Don't
play the piece through from
beginning to end over and over
again. Work on a small
section at a time. Choose a
few bars and polish them until
they shine.

There
are lots of things to check
when you are practising - right
notes, fingerings, counting,
dynamics, articulation marks,
pedal, accidentals, keysignatures,
changing clefs and chords.
You can't check all these if
you are playing like an express
train! What happens is
that you won't notice the mistakes.
So practise slowly.
Practise at the speed of no
mistakes! Once you are
confident you can speed the
whole piece up.

Practice
hands separately so that it
is easier to spot the mistakes.
When you know each hand inside
out then you can put them together.
When you are playing the piece
really well try practising separate
hands again every so often just
to check everything is still
correct.
