How to play Trois Marches militaires on piano

  1. Expect weeks, not days. Learn it section by section and keep a list of the hardest passages to practise first in every session.
  2. Slow practice is the fastest way forward: loop the difficult bars at 50% until they are clean, then 75%, then full speed.
  3. Decide on fingering early for fast passages and write it down; changing fingering later costs more time than it saves.
  4. Keep the beat rock steady. Play along at 50% with the count-in and let the app keep you honest about time before you speed up.
  5. Start with the level 5 version. When you've learned about 80% of it, move on to the next harder version; the notes you already know make it quicker to learn.
  6. Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.

In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
