How long does it actually need to learn music? A year, two years, three years or what?
That's the question that I often hear from people who want to learn music. Also from parents who want their children to play music. Then, if there is a measure of time to learn music? Yet to this day I still continue to learn and recognize the fact that many are not I know about music.
But let's, I try to invite you to measure the time to learn music, based on hours of study are applied to the formal school or music lessons. The average one-hour music school lessons apply to face meeting with the instructor within one week. Or four hours in a month. While the degree courses usually must be followed for six months. So if the count is calculated, it takes 24 hours to complete one level (grade). Where each of the levels that typically have their own textbooks.
So you can imagine a textbook study of music in just 24 hours!
That's rough calculations. Because in reality, no one can eat textbook that day and night and can instantly play musical instruments perfectly. Talented he is, what else is not talented. One hour face to face the music school was applied to evaluate the extent to which the development of a given exercise. Moreover, the addition of new training material which will then be evaluated again next week. And so on, until the 24-week period is completed and must take the exam. If not passed, it repeats all over again!
Then, when mahirnya that learning just one hour a week?
In general the instructor will recommend to expedite the materials given out of hours learning. At least one hour a day! So if the count is calculated, seven hours a week or 168 hours to master the content of music lessons.
Is that already passed the book can already proficient?
Not necessarily! Because the contents of a book on the first level music lessons often dominated by the subject matter is only the basics of reading musical notes. At least if it is past the first book, we are good at reading musical notes. It's the most basic and a provision to move to the next level. To a two-volume book.
So how many books have advanced to the master?
To my knowledge, there are about 10 to 12 books that should be resolved in a particular music school. But I do not know whether their own instructors have completed the 12 books it or not. That means it took about six years to complete a formal musical education, and even then if no repetition.
Then, when we can accompany the singing?
It depends. If you have a strong musical talent, at the beginning of any level you will be able to accompany the song. With records, you pretty much mastered the chords on the fingers of your left hand and pretty much mastered the tone scale on the right hand fingers. You can play music just by listening to songs from cassette tape or CD. Without the need to find a notation first. But if you are less gifted, to finish 12 books also may be difficult to play your own songs. That happens, you can play the score or scores a song with a smooth and then memorize it. But if there is no score or partiturnya, you will have difficulty.
I've seen an orchestra pianist Telerama on television decades ago (forgot which year, because it was so long ago). If no one remembers the time he played with Jimmy Manoppo (drums) accompany the Star Radio and Television Festival. When accompanied the participants in the race, game piano keyboard and sweet. However, when calculating the value of the gap by a jury and there are participants who spontaneously contributed his voice, like a new game to learn. There is no harmonization with other players. The reason, he did not have partiturnya and do not know the song!
Can we conclude that the talent or the talent also has a huge role in terms of learning music. Without the talent that does not mean you can not learn music, but it takes time and determination to train your skills. Because playing music is a skill that every moment should be trained. Artist Paul Cezanne once said, "for me just one percent talent, 99 percent of the seriousness and exercise!" For any musician classmates Purwa Caraka admitted if it is not playing piano or keyboard for a day, their fingers would be stiff.
