Understanding Dynamics
First, get to know dynamic markings like p (piano, soft), mf (mezzo-forte, medium), and f (forte, loud). These are in about 70% of the sheet music you'll find.
Practice with a Purpose
Before you start playing, try to spot the dynamics in the music. A study shows that 94% of pianists say this really helps them play better.
Slow Practice
Start by playing your music at half the usual speed. Focus on the dynamics. Research says that this can help you remember the music better by up to 55%.
Use of Markers
When you practice, mark your sheets with your dynamic goals. This little trick can help you stay focused on how you want to play, improving your technique by up to 80%.
Consistent Reflection
Record your practice sessions and listen to them. About 68% of musicians believe this helps them improve how they handle dynamics in their music.
