Practice makes perfect

Practice is key to mastering any instrument. To assist this several different tips can assist with consistent and regular piano practice. This is important for developing as a musician and building skills to be able to express yourself through the vehicle of an instrument.

Some tips for motivating yourself for piano practice is to work it into your routine. Ways to incorporate the practice into your every day is to have a strong idea of why it is that you are learning in the first place. For instance, practices such as learning with music you love can be great to create an environment of enjoyment around the piano. Mastering one of your favourite songs can also be a milestone that you set for yourself to progress. Other goals may be to play a concert or enter a music exam. Immovable goals like these are helpful as it means that you have an external body to provide accountability. This can also act as a way to track progress. Tracking progress helps motivate practice as it can bring about a sense of perspective. For instance, perhaps the last concert or exam that you entered did not go as well as hoped, however, when compared to the very first concert or exam, there has been a great deal of progress. These tips support areas of practice such as accountability and perspective. Other areas of practice such as inspiration, can be built upon through something as simple as moving your piano to be near a window or a different engaging area.
