Music practice and ball games, sentence 1

When a piece has a hard bar (a short part of the music), you play it slowly until it is right, because playing a mistake fast many times turns it into a habit.

Who acts: piece, you, playing · What happens: have, play, be, turn · To what, where: hard bar, bar, mistake, habit
