In this video, I tell you the 3 things that I constantly find myself telling my students as well as the members of the PianoPig Academy. These 3 ideas are easy to understand, but can be much harder to actually apply to our practice.
1. Practice slow. It's so important to slow down and give ourselves time to think about what were are doing as well as give ourselves the chance to incorporate new ideas into our playing and internalize what we are practicing.
2. Isolation. One of the best ways to improve is to isolate our problem areas. These can be tempting to skip over but if we isolate them and practice them over and over, we practice the things that need to be worked on the most.
3. Comparisons. Don't compare yourself to other players. It doesn't do anyone any favours. Music isn't about ego, it's about having fun and adding value to our lives. Let the great players inspire us and motivate us, not put us off practicing.

Youre going to be able to transform those boring minor & major triads into something that has much more emotion, something that actually hits the soul a little bit more!
Its a 3 step process which consists of 7ths, 9ths and chord inversions.
The first two steps are fairly straight forward; learn how to add the 7th and 9th to major and minor triads. The 3rd step is the part where your creativity comes into play. You need to play around with all the possibilities of 7ths & 9ths and then play around with different inversions of all of this variations.
