Practice Tips For The Old Rugged Cross Advanced Piano Sheet Music

Start by practicing the first two and a half pages as this is the trickiest of the three key signatures. Practice slowly and work your way up to a faster pace. As needed, practice your right and left hands in rhythms to get them in sync. If you have small hands that don’t reach octaves well, cut out the bottom note of the octave, especially when you have a full chord to play.
