Practice tips
1. Make practice a daily routine (like homework, only more fun!).
2. Practice in a quiet place with a music stand and chair.
3. You perform like you practice, so always try your best and use good posture.
4. Break pieces into small sections. Play each section slowly and accurately. Speed up the tempo each time you practice.
5. Once you can play the small sections, play a piece from start to finish to build up endurance.
6. Have fun!
