Piano trouble-Why am I feeling the way that I am, feeling?
I am a pianist(beginner to advanced) and I find reading music hard because I am always looking down at my hands to guide myself instead of looking at the sheet music that is in front of me,I have tried to break the habit but I can’t seem to break the habit,the Christmas shopping season will be here soon and I was planning on playing endless Christmas songs on the piano,but I am having trouble playing with both hands,does anyone know what I should do?
You’re going to have to break that habit if you’re going to
sight read.
(If not, better improve your memory, … a lot.)
It’s a steep spot on the learning curve, and you’ve got to climb it.
Try to force yourself to stare at that sheet music, and accept,
and learn to correct your mistakes.
It’s a bitch, but it will come eventually.
