Episode 73: 3 Simple Shifts for Piano Practice Consistency
Struggling to stay consistent with your piano practice? In this episode, I share three simple mindset shifts that can transform how you approach practice—helping you build lasting habits and make real progress, whether you’re a beginner or returning after a break.
You’ll learn how to:
🎹 Embrace imperfection over perfection, freeing yourself from frustration.
🎹 Break practice into smaller, manageable chunks for steady improvement.
🎹 Focus on consistency, not duration, to create a sustainable practice routine.
I also share a segment from one of my earlier talks with additional tips on overcoming mindset hurdles that might be holding you back.
Reflective Questions:
✅ Which mindset shift resonates with you the most?
✅ How can you apply one of these shifts to your next practice session?
✅ What small change could make your practice feel more achievable?
