In this video, I share several tips I use to reduce anxiety while learning challenging music, using a section from Mozart's Symphony No. 40 on the accordion as an example. I focus on playing very slowly, allowing enough time to anticipate each note and avoid mistakes. Memorization helps augment my reading, giving me confidence as I gradually get familiar with what's coming next. Every complete repetition, no matter how small, builds muscle memory and boosts confidence. Consistent and logical fingering is crucial in every repetition to reinforce accuracy and fluency. Watch as this method helps me make small but steady progress over time.
