Practice Guide by Level
The Role of Practice in Piano Learning
Beginner Level
(early beginners, first 1–2 years)
• 10–20 minutes per practice session
• Consistent weekly practice
Focus: basic coordination, note reading, and healthy playing habits.
Short, focused sessions help establish consistency without fatigue.
​
Intermediate Level
• 30–45 minutes per practice session
• Regular practice throughout the week supports steady progress
Focus: technique development, repertoire, and problem-solving practice
(slow practice, hands-separate work).
​
Advanced Level
• 60–120 minutes per day, depending on goals
• Practice frequency varies based on repertoire and performance needs
Focus: advanced technique, musical interpretation, and performance preparation.
​
Quality Over Quantity
At all levels, consistency and quality of focus matter more than total time spent practicing.
Practice expectations may vary depending on student's age, goals, and repertoire.
