November 3, 2026 · 18 min

Show notes

Finding more time for piano doesn't always mean adding more hours to your schedule! In this week's episode of Learn Piano: A Personal Practice, we explore the idea of layering—incorporating musical learning into activities you're already doing and making use of those little pockets of time throughout your day. Whether you're listening to your piano repertoire while folding laundry, enjoying a music podcast during your commute, practicing note reading on your phone while waiting for an appointment, or studying sheet music from the comfort of your couch, these small opportunities can add up! By moving some of your musical learning away from the piano bench, you can make your actual practice sessions more focused and productive. This week's challenge: Find three opportunities to layer musical learning into your everyday life and discover how much more you can accomplish without making your schedule any busier!
