Remember your first music lessons.

Funscrape.Com More Happy New Year Comments

Hey Guys and a very Happy New Year!

Apologies for not having posted in a while. As a TV composer work can sometimes take over.

However I am back to provide you with more tips to get your perfect pitch training back on course!

Today I am not going to talk about technique or tips that will help you to develop your music ear training. So what am I going to talk about?

It's the most important lesson of all.......GIVING YOURSELF TIME TO DEVELOP.

Think back to your first music lesson or the first time you picked up your instrument and tried to play a tune. I bet at the time you struggled to get the notes right or to create the correct shape with your mouth, or maybe the fingering was a little tough. But, I bet you soon saw a steady but slow improvement? With each lesson or practice you got a little better until without you realizing you were suddenly playing that tune and well too!

Perfect pitch training is exactly the same thing.....No question. You are developing a new aspect to your musicianship which takes slow but steady steps. The problem is the going can be tough sometimes and you feel like your getting nowhere fast?


But


This may give you some encouragement? Developing my perfect pitch training has been something that hasn't come naturally to me. I had to work at it; sometimes with the excellent courses that I subscribed to I felt I was getting nowhere. However I first started to notice my ear developing when I recognised notes aand could play them straight back on the keyboard. Then I started to notice that I was able to hear a phrase and know where and what intervals to play on the piano. I have to say this felt pretty cool. For the first time I started to feel like a real muso! Gradually as time went on I worked harder and harder spurred on by being able to acknowledge that I was improving.

At some point this will be you. If you desire to have perfect and relative pitch YOU CAN DO IT. Hell if I can then anyone can! Just remembber to give your self time to develop. YOU WILL GET THERE IN THE END!

Peace and may '09 be a year full of success and happiness.
