 CLICK PIANO TO SEE MY "HOW TO PRACTICE PIANO" PINTEREST BOARD! Photo by Jenny Leigh Hodgins by Jenny Leigh Hodgins Here is Part 3 of a series offering my best tips for effective piano practice. Read Part 1 & 2 here: My Best Tips On How To Practice Piano Part 1 My Best Tips On How To Practice Piano Part 2 Why Zoning Out Won’t Get You Piano Progress If you play through a musical passage while zoning out mentally, immersed instead in the enjoyment of the music, you will not advance your piano progress. When practicing piano, you must be vigilant about where you place your focus. You must have a clear focus. Setting goals for your practice week and selecting a specified goal for each moment of your current piano practice session are the first steps to your piano progress. In My Best Tips On How To Practice Piano Part 2, I walked you through the fundamental steps necessary for effective piano practice. As part of that process, you will sometimes need to stop playing the piano. As mentioned, there are two reasons to stop; you’ve either made a mistake or lost focus on your specific goal. How To Evaluate Your Piano Performance During and after you play your selected musical passage with a clear goal in mind, you must learn to evaluate your performance. Evaluate how you performed toward your chosen task. An effective piano practice strategy required evaluation. You must play an active role in the constant problem state of getting your piano skills from your current level to the next. In other words, you must actively engage your thinking about your piano skills. Your piano teacher will be of tremendous help in guiding you toward what specific things to be aware of concerning your current piano level. But you must be a proactive learner to gain consistent momentum in your piano progress. Going back to your piano practice scenario, after you play through the selected passage, ask yourself, “Did I successfully accomplish my goal?” Be Proactively & Fully Engaged At The Piano Check yourself carefully here:
If so, it was not a successful run-through, even if you made no mistakes! You must be cognizant of what you are doing at the piano so that your mind and your physical muscles store the memory of your successful playing! Many piano students (I’m guilty of this myself) develop the habit of playing something correctly yet without spending mental attention on the music. Regrettably, this often results in going completely blank when attempting to perform under out-of-the-ordinary circumstances. Sadly, this sometimes happens during a performance while experiencing stage fright symptoms. It’s great that your physical muscles remember the music! But if you rely only on the physical memory alone without engaging your intellectual concentration, you risk having a complete memory lapse. Back to checking yourself on whether you’ve played through the selected passage correctly:
In both these outcomes, making a mistake or losing mental concentration, you must return to the beginning and follow the practice strategy laid out in my blog, How To Achieve Your Most Effective Piano Practice in My Best Tips On How To Practice Piano Part 2. When A Mistake Is NOT A Mistake However, a word about mistakes. If you make a mistake that had nothing to do with your selected goal in mind, you can be flexible. Let’s use the example of attempting to play the fingering correctly through a four-measure musical passage. If you played a wrong note, stopped the fluency of the beat, or played too softly when the dynamic marking indicates a louder dynamic but still played the correct fingering, any of those mistakes are not necessarily worth noting. One Thing At A Time, Not Multi-Tasking If you played the correct fingering despite those other mistakes, it’s a victory. You met your goal. Especially for beginners, your ability to focus on one thing at a time while playing is the most critical practice habit. After playing through the passage with correct fingering a few times, you could then select the next goal to include one of the things that tripped you up earlier, such as playing:
How To Assess The Problem At this point of your piano practice routine, you’ve evaluated your attempt. You either were successful at the initial goal and have been able to play through correctly three times consecutively or, something went wrong. Here is what you must think about:
Forge your ability to assess your piano performance and adjust yourself accordingly. How To Choose Your Next Best Step If you succeed with playing your chosen piano passage three times consecutively, then set your next goal. Look for something that gave you trouble. Pinpoint the issue. Set your new target of focus. Practice in the same manner as described. Whatever challenges you or whatever you cannot successfully perform three times consecutively determines your next piano practice goal. Goals will also vary based on your piano skill level. Your previously established weekly or practice session goals will be your reference point for the next steps. Typical piano-practicing goals could include playing through the passage:
Try to continue practicing each goal in this manner for as long as you can muster your concentration. When you begin to lose your ability to focus, remind yourself of your selected goal and reset to the starting point. Unlock A New Approach If you cannot keep your mind on things after a while or continue making the same mistakes it may be time for a break.

