Learning a Bach Invention is challenging, especially for the first time. The beginning steps I ask students to take are these:
- Learn the piece hands separately first
- Learn where the main themes are and practice those alone
- Put hands together very slowly and bring out the themes
The second step is the hardest one for students to practice but I feel it is the most important. Here is a video clip of a student practicing this at her lesson. Download Bach invention, themes only
