![]() The repertoire becomes a lot bigger at an intermediate-level. Some pieces to begin with: Prelude in C major BWV 846 It is very important to learn your piece at a pace you can keep up with because constantly practising at a fast pace or the original tempo without working slowly on the more difficult parts will result in an uneven tempo throughout the piece and some cut corners in the detail of the music. The biggest tip I can give that applies to all levels is to practice slowly. When I learn new pieces during a semester, I usually turn a bit crazy around the 3rd month of learning a piece and question whether it is worth it, but in the end it is always rewarding and completely worth it. It will be fun, exciting, tiring and sometimes you'll think you're going crazy repeating the same patterns over and over until you get it right. It will take several weeks and months to get it right if you practice every day. The first difficulty learning a piece instead of short pieces and exercises is that learning a piece requires a commitment. Once you have gotten familiar with reading the notes, key signatures and have some independence from both hands, it is now time to tackle on your first piece. Some books I recommend are : Mikrokosmos volume 1 When sightreading, a metronome and counting out loud always help if you play inconsistently (for example if you pause a lot between notes). Many teachers will say that writing the letter of the note on top of the note is a big no-no because you won't actually learn how to read music, but rather the letter on top (I'll admit I did that for a few years until I finally got a teacher and that's where I'd say I truly started learning how to read music and learn harder pieces). Absolute beginner / new playerįor absolute beginners and new piano students, I suggest reading and learning many short pieces (8-16 bars) from a beginners piano book to practice sightreading and get used to reading notes. Please let me know if the pieces I choose for each levels are too easy/difficult or if there is any composer you wish were on the list! I would also appreciate suggestion to include in this list as I am not too familiar with specifically beginner/intermediate repertoire as it is not something I think about too much when listening to music or when I learn pieces. I will try to include repertoire from every major period (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, Modern, Contemporary) ranging from beginner to intermediate level. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with playing popular and well-known repertoire, I myself played Rachmaninoff's C# minor prelude and Liszt's Liebestraume no.3 in my first year of music college and my first chamber music piece was Saint-Saens's Carnaval des animaux. My goal is to introduce new repertoire that could make everyone learning experience a little bit unique.
