What to practice and why
  • Scales, chords, arpeggios: time to practice playing beautiful
  • Sight reading: good sight-readers master new work quicker
  • Etudes: tame the technical limits of your playing
  • Ear training: we can’t play what we can’t hear
  • Repertoire review: build your program
  • Deep listening: your developing skills will change how you hear music
  • Playing with others: build relationships with likeminded souls and have more fun
  • Finally, be patient, enjoy the process.

Best,
