How to deal with mistakes in piano practice?

Whether you are a pro or a beginner, mistakes are a crucial part of any musician’s journey. Remember, everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are necessary to move through the learning curve.
The question you need to ask is- Are you noticing your mistakes? If so, then mistakes are very helpful. Identifying all the areas/spots on the score and being aware about them, will bring progress.

There are two ways to deal with them-

1. Isolating those spots and working/drilling them
2. Slowing down on that section to fix any rhythm, note or articulation error, for instance.
   
   One very important thing to do, is to observe if it is only a few spots or you are overall making a lot of errors. For the latter, the easiest and most effective rule is to SLOW DOWN (your tempo).
   Each time you mess up, you should identify the root problem, drill it or slow down, if needed, and this will make you a skilled and knowledgeable musician. Then, the next time you are confronted with that technical challenge, you know what to do.
   Enjoy practicing! 🎹
   
   Happy to be a part of your musical journey!
