Find a piano teacher in Setauket- East Setauket for personalized lessons

The 80/20 rule for piano suggests that 80% of your progress comes from just 20% of your practice habits.

• Targeted practice: Identify your weak spots and dedicate most of your session to those specific areas.
• Hands separately: Working on the left and right hand independently is one of the highest-impact habits a beginner can adopt.
• Slow practice: Reducing tempo on tricky sections is one of the most productive 20% habits—it pays off dramatically over time.
• Consistent short sessions: Practicing 20 to 30 minutes daily is far more productive than one long weekly session.

Working with an experienced instructor ensures you focus on the right techniques from day one.
