In this lesson, American pianist Garrick Ohlsson shares his insights into practice routines. He invites you to view your practice sessions as opportunities to develop self-awareness and step outside your comfort zone. Focus your practice sessions on identifying your strengths and weaknesses, and devote your time to the latter. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes!

Ohlsson will offer you strategies for practicing methodically, “dividing and conquering” the most difficult passages. He advises you always to practice with a sense of expression and musicality, especially when practicing under tempo. Finally, Ohlsson will teach you strategies for testing your knowledge of a piece when you believe that you have learned it successfully.
