Studies show when you carefully plan a routine activity  and do it close to the same time everyday, something magical happens. You <em>&#8220;habitualize&#8221; <\/em>the activity, making it a part of your everyday life. And you&#8217;re likely to not break it either.<\/p>\n<p>So one of the best things you can do for yourself in this new year is to pick a time EVERYDAY to devote to your piano playing. And stick with it. Over time, you&#8217;ll be so accustomed to the daily activity that NOT doing it seems weird.<\/p>\n<p>And heck, don&#8217;t stop there. Plan your exercising, your reading time, your family time, bible devotions, yoga, etc with the same attitude. It helps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 &#8211; Find a shed buddy!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A guy by the name of Napoleon Hill first coined the term &#8220;mastermind&#8221; in 1937. It&#8217;s essentially collaborating with other like-minded folks that have the same desires and aspirations as you. The idea being: two or more minds together is infinitely more powerful than each, separately.<\/p>\n<p>Us musicians call it &#8220;shedding&#8221; but it&#8217;s pretty much the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Just like nature, you can look at it as <em>shedding<\/em> what you know to make room for more! Even the bible says &#8220;Give and it will be given unto you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another person puts it: You receive through the same hole you give through. (Is yours big or small?)<\/p>\n<p>So find folks to meet with regularly and watch synergy at work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 &#8211; Teach what you know!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;But I hardly know anything Jermaine!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t matter. Teach anyway!<\/p>\n<p>To be a teacher doesn&#8217;t mean you have to know everything, it just means you have to know more about the subject at hand than whoever you&#8217;re teaching (and truth be told, some teachers don&#8217;t even fit that prerequisite). <\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;ve just learned your major and minor scales using one of my shortcuts, teach it to someone who may benefit from it.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to how much information we retain, according to researchers, different activities provide staggering results. That is, if you simply read something, you&#8217;ll remember 10% of it. If you&#8217;re demonstrated something, it goes up to 30%. If you practice doing something (that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important), 75% retention!<\/p>\n<p>And there are many more on the list, but you know what trumps all the modalities? TEACHING.<\/p>\n<p>When you teach something, you&#8217;ll retain 90% of it!<\/p>\n<p>So teaching is more for the teacher than it is for the student. A student will remember 5% of what is lectured to them but a teacher will remember 90% of what he or she teaches. <\/p>\n<p>The cool part is we&#8217;re all teachers and we&#8217;re all students. If you have children, don&#8217;t tell me you&#8217;re not a teacher! You are!<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 &#8211; Upgrade your library<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to sound better, you gotta listen to better stuff!<\/p>\n<p>Now with the advancing of technology, there is no form or genre of music you can&#8217;t get your hands on. Youtube alone has millions of files. Itunes is another resource.<\/p>\n<p>I remember hearing a quote: &#8220;You&#8217;re the average of the 5 people you hang around the most&#8221; (and I believe it).<\/p>\n<p>But I think it overflows into other areas of life. I think your musical style and creativity will also average out according to what you listen to.<\/p>\n<p>Just like what goes up must come down, what goes IN (your system) will come OUT.<\/p>\n<p>Research all-time favorites in your chosen genre, make lists, seek out those records, and carve out some time to listen to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5 &#8211; Master your hardest, most complex song in all 12 keys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This may seem pretty easy, but you&#8217;ll be surprised how many &#8220;seasoned&#8221; musicians haven&#8217;t taken the time to learn their most complex song in all 12 keys. And I don&#8217;t mean half-heartedly either!<\/p>\n<p>I mean equally in all 12 keys, which means if you can play your heart out in <em>Db major,<\/em> it ought to sound that way in <em>A natural.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not a 12-key player, this one exercise will revolution your playing. First, you&#8217;ll realize it isn&#8217;t as hard as you were making it out to be. <\/p>\n<p>Secondly, you&#8217;ll observe the same chords present in different keys&#8230; just in varying &#8220;roles&#8221; and that connection will be priceless to you.<\/p>\n<p>And third, you won&#8217;t be scared to hop on a &#8220;REAL&#8221; piano at second&#8217;s notice (in fear of not being able to play in the chosen key). You&#8217;ll be prepared.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s way this is all about &#8212; <strong>PREPARATION.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The really good musicians have put in the time, the energy. In his book &#8220;Outliers,&#8221; Malcolm Gladwell talks about the folks who are at the top of their game and quotes 10,000 hours as the average amount of time it takes to become a master. <\/p>\n<p>How many have you put in?<\/p>\n<p>These 5 tips are &#8220;game changers&#8221; and if you take them seriously, you can&#8217;t help but to realize breakthrough growth this year.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<p>Jermaine <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2011small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/2011small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"148\" height=\"99\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-871\" \/><\/a>As we all know, the first of the year is a time to set resolutions, goals, and &#8220;bucket&#8221; lists for most folks.<\/p>\n<p>And while it doesn&#8217;t take a &#8220;new year&#8221; to get pumped up, we love a feeling of <em>new beginning.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So in that spirit, I&#8217;ve come up with 5 breakthrough things you can do NOW to realize transformation in your piano playing in 2011&#8230;  <!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23169,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,341],"tags":[1495,1494,1491,1492,322,1493],"class_list":["post-863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-piano","category-motivation-self-improvement","tag-better-pianist","tag-better-piano-playing","tag-improve-piano-playing","tag-piano-goals","tag-piano-playing","tag-piano-resolution","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 Breakthrough Ways To Transform Your Playing This Year - Hear and Play Music Learning Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hearplaymain.wpenginepowered.com\/5-breakthrough-ways-to-transform-your-piano-playing-in-2011\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 Breakthrough Ways To Transform Your Playing This Year - Hear and Play Music Learning Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As we all know, the first of the year is a time to set resolutions, goals, and &quot;bucket&quot; lists for most folks.
