"Cut-on-on-off": When playing a new piece of music, you generally need to practice repeatedly with one hand - then both hands - then one hand - then both hands. Breaking up practice can focus on whether the playing method is correct, and it is easy to notice all aspects of the music. On the basis of accurate and proficient parting practice, when playing with both hands, use the correct playing method and try to handle the music as complete as possible. For beginners, pay attention to the strength level of the left and right hands, and generally highlight the main melody. After practicing with one hand and two hands, it is also very important to play separately, because after a period of two-hand practice, the playing method and processing of the music will definitely not be comprehensive, so when you practice with one hand again, you still need to concentrate. Strive for a more accurate and detailed performance of the music. For polyphonic music works, it is not enough to just practice part-part, but also part-part practice.

"Zero and zero": when practicing the piano, it is repeated many times from part-whole-repart-to-whole. "Zero" has two meanings: first, when you start to practice, you should divide the music into paragraphs, and you can practice the next paragraph until you have mastered one paragraph. You must not play it over and over again from the beginning to the end, and save money on the surface. After time, in fact, in the end, nothing was gained. Furthermore, it is to strengthen the training purposefully for the weakest part of yourself. After that, play the song in its entirety. If you find any deficiencies again, you have to focus on training. Repeat this several times. If the difficulty is overcome, it means that you have made great progress.

"Slow, fast, slow and fast": When practicing, practice repeatedly according to the law of slow-fast-slow-fast again. Slow practice both corrects technical deficiencies and notices notes, counterpoints, fingerings, emojis, etc. on the score. Blindly fast practice, will make the hands become very stiff. When playing, it is very easy to cause the problem of eating sound and virtual sound. Therefore, you must practice slowly first, and then play fast when you are familiar with it. After that, you must practice slow at a higher level, and the slowness after that is for better speed. So you have to remember: if you don't practice the piano slowly, you won't be able to play the piano!

"Look at the back, look at the back": When playing a piece of music, through repeated practice of reading the score - memorizing the score - reading the score again - then reciting the score, the purpose of perfect performance of the music is achieved. Reading scores can make it easier to pay attention to all aspects of the music. On the basis of playing the music proficiently, in order to achieve a higher level of music performance, it is necessary to memorize the music. Blindly reading the score is not easy to achieve the integration of music; blindly memorizing the score, with the passage of time, it is even more difficult to express the music perfectly. It is necessary to repeat reading and memorizing exercises for many times, so as to be accurate in technique and better reproduce the composer's true artistic style. In the actual process of piano practice, the above methods are not fixed and should be learned and used. If you insist on practicing the piano according to the scientific method of "Sixteen Characters", you will surely achieve the desired effect.
