Overview of Key Practice Strategies

By implementing these strategies, musicians can optimise their practice time and accelerate their progress on the piano.

The top 7 practice strategies outlined are:

1. Chunking - Breaking down material into smaller, manageable chunks to practice effectively.

2. Pendulum practice - Alternating between very slow and very fast tempos to improve speed and control.

3. Incremental stacking - Adding one new note at a time to a sequence you've already practiced.

4. Infinite speed practice - Playing a cluster of notes rapidly by slightly staggering the timing of each finger.

5. Varying intensity, frequency, and duration of practice sessions.

6. Flag to flag practice - Starting practice from different points in the music, not just the beginning.

7. Record and review - Video recording yourself playing and reviewing the footage to identify areas for improvement.

These strategies are just the tip of the iceberg, and are covered in much greater depth in coaching and courses.
