Tip of the Month
Practice Pieces of Varying Difficulty
Whether you're a beginner learning your first scales or a seasoned performer preparing for your next concert, how you structure your practice time can make or break your progress. One highly effective — but often overlooked — strategy is to practice pieces with varying degrees of difficulty.
The Why: What’s the Big Idea?
Practicing pieces at different levels helps balance technical growth, musicality, and confidence. Here’s what happens when you blend easy, moderate, and challenging pieces:
Easy pieces reinforce fundamentals. They let you focus on tone, phrasing, and expression without technical overload.
Moderate pieces push your technique just enough to build stamina and skill, while still being musically satisfying.
Challenging pieces stretch your limits, introduce new techniques, and simulate performance-level pressure.
The Psychology: Stay Engaged, Stay MotivatedExclusively working on difficult pieces can be mentally exhausting and frustrating. On the flip side, only playing what you already know won’t get you anywhere fast. Mixing it up keeps your brain engaged and your morale high — which leads to more consistent, focused practice sessions.
