This is the best advice. Last night I spent half an hour on a transition where both hands have to move a distance. I used your advice from another video, getting my fingers to the new positions BEFORE it's time to play. I find in any new skill, time appears to slow down when we have the capacity to pay high quality attention to the details. I think many adult beginners like me don't appreciate that good players aren't playing automatically or by magic. It takes study, understanding and repetition.

Great advice, not just for piano practice but for all instruments.

Great video. I'll add that in some pieces, we must sometimes focus on half a measure, or a quarter, or even just 2-4 notes, to be more precise about a transition / mistake.

This is exactly the type of mistakes I was having, thank you so much for the advice!

Sometimes, especially with very technically difficult music (ie, concertos), it's not enough to just go back a measure before the transition, but it really helps to identify as precisely as possible the problematic movement/transition and practice it many times in isolation, as well as in context, in many different tempos.

Loving this type of content. It covers what many others do not, and in an analytical and bite sized way. Thanks! Please keep these learning oriented topics coming. I'll keep you in mind for a future consultation too!

Your sloooow practice method and transition practice got me to playing the entire (that is with repeats) Minuet in G Major by Petzold in just 2.5 months into starting piano. Still only playing at 70bpm which is slower than what it's meant to be played it at but I never thought I would be able a piece like this this quickly! ありがとうございます!

Great! Once you master at a slower tempo, it's only a matter of time before you can play in tempo.

I’ve been playing guitar for a long time. Heard a lot of people’s “theory” on how to practice. I’m about to give this one a very good effort and stick with it to find out results. Up to this point I have to say I have not really found one method I can put my finger one and say it’s helped.

Different method works for different people, but this is one of the things I find applicable to many people. Let me know if it worked or not on your guitar playing :)

Thanks! That’s actually how I do most of the time, go back a few measures. But I thought it was because that helped my brain be back “on track” and know what’s coming next, if that makes any sense?

It's basically the same thing I'm saying in this video. So seems like you are doing transition practice.

This piece with concert tempo will make me random mistake with 3 and 4 finger , sometime faster or sometime the note stuck together 😂

Hi :) I know that slow practice really helps to play the piece smoothly like someone say's "if you can play it slowly, you can play it fast". However I try to practice the piece very slowly at the beginning but I still struggle to play some of the notes (playing a wrong note) How can I fix that issue? Do you have any tips on that?

For specific issues like that, I need to see what's going on. If you are interested, I do offer online consultation/lessons. You can make an appointment through the link in the description.
