For structured learning, consider programs at Mesa Community College on the Southern and Dobson Campus.
   
• Do Prioritize Consistent Practice: Establish a daily practice schedule to build muscle memory and reinforce learning. Utilize headphones with digital pianos for discreet practice in shared living spaces. Inquire with Mesa Community College regarding any public access to piano practice rooms, understanding that student access is typically prioritized.

• Don't Neglect Fundamentals: Do not bypass basic music theory, sight-reading, or proper technique. These foundational elements are crucial for long-term progress and musical proficiency.
• Don't Practice Inconsistently: Irregular practice hinders progress significantly. Avoid prolonged breaks from your routine that necessitate relearning previously covered material.
• Don't Isolate Your Learning: Do not limit yourself solely to solitary practice. Actively seek feedback from your instructors and make an effort to engage with Mesa's vibrant local music community.
