This is so true. I often find myself spending a chunk of time on the early part of a score and have to remember that it pays off later. My teacher says that progress isn’t a linear path. You have to allow for days where it seems you’re not making headway and enjoy the days when the effort comes together.

Whether you're trying to learn a piece or improve your mechanics it's important to recognize your weak spots and work on them. If you don't you'll never get where you want to be. This is one of the thing that sets great musicians and athletes apart from the average person.

Truly truly this video helped me a lot!!!!! My habit was always practicing “several pieces” broadly. So I felt less achieved after a couple of hours of practice. I’m trying to build up a new practice method just like said in here; focusing on the challenging part before the entire song. Thank you sir!!!!

Such good advice, absolutely necessary. Only way to get a grip on the "rough spots".

I know exactly the passages you are talking about. For me especially it is where there are a series of octaves which sound great but are painful because I have small hands.

Most of us simply aren’t born able to learn to play the piano. It’s like math that way. Or figure skating.

NO. If you actually want to play the piano, the only thing holding you back is laziness. Also applies to math. Don't know about figure skating though.

Depends on the score! If it is a level you have mastered, then it is true...but don't most of us overshoot to those pieces over our level and eventually master them!

Hi Robert. As a beginning pianist, the pieces I learn require more or less the same attention throughout -- whether they be short and simple arrangements of classical composers, or jazz songs ('Fly Me To The Moon', 'Lullaby Of Birdland'). In fact, the jazz pieces (perhaps being aimed more squarely at the pianistically competent) I sometimes find harder. So (in my practice) I don't know what that means for your percentages. For me, it is 100% attentiveness, all the time -- or else it's time to do something else!

So glad you brought this up. Attentiveness is an essential aspect of practicing. Not all styles of music require the same type of practice. However, you are likely to encounter something in your playing that invites deeper exploration which can occupy far more time than other parts of your practice.

Good tips for playing just about any instrument. The challenge is knowing the parts you're not proficient and practice them in isolation. A lot of students at a lower level don't know a piece very well and not sure if they're playing the right notes. From past experience, there are times you'd play a section over 10x and each time sounded a bit different. At a basic level, getting the right notes involve a lot of hit & miss. When we get more advanced, we're less preoccupied with finding and playing the right notes. We know the sound we want to achieve and practice to get there.
