Line Limp

The belief that barlines are signs for one to stop or yield

Beginner piano students can be tempted to see written music as fitting into separate little “boxes” of information. While initially this seems to them an easy way to digest all the signs and symbols, it means they don’t think about the next “box” until the current “box” is completed. This separation is what causes some students to limp slowly over each barline before proceeding forward.

This problem with a pianist’s gait can be very distracting. Without seeing the written music as continuous and flowing from bar to bar (measure to measure) and line to line, they cannot establish a steady and predictable pulse. The listener therefore is distracted, and is incapable of being swept up and carried away by the music.

Symptoms

Pausing at almost all barlines.

Difficulty moving fluidly from one bar (measure) to the next.

No sense of continuous pulse.
