Hands Together Practice: Bach Invention No. 1 - Adult Beginner’s Progress

Embracing Bach's Invention No. 1 as an Adult Beginner Embarking on the journey of learning Bach's Invention No. 1 has been both challenging and rewarding. As an adult beginner, I understand the importance of building a strong foundation, and this piece offers the perfect opportunity to develop hand independence and musicality. My practice routine involves: Hands Separate Practice: Focusing on each hand individually to understand the distinct melodies and fingerings. Hands Together Practice: Gradually combining both hands, ensuring coordination and harmony. Consistent Fingering: Maintaining consistent fingerings to build muscle memory and accuracy. Slow Tempo: Practicing at a slow pace to ensure control and precision. This method aligns with advice from experienced pianists who emphasize the importance of hands-separate practice for pieces with independent melodies. Through this approach, I've noticed steady progress in my playing. Each practice session brings me closer to mastering this beautiful piece. For fellow adult beginners, remember that patience and consistency are key. Embrace the journey, and enjoy the music you create along the way.
