How can I read the piano score smoothly and play smoothly ?
I find it difficult to read both bass and treble clef at the same time, and result in having to hesitate and pause every now and then.
I have tried to do separate hands but when put together, my problem still exist.
What can I do about it?
I’m a piano major and had several friends (who were mostly singers) who had the exact same problem. All I can tell you is to practice what we call (5-finger exercises), which are 5 notes you play together in both hands (for example C,D,E,F,G in both the right hand and left hand at the same time), practice them going up and down until you can get them faster and make the hand-eye coordination smoother. When you can play the 5 finger exercises, try learning the C major scale (C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C), going up and down (first slowly then get faster) in both hands. This will help you with the coordination in the hands, if that’s your problem.
If music reading is the only problem you have, I suggest you go slowly when learning a measure of music. Try playing the chord or melody that you are having problems with, then play the notes before the chord and the chord itself. After you’ve done this, play the notes before the chord, the chord, and the notes after the chord or melody. I would continue to do this until you can get them smoothly. Remember while you do this to try not and look at your hands. That way, you’ll associate the notation you see with the notes you’re physically playing, and that’ll help facilitate music reading in the future.
Sometimes hands separately does not work. Especially in virtuoso passages, or passages of difficult hand coordination, you have to play the notes together, SLOWLY. My students have the same problem when they are going entirely to fast and keep making the same mistakes. If you start slowly, and learn the correct notes and rhythm, you won’t have any problems playing it fast.
The most important thing to remember is to not look at your hands while playing. I know this may sound ridiculous, but you only need to look at your hands when you’re learning the notes. Once you know what the notes are, you should be able to look at the notation and immediately form the hand position for those notes without looking at your hand. When you look at your hands too much is causes you to lose the fluidity in the music and can actually impede reading music coherently and contextually.
I know what you’re going through. I’m sure with lots of slow practice, and practice without looking at your hands while playing, you’ll be reading and playing easily in no time.
Good luck!
