well nick i dont know you, so i'm not exactly sure what's going to work for you. all i can do is give you some general ideas.

ideas like scale practice, arpeggio practice, other related etudes and technique practice, for repertoire, taking a piece apart, working on each individual part, honing each facet of each piece, like fingering, pedalling, mood, interpretation, tempos, phrasing, etc.

i could go on page after page but it still wouldn't be enough. you need a coach, a teacher. someone who can give you ideas to try and see what works for you. someone who has already been down that road and can save you a million mistakes and problems. get a teacher if you're serious about the piano.


good luck

If you're familiar with the way Bernhard posts you'll know that he usually posts a lot of links in each post.  With each link he has a short statement describing what it's about.  So searching through Bernhard's posts can quickly lead you to information, especially regarding study techniques and practice habits.

I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn’t believe that it was a worthwhile thing to do.

I also happen to believe that most of Bernhard's suggestions are extremely worthy of taking a serious look at if a person wants to learn efficient and productive methods of piano practice.

Bernhard is a piano teacher who gives people ideas to try and see what works for them. ;)
