How Much Time on Scales, Repertoire, Exercises? Practice Time Management for Beginner Pianists!

Hi everyone!
Today's topic of choice: how much time should you be spending on new repertoire, practicing your sight-reading, and doing exercises like scales arpeggios and so on, if you are a beginner? Say you have an hour a day, how should you be using this? That is exactly what I will be covering in today's video. Keep in mind that this is only a suggestion and you can be flexible with your choice and split of your time.

just wanna let you know that even if I've already been playing for 9 years your videos still help me to this day, never stop what you are doing because it is good advice and just in general you're easy to listen to

[@eternalslumber2k6]

I completely agree and can relate to this (even though 9 years isn't that long all things considered. I have been playing for almost 11 years and I feel like I still have tons of things to learn)

@@eternalslumber2k6 I'm 19, so 9 years is actually a lot for me lol

Thanks so much for the comment, highly appreciated and happy my videos are good to listen to:)

I think 9 years is long! That's about half your life. Of course it's a never-ending process with learning, you just "learn more" with time but most people who watch my videos aren't 9 years into their piano journey yet :)

Sight reading is so very important. Two sight reading software I use are “Sight Reading Factory” and “Piano Marvel”. When you sit with a professional pianist who then plays all you pieces by just looking at them. Wow!

One size doesn’t fit all, yes, I agree. What you have given here is a good balanced starting point. From here the leaner can change your offered starting point to so that it fits them. Hopefully from the that starting point the learner will maximise their practice session. 👍👍. BTW Scales can be played in many ways which helps dissipates the boredom and does without strengthen skills. I have 3, one hour practice sessions per day. Morning, before lunch and evening.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, exactly a starting point to give some directions to those in need. Will check out your app / software suggestions, I have never used apps or software but I might do an app review and app recommendation for beginners video soon.

Kifflom to this advice, my brother

Do you still give online lessons. Just wondering because I'm a fairly advanced student and would like feedback from another teacher before an LTCL diploma recital.

Hi Joseph,
I already replied to other time(s) you asked this question under different video(s): the answer is yes :)

Could you say something about cold hands/fingers? After I start playing in a concert, my hands and fingers get cold. But then they no longer warm up and it is very difficult to play with cold fingers. I haven't discovered a solution to this problem yet.
