Here is a structured 30-minute daily piano practice routine for beginners:


Warm-Up (5 minutes)

- Finger Exercises: Start with simple finger lifts or basic hands on exercises to improve dexterity.

- Scales: Play the C major scale with both hands, one octave up and down, at a comfortable speed.


2. Sight-Reading (3 minutes)

- Choose a new, simple piece each day. Focus on reading the notes and rhythms accurately.


3. Technical Exercises (7 minutes)

- Scales: Practice C major and A minor scales, one octave, hands separately, and then together.

- Chords: Work on basic triads (major and minor) in different inversions.


4. Repertoire Practice (10 minutes)

- New Pieces: Spend time learning new beginner pieces. Break the piece into small sections, practicing each hand separately before playing hands together.

- Review Pieces: Revisit previously learned pieces to reinforce memory and refine technique.


5. Musicality and Expression (3 minutes)

- Focus on dynamics, phrasing, and articulation in your pieces. Experiment with playing sections loudly and softly to bring out the expressive quality of the music.


6. Cool-Down (2 minutes)

- Play a piece you enjoy and feel comfortable with to end your practice session on a positive note. This could be a piece you've already mastered or something simple and fun..
