Wang Can-ping · Journal of Guizhou University of Technology · 2008
Slow practice means that players practice at the speed which is slower than that of the work required.It is the primary effective method of overcoming the technical difficulties of works with fast or complicated rhythm,and also one of the basic ways of scientific practicing.The advantage of slow prac- tice is to allow people to correct the playing mistakes in ample time according to the information collect- ed from sense of sight and sense of hearing,in order to satisfy the scheduled requirement and the final goal of performance.This paper discusses the meaning of slow practice in theory,at the same time,it puts forward many examples to show that only if we correctly understand the function and the meaning of piano slow practice and put it into practice appropriately,can we learn piano in an efficient and scien- tific way.
