Make practice more focused by choosing one small problem, listening carefully, and noticing what changes.

Give each session a small job

  1. Choose a short passage

    Find the specific measure, chord change, or fingering that interrupts your playing. Work on that spot before restarting the whole song.

  2. Listen after each attempt

    Ask one question: Was the rhythm even? Did the chord change arrive on time? Could the hand stay comfortable?

  3. Finish with music

    Put the small passage back into a larger phrase. End by playing something you enjoy, even if it is simple.

A useful repetition has a purpose. If the same mistake keeps returning, change the speed, size of the passage, or task. A short recording can reveal something you miss while concentrating on your hands.
