Are you or your children struggling with the discipline of practicing the piano? Your ability to practice regularly the piano (or anything for that matter) will determine the level of skill that you require and the only way to practice regularly is to set up an environment that will literally make it harder for you to fail than for you to succeed. When this is the other way around then you will almost certainly fail at some point down the line.

In this video I go through the core principles to build a habit of practice required to master the piano, summarized from the brilliant book, atomic habits, which I applied from the age of 1316 to achieve a grade 8 ABRSM in piano. Even though at the time I didn't realize that I was using these well thought out principles, they are certainly the reason I managed to achieve any sort of skill in the piano.

Find out what these principles are and stick to the end of the video to see a video of me when I was 17 years of age playing a piece from the toy story 1 year after I got my grade 8 qualification.
