would you believe me if i told you that learning a really hard/fast song on the piano... is exactly like training a horse for barrel racing? yeah i know... crazy hu?? but REALLY!!! this makes so much sence to me!
so im learning this really difficult song on the piano... a TON of notes, supposed to be really fast... very challenging. but this is where its so neat! before you can play a difficult speedy song like that you have to learn the notes first. (the fundementals) you have to teach your fingers where to go.. and most importantly before you play really fast.... it has to be smooth.
well teaching my horse (or any horse) to barrel race. you have to work on fundamentals first. teach them the ground work. show them where their feet should go! and most importantly... get it smooth before speed. you practice slow... slow.. and slow some more... just like learning a song on the piano... once you finally get it down slow, speed comes!! its so cool...
so thats just what i was thinkin about :D
