Practice Tips
The 7 Steps to Learn Any Piece:
1. Make small sections
2. Know all the notes and musical markings
3. Clap and count the rhythm aloud
4. Play the right hand alone, counting aloud
5. Play the left hand alone, counting aloud
6. Play hands together, taking corrective pauses (no mistakes!)
7. Play hands together in rhythm, with slow metronome
Practice Tips:
1. Before slowing down or speeding up (rubato) master it at a steady pace.
2. For tricky spots, state out loud exactly what the problem is, in every detail.
3. Memorize every piece (even if you don’t, you’ll learn it faster if you try)
4. Have a purpose behind each repetition (blind repetitions are lazy practice).
5. Video yourself for performance practice and to hear what is and is not working.
This is the ideal starting position for me. As a relative beginner with no teacher this is helping me
enormously in developing good technique and not falling into bad habits. I no longer feel (A) That it's a
struggle to learn a new piece and (B) That I am alone in my endeavors. My advice is to try The Woodshed
program. It is fantastic and will not only bring up your playing but his explanations of musical concepts
as you go along put things into perspective.

You’ll go to a page where you can listen to the piece and get started playing it.
You’ll progress step by step, one small bit at a time, so you not only learn this piece, but also
learn how to learn future pieces. Have fun!
