We begin with 3–7 minutes focusing on posture, relaxed positioning, and precise right/left hand control to build a strong technical base.
-
15–35 minutes dedicated to targeted work on a single piece or challenging passage, with slow practice, clear fingering, and musical intent.

A short but powerful segment to develop phrasing, dynamic contrast, and tonal variety, bringing the music to life.

You’ll leave with concise, actionable steps tailored to your week, including smart repetitions, checkpoints, and small wins to keep you motivated.
