music programming

It is very essential to announce it in a way that a (possibly imaginary) teacher beside you can hear and understand it.
Thus you build a multi-sensorial learning pattern
and take as many bytes as possible into your long term memory.
Normally students have a resistance against speaking while they play or practise. But if they speak they force themselves to really think and understand because you cannot speak what you have not understood (while executing a motoric program like piano playing).
When you speak during practising what aspect you are focussing on you program simultaneaously:
1) breathing (because you can only speak if you have inspired before!)
2) self-control (because you are better aware of what you said than what you thought....)
3) consciousness which is the human priviledge (so many things are linked to the speaking area of the brain since we learnt to speak......!!!!!!)
4) hammering the data into your brain (the more senses are used for the same focus the deeper it will get into your system!
No single note will be given to you for free.)
5) what you have not announced is not valid as "done", you must repeat it with announcement!
6) Your whole motoric pattern will come into a higher order than you have ever reached through this programming.

1) finger number and note name

definition of the
localization
of a note

a) finger numbers FN
before this you have to work hard on a professional fingering
b) note name NN
(at least announce at difficult passages)
c) also say FN and NN both
play precisely at saying NN
(chords at saying last NN)

2) rhythm structure

definition of the
time structure
of a note

This is the most important "professional secret" for pianists and musicians at all!
With this you become really professional! But it is important to understand how precisely this must be studied: come and have a lesson.....
first work on the levels separately, then "fly"

two measures

full notes

half notes

quarters

and

8ths

and

16ths

3) articulation

definition of the
distance
of notes

at programming every note is called with "l" or "p" or "s" as shortages for legato, portato and staccato.

nice exercise for all possible combinations of articulation in two hands:

exercise number:

right hand:

left hand:

4) loudness, dynamic

definition of the
intensity
of notes

just play one single note in all of these dynamic grades
and understand that it is not that easy to graduate the notes´ intensity!

announce the actual dynamic at the beginning of every measure. Also announce decrescendo and crescendo signs.

The "pianoforte" plays piano and forte (and some more grades...)

4) pedalising

definition of the
"covering sound line"
of notes

Who has ever systematically practised pedalling?
announce and play pedal without playing hands!, Then only with left hand, then both hands.

traditional writing:

modern writing:

say:

Pedal stop

change

...... if you have programmed yourself, you can also "program" your computer so that it earns money for you.
