motivation is to play pieces somewhere. This makes it easier to practice them. You could take up. Especially fun can be shared music, eg four-handed or with another instrument or song.
Especially good piano lessons are crucial for progress, where you will see technology and design and you will be corrected. The teacher can also be helpful in the selection of pieces. Find pieces with different focuses. Listen to many pieces of music several times – such you want to play, but also unknown to you. This allows you to develop a feeling for different music. Maybe you'll find a piece like that. If it is too difficult, it would be a long-term goal to work on it.
In practice, regularity is more important than the duration. It doesn't make sense to practice several hours a bit. The breaks between the brains are important. So don't let you demotivate if it doesn't work within a session. It'll be better over the days. Take out short sections – as much as fits into the short-term memory, play slowly and with each hand first separated and without pedal, so you can create seven clean correct runs. Then you can assemble the sections and gradually increase the speed. But everything must remain absolutely clean and safe. Use the interpretation and not only the notes at a slow pace. With time you will see successes.
I also wrote this for myself to make myself clear how I want to practice because I am impatient.
Dear Greetings and Much Success

Wow! It'll help me.
Not so good yet? Is that a statement of your teacher or your self-esteem or the statement of laity? Did you, when you started, have any specific goal that you have not yet reached before? Was the target too big? Did you discuss your goals with your piano teacher?
If that is true, it will be natural. Like any motor activity, piano is also a routine thing. It therefore requires regular practice. To practice four hours a week is less sensitive than twenty minutes every day.
Fleat. Like school lessons. Sometimes you have to overcome yourself, of course. I also didn't want to practice every day and times when you feel it as annoying can come in between, quite clear. As in any hobby and profession.
Patience. Nothing can be forced on the piano. And as in all other activities one needs a little longer, the other a little less long. Piano means body use and this does not come from one week to the next.
This is a question you can only discuss with your teacher. This includes an open relationship in teaching. (And a good teacher, of course.) You need targeting, the selection of pieces must correspond to your taste, always of course: It cannot always go after the student, the teacher pretends on the basis of his training, but he is responsible for the pupil being "good" with his pedagogical concept.

Thank you. That sounds good.
Hi, piano exercises can often be very frustrating if no improvements or successes can be found directly. The simply piano app helped me to learn again after a long time. Here small but also great successes are celebrated and it is simply fabulous fun.
Play your favorite song and whatever helps me find tutorials, then it makes more fun to practice and you don't always have to read notes.
Hello,
my first tip would be to play pieces that you really like and if you don't want Google to play as others play. Personally, that helps or you just play something. You don't just have to play what you're doing. Try out and if you have an earworm, try to play it on the piano or find tutorials 🙂
Select beautiful pieces, play matching exercises and practice difficult places consciously.
Do you have a teacher?
Piano music is so diverse, there is something for you!
Yeah.
Not everyone wants to be a pianist – I would have been very happy if my piano teacher had asked me once, what kind of music I could imagine that I would make her a life. Nothing against technique and a certain versatility, but if I like swing music (as a layman – in the professional area naturally bring me unthinkable) Only as an example. And also improvisation can be a high intellectual challenge….
and just as in sports you warm up, there are very good finger exercises where you can increase your jointness and reaction
That sounds good! Thank you. I'll take it to my heart.
Then really only helps to practice! Do it! I regret it for my life that I have thrown the piano lessons ".
Think about what you want to be:
The one who sits on the piano on occasion and gives some up-to-date songs to the best or the one who looks and shames the piano player says: "I also played a few years "…
That's right. I'm lucky to do that.
No, what's the point?
Because I always learn what I did.
is like cycling, you don't learn, you don't have to start every time from the front after you have taken longer break
