This thread is for us to share different ways to practice, to get the maximum results in the shortest time.
For me I learn 1 bar then the 2nd bar then combine the 1st and 2nd , then learn the 3rd then combine, 1st 2nd 3rd , then learn the 4th, then combine 1234 bars, etc. This is my usual way of practising those pieces that are really hard.
My 2nd method is play right hand at 40bpm 1 click to 1 quaver and then 42bpm then 44 bpm etc, when I reach 120 I go back to 40bpm and now I do 1 click to 1 crotchet, and slowly increase by 2 all the time to the desired speed. After which do the same for left hand then both hands. Very effective method but extremely time consuming.
My 3rd method, this applies when the piece is full of arppegios for eg, Chopin's ocean etude by chopin. For the start play the arppegios as chords, reason is to make the fingers be familiar where to go. for the start do it slow at 40bpm then increase by 2 all the time using my 2nd method.
Out of all the 3 methods though, the fastest method is the 1st one.
So what do u all suggest?
