Practice the piano
I have heard so many different stories on how pianists become so excellent in their field but there was one advice that really struck me the most. His advice was to don’t only always practice to make things perfect, but to always practice the correct way. And I guess it’s true. It does not really matter a lot how much you practice, but how you practice. We need to look carefully at the content of our practice time. We need to take note what tools and techniques we can use during practice to eliminate our mistakes. Simply playing a piece over and over again from beginning to end will not be that effective. We, instead, can concentrate on identifying and solving the specific problems and skipping the parts that we already do well. Most of the best piano dvd courses do just that.
