Many students take a break from lessons during summer holidays. When students look forward to a vacation from typical learning and enrichment activities, they often fail to maintain musical skills or cease learning new ones during the long break from lessons. This could be detrimental to their progress in piano studies.
There is one important aspect- sleep- that we should consider for using it in marinating new information learnt. Sleep, essential to memory and motor skills consolidation is helpful to get the repertoire to the next level, as students tend to get better sleep during summer holidays.
When the repertoire is left untouched for a month or two, it leads to loss of technique. Due to break in lessons, there are chances that students do not feel motivated to practice enough.
To sum up, when new repertoire is learnt, practice must occur with consistency over time.
