Everyone starts from different points and has different levels, and the problems exposed when playing the piano are also different. Often, we cannot identify and solve these problems ourselves. The most effective way to avoid "taking the wrong path" is to develop good practice habits.

01 Learn to protect your hands

Some activities that require significant hand strength, such as playing basketball or rock climbing, can easily injure the hands. Some girls also like to keep long nails, which is not conducive to playing the piano. To protect our hands, it is necessary to do some finger stretching exercises before practicing the piano, which can help you get into the state of playing faster.

02 Persist in daily practice of basic skills

Even if you can only spare ten or twenty minutes a day to practice basic skills, it can lay a foundation for improving your piano technique.

03 Persist in practicing slowly

When the rhythm slows down, the mind also calms down, and the problems in your playing become clearer and more accurate. Practicing slowly is the fundamental way to overcome technical barriers in piano playing.

04 Practice in sections and address mistakes individually

When practicing a new piece, learn to divide it into sections and master one section before moving on to the next. This way, when you find mistakes, you can isolate and correct them individually.

05 Learn to memorize music scores

Many people believe that the best practice state is to look at the score without looking at the hands. However, purposeful memorization of music scores is also essential after practicing a sufficient number of times. This not only enhances your ability to memorize music but also allows you to retain more pieces and deepen your understanding of them.

06 Practice rigorously

The worst thing you can do in anything, including piano practice, is to be lax. When you approach practicing the piano rigorously, tackling difficulties and solving problems, you will find that your skills have improved.

The piano is like life, and we must take each note seriously, feel the sound of the piano with our hearts, and understand life with our hearts.
