Most students, when they get a new piece, want to master the whole thing right away. If it’s really really super easy or if the song has a ton of repition, you probably could. But if it’s a full length concerto you’re after, it’s probably not a good idea.
The trick is to take sections of the piece and work on it for a few days(or weeks depending on the length or difficulty) and master it, then move on to the next section. In no time will you have all phrases flowing into a beautiful masterpiece.
This strategy obviously doesn’t apply only to music. It can apply to other aspects in life such as midterms. Rather that trying to study everything at once, work on one subject at a time. Soon you’ll finish with flying colors:)
Yes, it’s midterms week. Yes, I’m trying to preach to myself. =)

Ooohhh, THAT’S why you guys couldn’t come to our fellowship meeting! You all missed some power-packed preaching, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
