  • Practice without instrument

    Posted by Danijel on December 27, 2024 at 11:29 am

    Halo!

    My work requires a lot of traveling. I take my instrument with me as much as possible, but sometimes it is NO-GO.

    Can somebody suggest any kind of exercise for practicing playing piano without instrument?

    Hi Daniel

    My wife and I travel a lot as well. We I am away from my keyboard, here is what I came up with:

    – I study theory and journal the reading , same as practice journal.

    – use Band In a Box combined with a keyboard app on my iPad. With this,I can practice leads and improvisation.

    The keyboard app also lets me work on ear training…humm a melody, play the melody…

      Hi, Thanks for an idea!

      I am also studying music theory when I am away from my instrument, but I never used Band In a Box before..

      I am also performing some finger exercises on table – for example playing scales or thrills.

      Regards,
