Practising between lessons is essential as you want to learn and progress in the lessons rather than just end up practising in the lessons!
If possible, try to have somewhere quiet to practise.
It is useful to practise little and often as this keeps things fresh in your mind. Practising for around 10-15 minutes each day if possible would be a good way to start, building up to around half-an-hour each day as you progress.
The more advanced you become, the more practice time is generally needed. You may well find you'll miss some days, which is fine. Perhaps then try to do a bit more the following day when practice time may suit you better.
The hardest parts should be practised the most.
Practise slowly, correct mistakes, stay focused and concentrate.
My 2 children have had piano lessons with Suzanne since they were 5 up to the age of 18. Both loved their lessons and they worked towards practical grade exams, music theory as well as expanding their repertoire and love of the piano. Suzanne is a patient and thoughtful teacher and is able to get the best out of her students. Under Suzanne’s nurturing and enthusiastic teaching both children were awarded music scholarships at their school and both achieved their Grade 8. Suzanne doesn’t just teach to pass an exam but ensures that her pupils get a wide exposure to all types of piano music and develop a real love for the instrument, whether that is by playing hymns, Christmas carols or a song by Ed Sheeran. I would have no hesitation in recommending Suzanne as a teacher.
