5 Important Things in Playing The Piano


Attitude: The right mind set
The right attitude will go a long way. There will be times you encounter difficulties in mastering a particular technique. That is part and parcel of learning how to play the piano. Think positive and push yourself to correct your mistakes. With the right attitude, you can overcome any obstacles be it memorizing the notes, perfecting your scales or even dancing your fingers down the keyboard. There may be naysayer criticizing your efforts at learning how to play the piano. Ignore those negative comments and pursue forward towards your goal.

Determination: Keep pushing
So you have given yourself the push. Now to stay on track until you master the piano needs determination. Arouse the fire in your belly to counter any setbacks that may come your way. Determination will push you to your limits and bulldoze any negative thoughts harboring your mind. If you fail to coordinate both hands to play the scales properly, determination will make certain that you continue scaling your fingers down the keyboard over and over again until you perfect the scales. With every difficulty you resolve, you will be one step ahead in your pursuit to learn how to play the piano.

Discipline: Keep doing
Practice makes perfect. The cliché is proven to be true time and again. Learning how to play the piano will harness this trait in you.

About Carter Burwell

Carter Benedict Burwell (born November 18, 1955) is an American composer of film scores. 

Burwell was born in New York City, the son of Natalie (née Benedict), a math teacher, and Charles Burwell, who founded Thaibok Fabrics, Ltd. He graduated from King School in Stamford, Connecticut, and Harvard College, where he was a cartoonist for The Harvard Lampoon.
As a film composer, Burwell has had a long working relationship with the Coen Brothers, providing music for every film they have made (except for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, where he provided additional music to a score of traditional songs produced by T-Bone Burnett). He enjoys working with left-field directors, such as Spike Jonze. Among his best known film scores are Miller's Crossing(1990), And the Band Played On (1993), Conspiracy Theory (1997), Hamlet (2000), The Spanish Prisoner (1997), Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007), In Bruges (2008), Twilight (2008) Where The Wild Things Are (2009) and The Blind Side (2009).
Burwell, like many composers, studied piano as a child, but eventually quit. His interest in music reignited when Steve Kraemer, a fellow high school student, taught him basic blues improvisation on the piano. To the annoyance of his family and friends he kept this up through college.
Ultimately the punk rock movement and its encouragement to get on stage no matter how poorly educated or prepared gave him the impetus to start performing. He did this in New York with several bands notably The Same, Thick Pigeon and Radiante.
