That is how many people practice. Beginning to end every time. Maybe slowly, but muddle through the hard parts and blast through the easy parts. Maybe, maybe, replay a measure where you made a mistake a couple of times until you get it right exactly once and then continue.

This deliberate one-measure-until-it’s-perfect isn’t something many folks learn on their own.

Most people don’t become real pianists without a real teacher; I didn’t realize people tried to learn piano on their own.

But man, this is life in general. Difficult math? Solving a bunch of arithmetic won’t help you with laplace transforms or difficult integrals. You need to practice the hard problems to get better at the hard things.

This is how I've always played until last month. Made a mistake? Fumble through but never really focus 20 times perfect on a single bar like I do now.
