Bach's Invention No. 1: Adult Beginner Piano Practice (Little by Little)

Hello fellow piano learners,

If you're anything like me, you've probably looked at a piece of classical music and felt a little overwhelmed. The notes, the rhythm, the sheer complexity—it can make you wonder if you'll ever be able to play something truly beautiful.

That's exactly how I felt about Bach's iconic Invention No. 1. But I've learned that the key to unlocking these masterpieces isn't a secret talent; it's just a lot of patience and a solid practice method.

That's why I've put together my latest video: Bach's Invention No. 1: Adult Beginner Piano Practice (Little by Little).

This video isn't a polished performance. It's an honest look at my own practice sessions. You'll see me work through the challenges, break down the difficult parts, and slowly but surely, piece it all together. The "little by little" method is about isolating each hand, mastering small phrases, and then combining them at a slow, deliberate tempo. It's not glamorous, but it works.

I hope this video serves as a reminder that no piece is out of reach for an adult beginner. All it takes is consistency and the courage to start small.

You can watch the full practice session below.
