Practice

Practice is the thing that people hate to do. We love to play, but don't want to do the work to get there. Practice should be a good thing. Practice is all about improvement. You look for the things that are unfamiliar, can go wrong, or which you want to do better. Then go over them. But, do it in a thinking form. Go over the part that you want to practice, very slowly. Discover what is hard. Going over it slowly will allow you to get your fingers in place. After a while, it will start to become easier. You will make less mistakes. Keep patient- don't go fast yet. Go over it a few more times, trying to keep the sequences in your mind. After this, I move my fingers here. Which fingers move first? Which are always last? Should I move some others first? Once you are satisfied, speed up a little. Try a few more times, then speed up again. Starting very slowly will reduce your mistakes drastically, and you will actually play better quicker if you follow the patient method I have outlined.
