1. Look over the whole piece. Carefully analyze each aspect of the music--the key signature, time signature, tempo, accidentals, fingering, key changes, tricky rhythm patterns, dynamic markings, key changes, unfamiliar notes, etc.
2. Play through the piece. Don't stop if you make a mistake. This is an important habit to develop. When you accompany singing groups, you must keep going even if you mess up. Go as slow as you wish but keep going.
3. Evaluate how you did. What mistakes did you make? What are the areas in which you can improve?
4. Play the piece again, trying to correct the errors you made the first time through.
