Slow practice is often criticised but it is one of the best practice techniques there is. It encourages good technique, strengthens memory, conditions muscles, increases confidence - all of which leads to less effort, and less effort means speed increases naturally.

I never trusted slow practice. It was always a case of opening my music and trying to play it at the suggested tempo.

Over the years I've learnt that increasing tempo comes last.

Get fingering, notes, rhythms, articulation, pedalling and phrasing first. Tempo last.

@AdcoakerC I've often thought that too, I was lucky to have had a primary school without a head teacher where the top teachers were musicians and we sang/danced every single day without fail. Not only was it emotionally uplifting but it was great for learning music and rhythm.

The C for 4/4 doesn't actually stand for common time, although we are often told that.

@sarahfritzwritr Beautiful! Sitting on a chair too, eyes on the music. She is so pretty 😍

@AdcoakerC I don't see why 7 notes on the treble clef aren't taught alongside the alphabet, colours and numbers etc. Should be basic knowledge.

@AdcoakerC Music, sleeping and eating. Now that IS the life.

@KawaiPianosUK Until it breaks down and you don't want to know. Still waiting for another repair after several. Should just get a replacement.

[Howe Music Tuition @howemusictutor]

@AdcoakerC Good luck 👍

@its_adamneely we're going the wrong way 😬

[Sarah Fritz @sarahfritzwritr]

Reminder— Clara Schumann was the youngest EVER to compose, perform, and publish a piano concerto.

She premiered it at the Gewandhaus with Mendelssohn conducting—one month after her 16th birthday.

Younger than Mozart.
