Manage an effective practice
on: December 13, 2006, 06:55:06 PM
Sometimes I wonder... how can people manage their practicing hour till it becomes effective? I use to practice for hours and yet I can't even get a grasp of even one piece... What actually you have to pay attention when you're practicing?

And then... what will you do to improve your virtuosity technique and your stamina so that you can play a loud forte without sounding banging or even dexterity so that you don't get easily tired?

Look down it for Bernhard's reply.

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
