Question: Ari, should I start from the top when I make an error or keep pushing on?
Answer: Neither - dont start from the top and dont just keep going.
Why? The obvious fact is that errors dont improve on their own. So, what can you do about it?
Step 1: Precisely identify the spot. You can either do that by using a marker on a chart or set markers on whatever program youre using to learn the song.
Step 2: Identify the issue. Identify the problem means Im doing X but I should do Y.
Step 3: Practice to fix it. Imagine youre explaining it to somebody. Imagine you are teaching it to somebody. Now you know what to work on. Practice precisely that. Change the fingering; learn the rhythm without the pitches; do whatever you need to do to fix that section.
Step 4: Put it in context. Practice going in and out of that section.
Now, if that strikes you a bit cumbersome and slow, let me tell you that in the end, it gets you there faster. [ 🎵 🎵 🎵 ]
