How to Find Time for Piano Practice

You have made it a life long dream to learn to play the piano. But, do you find yourself preoccupied with long lists of things to do, errands to run and driving the kids around that you can't seem to even find 30 minutes to sit and practice playing the piano? If you answered yes, here're some ways to get you started down the right path to your goal.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Understand that you do not have to sit in front of the piano straight for a half hour to an hour to consider that you have actually practiced. Face it, you may not have a whole hour to sit there and practice.
2. Change your expectations of yourself. You can find time throughout the day here and there and these short periods can add up to at least half an hour of practice. That's better than not practicing at all.
3. Plan out your day each day and look for a time period where you don't have a place to rush to or something that you are occupied with. Once you find that time, commit yourself to practice at that time, even if it's only for 10 minutes. You can practice playing one song at least 5 times in that time.
4. Learn to use your time more wisely. Instead of having long conversations on the phone with your friends, you can practice the piano for an additional 10 to 20 minutes.
5. Wake up early to practice if your piano is in an enclosed room. Go to be a half hour later so you can get in the practice.
6. Reward yourself to a special treat each time you get to practice playing the piano.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you are rested and have eaten before you practice the piano. It helps you to concentrate and perform better.
