The Ultimate At-Home Piano Practice Routine

  • Practice time is the time to get better. But if you don't know HOW to practice the piano, you won't see the results you want.
    Remember, practice is NOT performance. You're not trying to impress anyone, you're putting in the work that will yield the results. But that doesn't mean it can't be fun!
    Here is my recommended practice routine that I think you should be following at home, so you can get the most out of your practice time.
    These sections come with downloadable resources, so make sure you use them!

    You are so refreshing to watch. So much energy without being overbearing. I always come to watch your videos when I'm feeling like a total failure at the piano and discouraged to the point of asking, "Why do I bother." You're sure to cheer me up and remember to enjoy the piano, no matter what "level" you're at. Thank you so much.

    You are an amazing teacher! I am 61 years old and have played for years but only took about 4 years of piano lessons when I was a teenager. I read the notes well but never really learned anything about chords. I am so excited to learn chording and how to make songs sound fuller. You are a joy to watch!

    I just started to play again after being away from it for 30 years. It feels good that I can still play a bit. Thank you for this routine because you just gave me ideas and blew my mind open to the possibilities. :) I tend to play randomly because sometimes songs and sounds get in my head, and often the only way to relax is to play those notes! :) Greatly appreciated.

    You are such an inspiration to me. I have watched several of your youtubes, but haven't commented till now. You have opened me up to the concept that maybe I can be creative on the piano. I tend to feel I'm not talented and have to just play what I'm shown - period. But you've shown me that it isn't so scary to be creative. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    Wow! This is so coincidental. Just this morning, I added Hanon No.1 exercise to complement my Scale practice. I practice all Scales beginning with C and then working my way up to the C an octave higher, playing the minor Scales as well. I've also started adding what I would call a Swing Rhythm to my Arpeggio practice, playing the Arpeggios in as many varied ways as I can imagine. I love the simple improv exercise you illustrated here, something I will add to my routine as well. Thanks for this one!
