🎹 How Much Should You Practice? Let’s Talk About It! 🎸
The short answer: consistency matters more than perfection, and it doesn’t have to take hours a day to see growth!
Here’s a general guideline based on age and experience:
🎶 Ages 4–6 (Beginners):
5–10 minutes a day is plenty! Keep it light, fun, and part of their routine. Think of it as “musical playtime.”
🎶 Ages 7–10:
15–25 minutes a day, 5 days a week. These students are ready to build focus and technique - shorter, focused sessions are best.
🎶 Ages 11–14:
30–45 minutes a day. At this stage, students can work on multiple skills (scales, sight-reading, performance pieces).
🎶 Teens & Adults:
45–60 minutes, depending on goals. Intermediate and advanced players benefit from breaking practice into segments (warm-up, technique, repertoire).
✨ The key? Consistency > Intensity
A little each day builds momentum, confidence, and long-term progress. If practice is turning into a daily battle, let us know - we can help make it more engaging at home too!
