What is your Piano playing style? Most likely when you first started to learn to play the Piano you were stuck in the middle C position. While a nice position and most comfortable it does not lend itself to making the big full sounds we all long for. So now that youve been at it a few years or even months what has become the most likely way for you to play the Piano?
Do you play Piano by Chords? Maybe both of your hands play simple triads and you have to transpose all of your Music to the keys of C or F. Or maybe all you need is the hint of a chord symbol and youre off and running with the more complex extended Chords.
How about sheet Music. Do you need it in order to play at the Piano. Do you play the full grand staff as it is written, rarely veering from a single note? If not do you then take a few liberties and add some interesting notes and Chords to give the piece your signature style?
What if you play by ear or using Chords. What do you do with your left hand? Are you into octaves with an occasional note within (or out of) the scale mixed in? Or do you embellish with a left hand one fingered pattern running expertly around whichever scale may it be such as the pentatonic.
Maybe youre more comfortable sticking with Chords in the left hand and doing all the work in your right hand. Adding a chord on below the melody or doing fancy arpeggios with the all too easier to play right hand.
Whichever may be your Piano playing style maybe this impromptu list will give you new ideas and inspiration for other ways of expanding your craft and increasing your technical skill.
