Practicing is a vital part in taking lessons. Practice does make perfect and it also increases the student’s ability to learn more quickly and efficiently. Some advice that should be considered when practicing is:

​

Be consistent by practicing daily

Practice short sections to develop accuracy and fluency

Practice new pieces slowly, hands separately first to establish accuracy, fingering, and rhythm

Repeat difficult sections ten times or more and stop between each repetition to consider the skill you’re having difficulty with
