This video course is available free of charge (yes, it’s FREE) from the Curtis Institute. There is an app called Coursera available for watching them. It is an excellent course on one of the greatest bodies of music ever composed.

Golden Rules for Good Practice
- Aim for a short practice every day. This is much better than a long practice every few days.
- Think of practice like sports training. Start by warming up with some scales or exercises, then work on your pieces, and finish (warm down) with a favourite piece.
- Approach your practice session ready to learn. Think about what you are doing and concentrate as you play.
