Monkey Syndrome is when, instead of truly understanding the building blocks of music, you just keep repeating what you know and keep memorizing lots of things without realizing how ineffective it actually is. I had come down with what I call " Monkey Syndrome."
I didn't know what to practice. Though I had been taking years of lessons, that didn't seem to help me much when it came to really understanding music and being independent of my teacher. But I soon found out that my practice techniques were all whacked out. So how is this possible? How can someone spend HOURS a day doing the very thing they want to get better at, yet not progress at all? It's confusing. a LONG phase, where I'd spend HOURS a day learning new music, yet my sight-reading skills did not progress what.so.ever.
Oh well.”Īnd that's how I carried on with my piano life, spending precious time practicing the things that I knew deep down were not really progressing my skills or taking me. Some people are really good at sight-reading, and some just aren’t. I accepted it and thought, “That’s just how it is, I guess. And it FRUSTRATED me and slowed me down beyond what you can imagine.