 Summary of Effective Piano Practice Strategy  Photo by Jenny Leigh Hodgins by Jenny Leigh Hodgins Here is the second part of a series offering my best tips on how to practice piano effectively. If you missed Part 1, find it here: My Best Tips On How To Practice Piano Part 1 How To Achieve Your Most Effective Piano Practice I mentioned the importance of choosing relevant practice goals. Having goals for each piano practice session is crucial for both fast and lasting progress. Surprisingly, many piano students completely neglect this important step! Spending time at the piano without locking down on a goal is just spinning your wheels. It may be pleasurable for a short while, but in the end, those who omit goal-setting will eventually stall musical progress. As we launch into what an effective piano practice strategy looks like, you must begin to understand how your goals influence your piano progress. You can use this strategy for any piano practice session at any level of musicianship or piano skills! Practice Piano Using Your Full Focus On Your One Goal Start with one goal for the current piano practice session. It is pivotal that you begin your piano practice by selecting only one goal. Limit yourself to think only about this one goal. While deeply listening and looking at the musical notation or your hand (s) at the keyboard, place your full mental effort on the one thing you selected as your goal. Throw multi-tasking out the window! Looking Ahead To Be Better Prepared Let’s say you selected the goal of playing the correct fingering, for the right hand only, through four measures of notated music. Start by visually reading the fingering without touching the piano. Take note of any opportunities for making a mistake. Analyze that situation. Start by questioning why it would be a challenge and look for a solution around it. Once you find a solution, decide your course of action (back to setting your first goal). Looking Before You Leap Prevents Falling The point is to think about the one goal of playing the right hand fingering through the four measures of music. Do not yet play the piano. First, think through the fingering of the four measures. Taking the chosen passage, let’s say that while you visually read through the fingering, you discovered one of your fingers would need to stretch to reach its key to accomplish correct fingering. Now that you’re aware of this potential problem, you are better prepared to adjust your hand, wrist, arm, or posture to assure you will be able to play the designated fingering. Play While Focusing On One Goal After this period of visual and mental preparation, begin toward your one goal of playing the musical passage mistake-free (with correct fingering in the right hand). As you play the passage, listen carefully and pay close attention to achieving the goal (using the proper fingering). During this time, do not focus on anything else. Do not add the left hand. Do not think about dynamics, rhythm, or tempo. Just concentrate fully on the one goal (playing correct fingering) for the selected musical passage. Evaluate Your Performance Think about whether you either successfully met your goal or not. If not, you must stop. If you do not succeed at reaching your goal, you must stop. Do not continue through the passage or beyond it. CLICK HERE FOR MY RECOMMENDED MUSIC RESOURCES! Stop. —If You Make A Mistake Or Lose Your Focus There are only two reasons to stop practicing. The first is if you make a mistake related directly to your goal. For example, you are not able to play correct right hand fingering through the four measures of music. The second is if you lose mental concentration. If you lose your ability to mentally focus on your goal, you must stop. Continuing without a goal in mind is wasted time at the piano. Stopping at this point is one of the most important aspects of effective piano practice that so many piano players ignore, resulting in lack of progress, repeated mistakes, hitting musical plateaus, and boredom. But if you are proactively, cognitively engaged with your goal, your piano progress will rapidly improve! You must THINK! As simple as that sounds, it is the essence of successful piano progress! It is challenging to keep yourself intellectually disciplined. It is also tiring. You are the best judge of your ability, so when you lose mental focus, the best course of action is to stop. Reset Back To The Beginning Once you evaluate yourself to determine if you need to stop due to a mistake or a lack of attention, you must reset. Go back to the start and try again. Recenter your mind on the one goal and make a fresh attempt at it. How You Can Avoid Wasting Time At The Piano The point is to prioritize exactly one thing to practice and put your entire attention to that goal. Like walking a balance beam, if you lose your balance, you fall off. There is no point in continuing. Just go back and start again from the beginning. When you choose one defined practice goal and create the restriction of not allowing yourself to continue unless you are successful, you will make faster and better piano progress. Repeat Your Effort To Focus On Your One Goal & Do It 3 Times In A Row! Once you can