Ten commandments for young pianists: 

• You only need to practice on the days that you eat!
• Watch the position of your hands and your posture at the piano
• Always start by practising your technical work
• Always start by practising slowly. Stephen Heller said: “Practice very slowly, progress very fast!”
• Always practice with steady rhythm using metronome if necessary
• Start looking at dynamics as early as possible. By doing so at the initial stage of your work you save a lot of practice time in the future
• Follow carefully all the composers’ instructions on articulation, phrasing, mood and speed with precision
• Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you never get it wrong
• Listen to great performers! It will form your musical taste and train your ear!
• Have fun! Share your music and entertain your friends and family whenever there is an opportunity!
