Reviewing is essential if you want to improve your piano skills

``After much practice on the piano, I was finally able to play a song from beginning to end without making any mistakes.''

Should I move on to the next song?

In this case, the correct value is " ✕ ".

For example, if you can solve past questions on a school's entrance exam even once, can you say that you will get into that school?

Of course no.

You may fail if a different problem comes up, or if the solution is the same but the problem statement is written differently.

The same goes for the piano.

On the next practice day, try playing it five times from beginning to end, and don't be satisfied until you can play it perfectly all five times.

In order to improve, even if you can play perfectly once, it is important to practice repeatedly until your fingers memorize it perfectly

Otherwise, the next time you play a new song, you'll end up making mistakes again by using the same hand movements or keyboard touches.

Getting better at the piano means mastering the skill.

Practice over and over again to learn how to play more difficult songs.

It is inefficient for the brain to cram in and practice large amounts of information and skills at once.

Acquiring skills while reviewing each song, preferably phrase by phrase, is a very efficient way for your brain

If you can play a song without making any mistakes even once, you will definitely want to play the next song from a motivation standpoint.

That feeling is very important, but you should also try to review the song in order to practice the next song more efficiently.

Depending on whether you do this or not, there will be a big difference in the number of songs you will be able to play one or two years from now.