successfully reach your specific goal as you play the musical passage, go back to the beginning and try again to complete your goal. Stop each time you lose focus or make a mistake on your selected task. Start again. Repeat this process until you can successfully play through your passage with your appointed goal three times in a row. If you play successfully through twice but make a mistake or lose your focus the third time, you must start completely over from the beginning! Do not move forward until you can succeed three times consecutively. When you successfully play through your selected goal consecutively several times, your have solidified the correct habit. This victory confirms you are ready to move on to the next goal! The Benefits of Attending To One Goal At A Time You will find that honing in on a specific task in this manner will get you much further in piano skills than mindlessly repeating your music multiple times. Using your entire effort to think about what you are trying to accomplish makes a big impact on piano progress. When you apply yourself to this kind of full-on thinking strategy while at the piano, your piano skills will improve more quickly. Your improvement will boost your confidence in your piano playing abilities. Your growing confidence will motivate you to continue building your skills. The fluency you will gain from attending to each practice goal will give you an edge of greater musicianship. This leads to greater enjoyment and inspiration at the piano. When It’s Ok To Play Piano For Enjoyment Many piano players waste time playing music without thinking about any particular goal. Or they lose their focus on the goal while playing. Or they become distracted by other musical aspects (like dynamics, rhythm, tempo, expression). This leads to wasted time at the piano and leads to little or no improvement of piano skills. There will be plenty of opportunities to play piano for enjoyment, and you absolutely should do this. But your piano practice session is not the right time for that. Reward yourself with playing piano mindlessly only after dedicated time to effective piano practice. First, give your all to reaching the goals you have chosen for your practice session! After your hard work in your practice session, treat yourself to the fun of playing through previous assignments or improvising on the keys. You will feel a difference in your mastery of the music after you have worked consistently within your practice routine. The key is to balance your practice between great concentrated effort, followed by the reward of relaxation and enjoyment of piano playing for fun. I would love to hear from you.

Photo by Jenny Leigh Hodgins By Jenny Leigh Hodgins If you’re interested in learning piano, or your child or teen is interested in music, there are some basic things that can help you start your musical journey with confidence. Whether you studied years ago, have a child who had sporadic lessons, or a teen suddenly expressing interest in learning an instrument, the options and information provided in this article will guide you toward having everything needed for your successful start with piano lessons. Find A Good Piano Teacher Although there are plenty of resources available at your fingertips for online learning, you will need to find a good piano teacher. There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of online tutorials, methods, and music education games. I recommend using them as well as piano and music apps as supplements to your piano education. But initially, beginner to intermediate-level students especially benefit from the guidance of a qualified piano teacher. A good piano teacher helps dramatically with the accountability factor. Having someone who knows what they’re doing can help you avoid making mistakes or overcome inevitable barriers more quickly than you would do on your own. This is especially critical in the area of piano technique. There are a variety of ways to find a capable piano teacher. Although local music stores may be the obvious choice, and they can provide wonderful educators, they may not be the best fit for you. Be aware that a music store’s goal is not to provide a quality piano education, but to sell products to you. Go into the search for a piano teacher like you’d search for a new doctor, massage therapist, or realtor. Have the mindset that you are interviewing for the right match to your piano goals and for the student. This includes personality, qualifications, location, cost, policy and communication. You or your child should feel completely comfortable and motivated when interacting with your piano teacher. Read Find A Good Piano Teacher for more details on where to look for a qualified instructor. Get The Best Quality Instrument That You Can Afford Many beginner or returning piano students wonder what instrument is best to start with until the student is fully committed for the long haul of music education. You must consider your budget, living space, family schedule, and preferences before purchasing a suitable keyboard for piano lessons. There are pros and cons to both using a digital piano keyboard or an acoustic piano. For the development of good piano