Practice smarter, not longer. | |
Practice when you are fresh. Practice at the same time every day. Always have a pencil and metronome. | |
Determine fingering first. Simplify, e.g. practice hands alone and one phrase at a time. | |
Vary your regimen. Sing. Conduct. Practice at different tempos. Add pedal cautiously. | |
Rarely play up to tempo until the composition is well-learned. Practice as if you were performing for someone. Perform for someone. |
