So before I tackled this piece I decided to look into the internet to see if there are any tips or good advice as to how to learn a piece. A lot of what I had found was what my piano teacher had already taught me which was to play it first slowly, one hand at a time, without the tricky elements at first and to play a few measures at a time first with one hand, then the other, then together and then work on the next few measures.

I found a video on youtube that I watched where he explained how to attempt a more difficult piece, which I have attached the video below. I also found a site with step by step instructions which has included pictures and has split up the learning into parts. This link is also found below.

My goal for next week is to get the first two lines learned.