technique and finger muscles, it is important to use a piano keyboard that has good action and tone. Even the best digital pianos are still no match for the authentic feel of a wooden instrument with quality craftsmanship. However, the benefits of electronic keyboards include the convenience of headphones, size, portability, and an abundance of beautiful, quality piano samples that may be used through a computer connection. If budget is an issue, I recommend purchasing an electronic keyboard for the first six months to one year. This is enough time to decide if you/your child will make the commitment to piano learning. After no more than one year, I recommend upgrading to a higher quality instrument within your budget. If you’re considering purchasing a piano or digital keyboard, I recommend you invite your new piano teacher to accompany you to the music store for guidance on your purchase. Piano quality varies dramatically from piano to piano, pending the age, brand, or care of the instrument. Whether looking at a piano under $3K, or a $30K Steinway, it’s helpful to have an experienced piano teacher’s input, as they know how the action and tone should sound. For more information, read What Keyboard Do I Need For Successful Piano Lessons? What Piano Books Do I Need? A competent piano educator will know good method books to recommend and may even provide them (for a fee). Click here for a list of some quality piano methods I have used and recommend. If your teacher recommends any of these, rest assured you are learning from an appropriate, quality, piano instruction curriculum. This list is not a complete list, but includes those I have used as both a piano student and piano teacher with great success. You Will Need Family Support You will need harmonious family support for successful piano progress. Everyone must agree to place the musical instrument in a location that is conducive to concentrated music practice. This means keeping it separate from TV or video game interference, or interruptions from other family activities. The family must be in agreement to support your daily practice schedule. Make sure you discuss your piano practice routine and allow for it to be incorporated into and around family activities or obligations. Decide On A Regular Practice Schedule Decide on a regular time of day to practice. Stick to it everyday or at least 5 days per week. It will take a while to get used to practicing consistently (or get back in the groove of practicing), but if you create your own schedule based on the time of day that works best for you or your family, it will become habitual fairly quickly. The good thing about learning any musical instrument is that the more consistently you do it, even if it’s a short amount of time, the more quickly you make progress. Part of the reason behind that is due to muscle memory. If you skip even one day it’s harder for your muscles to remember what to do. That’s why it’s important to first establish a consistent schedule. Your cognitive memory is also at play, so keeping a consistent schedule helps with memorization and retaining information. How Much Should Children Practice Piano? Young children need about 15 minutes of daily piano practice, which may be chunked into 5-minute increments throughout the day. Older children should aim for 30 minutes each weekday. Splitting the practice session may be helpful for family schedules or to accommodate the student’s learning style. Children, especially those from ages 5-9, particularly need the assistance of a parent throughout the practice session in the beginning. How Much Should Teens & Adults Practice Piano? I recommend 30 minutes to an hour for adults who want to play piano as a hobby. For teens and young adults aiming to acquire piano scholarships for college, I recommend dedicating an hour daily on weekdays and 1-2 hours at the piano on weekends. Practice Piano Effectively Learn how to practice piano effectively. A good teacher will guide you from the start on how to practice for greatest impact toward your piano progress. Make sure you are clear on your practice goals before the piano lesson ends. Clarify what you aim to accomplish by the next lesson. Your teacher will help break that down into actionable practice tasks. Mind Spent Is Better Than Time Spent Time at the piano is not as important as “mind spent” at the piano. Even though a consistent daily practice schedule is necessary, just sitting at the piano during your allotted practice time doesn’t lead to progress. Many piano students waste time at the piano, leading to frustration from their lack of piano progress. Spending your time at the piano with clear, practice goals and concentrated mental focus is what leads to piano progress. For each practice session, you must know your practice goals and focus on each one with full mental effort. When you lose your attention span, refresh your goal focus and try again. If you’re unable to keep your concentration after several attempts, take a short break or call it a day until your next practice session. Practice also includes mental activities away from the instrument, including listening to quality musical recordings of the music you are learning.

