Imagine trying to walk in a maze without being able to see. You might find your way to the end eventually. But not without hitting a lot of dead ends and stumbling quite a bit.
When it comes to playing music, what you have to hear the sounds before you play them the way you have to see where you're going to get out of the maze. Singing and buzzing help you brain to remember the sounds so that when you play, you have much higher success at playing the right notes. It's not magic. But it works. Try it with just a small bit of music at a time:
- Sing. When you sing, sing the music the way you would articulate it (tHah - pronounced "tah" but with more energy). Make sure you sing the exact pitches from the music. If you don't know how the music sounds, play the notes slowly on a piano and sing with them. The piano linked has the letter names written on the keys if you don't already know how to play.
- Buzz. When you buzz, make sure you buzz the exact pitches that are from the music.
- Play. But go slow first.
