Best way to learn piano pieces??

I've been attempting some pretty long, difficult pieces lately, and I wanted to know the best way to learn them. Like memories them.

I read somewhere that learning away from the piano, helps you memories music allot.... better/quirkier? This idea seems very strange to me, because.. I've always done all my piano practice at the piano. Anyway.
Going slow and learning the pieces bit-by-bit, well that seems to be the way to go, and what allot of people recommend.

Anyone have any idea, which is the best, most efficient way to learn pieces?

never heard about it, very interesting way, tnx!

Practice makes perfect!


I used to teach piano lessons beginners. What did I advise my students and parents was to make piano playing a part of one's life.

It's important to set goals to make learning manageable and less frustrating,

I would definitely recommend breaking a long and advanced piece into sections. Learning away from the piano can help if you listen to recordings of the piece you're practicing. Watch videos of past performers of your piece. Better to be great in a small area you've mastered, than to be average everywhere.

Hi,
On the piano, folks will often use the sustain pedal so that the note can be played, and then your fingers immediately leave the note and go onto another note. On the organ, you will need to keep your fingers on the key for as long as you want it to make a sound. Synthesizers may allow you to set this behavior.

Correct practice makes you perfect. That's my piano teacher used to say. She let me play every measure 5 times. Familiarization of the notes rather than memorizing them would be of great benefit.