TIPS FOR LEFT & RIGHT HAND COORDINATION Practice piano by isolating one hand at a time. by Jenny Leigh Hodgins Single-Minded Focus Learn to play piano with both hands based on a single-minded focus on goal-oriented, multi-step tasks. Approaching piano practice in this manner has proven highly effective for me. One Hand Only For example, choose one hand to work on at a time. Isolate the bass part in the left hand. Then, break down your left hand practice into feasible chunks; work on only playing the correct notes for example. Practice the left hand part while fully focusing on the first selected goal (correct notes). Don’t worry about the rhythm, the fingering or any other aspect other than what you’ve chosen to focus on practicing (correct notes).  STOP. Evaluate. Stop. Evaluate. After you play through the section with full focus on that one goal, stop and evaluate. If successful at playing that particular section with no hesitation, move on to the next goal and repeat the process. Multiply Your Focus Then add the first two goals together (correct notes and rhythm) and practice that until you are able to play through successfully without any hesitation. Add the third goal, and so on. Repeat Procedure With Opposite Hand Switch to the opposite hand and repeat the process of focusing only on one goal at a time, stopping to evaluate, then repeating until you master each section and goal. Then repeat until you are successfully able to master multiple focus goals with the musical section chosen for that hand. Put Both Hands Together Finally, choose a small section, one goal (correct notes) and play both hands together. Do not jump to this part of practice until everything prior to this point has been successfully mastered. The same process applies when practicing hands together. Handling Mistakes If you make mistakes, stop immediately and evaluate why, then go back and practice until that issue is resolved. For example, if you played through a few measures correctly and then made mistakes, determine what happened. Usually the problem is that mentally you dropped the ball. Were you daydreaming about lunch? Were you distracted by someone walking past your window? Refresh Focus Go back to the trouble spot and refresh your single-minded focus on the practice aspects you’ve chosen. Once you achieve success, play through a larger section, or the entire musical composition. Be sure to apply the exact same practice strategy and address any mistakes immediately. Otherwise, you may make the common mistake of practicing your mistakes repeatedly, ingraining them further into your mental memory and making things more difficult to correct. This is how many students typically practice and defeat progress! One Last Note (heh heh) Practicing piano with clear goals, one hundred percent mental focus, evaluation and troubleshooting issues is an incredibly effective way to progress as a piano player. However, if you run into difficulty, besides lack of focus on a particular goal, the most common culprit for difficulty in piano practice is practicing too fast! If you are having problems with the above-described practice strategy, SLOW DOWN and try again! Most of the time, slowing the tempo resolves the problem. Many students have difficulty slowing their practice tempo. Use a metronome to set a defined, slower tempo. This enables you to reset your pace at a manageable speed. When you slow down, it allows you to master your goal of choice without repeatedly making mistakes due to a faster tempo. If you are still having problems slowing down, change your mindset about tempo. Students often are deluded that a faster tempo is equal to mastery. The opposite is more accurate. Playing purposefully at a slower tempo while focusing fully on one specific goal takes greater concentration, discipline and patience. Use Imagery Make setting a slower tempo an exciting new mission, to frame your attitude around it. Practice deep breathing in sync with your metronome as you set your inner pace with the new, slower tempo. Envision yourself playing under water in slow motion as a fun way to switch gears from playing faster to embracing a slower pace. From there, it can be amazing to see how simple and easy it is for you to master your chosen practice goal. I’d love to hear from you.
