Fix the reason not the note

69Mistakes are made during practice. That's great as without them we wouldn't know what to improve.

When you do play a wrong note the worst you can do is to quickly correct it and move on without thinking. If you do this you will make the same kind of mistake again because you have not fixed the underlying cause of the mistake.

Instead stop a moment and think about why you made the mistake. Did you know the note? Did you stretch the right distance? Did you concentrate?

Fix the reason and that wrong note will stay permanently fixed.
