Finding the time to practice is difficult for most students
and perhaps even more so for adult students. Many adults have
difficulty rationalizing the time they spend away from family,
work, and all the millions of other things that always need
to be done. Music is a wonderful way of connecting with our
inner, private world. Music can and should be shared, but first
it helps to make the connection from within. I believe there
are invaluable results that come from the connection we make
with music. If you feel drawn to pursuing the piano, do so without
guilt -the people around you will share the benefits of your
enthusiasm.
Try to make time by setting aside a specific part of each day
that you can devote to your piano practice. Don't be afraid
to ask for support from your family and friends; declare a communication
blackout - decide not to respond to phone calls, email or instant
messages between certain periods of time!
Practicing should be goal oriented; set very realistic and specific
goals.
