How to keep to time playing a piece of music with your instrument
When learning a piece of music it’s easy to get carried away in wanting to hear the finished product even if you’re only halfway through the work and can’t play it properly yet. This leads to excitement where you rush ahead and invariably feel tied down in keeping to time and playing the piece slowly. This leads to excitement where you rush ahead and invariably feel tied down in keeping to time and playing the piece slowly.
The problem with this attitude is that is sows the seeds of bad habits, notably an inability to keep to time. When you play along with your teacher, friends, family or to a CD/tape, the risk is always that you run ahead of the music you play to. This creates chaos and ensures everything sounds off-kilter. In these cases, what needs to be exercised are CDSC – Concentration, Discipline and Self Control. Now if you’re put off by these last four words, don’t be! These are great qualities which can be integrated into your learning to help

An attempt at the solo from the ‘Raven’ section of Genesis’ ‘The Colony Of Slippermen’. I learnt this very shortly before the performance you see here, so its not exceptionally clean and there may be one or two bum notes, but, it is at least a passable version. However, this is not claiming one hundred percent accuracy, especially with some of the left hand parts. The backing drum track was made manually, so isn’t very exciting, though its purpose is more to act as a simple metronome rather than emulate Collins’ possessed style of playing during this period of Genesis. It falls slightly out of synch progressively, but I guess this is to be expected with a camera which is designed to take pictures first and movies second. As for the ending it looks as if I’m about to headbutt the keyboard because I was relieved to save a passable version after nearly dropping the solo at points.
