How to play Sonata No. 6 on piano
- Split the piece into sections and learn them one at a time, hands separately first.
- Loop the bars that keep going wrong. The app's per-bar feedback shows exactly where they are, so you don't waste time on the bars you already know.
- Move up the play-along speeds in steps, 50% then 75% then 100%, only when a section is clean at the current speed.
- It's a fast piece. Resist playing it at full tempo until it's accurate at a slower one; speed built on wrong notes doesn't last.
- Sonatinas are built from scales and broken chords. Settle on a fingering for each run the first time you play it, and use the same one every time.
- Start with the level 3 version. When you've learned about 80% of it, move on to the next harder version; the notes you already know make it quicker to learn.
- Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.
In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
