Loop it

When you’re practicing a piece of music, regardless of what the music is like, try looping a measure or two.

Play those two measures over and over again. Play them as if you’re a broken record looping those two measures. Keep playing them until they’re more comfortable and easier to play.

I use this technique while practicing all the time and it helps a lot.

It can help you play that one transition that always gives you trouble so much better. And it does it quickly.

I’ll often do this and put a timer on my phone. I’ll set a timer for one to two minutes and loop one or two measures for those minutes. I don’t play anything else.

After those two minutes you’ll be significantly better at playing those two measures.
