How do I get back to my old piano playing level after a break?

Identify your weaknesses (and your strengths), then include the exercises to strengthen the muscles and eye-hand coordination needed with some fun things you already to know how to play. Then tackle a piece you don’t know. Sometimes when i’ve been forced to take a break (for months, not years), I find I have a new point of view which aids in playing, while refreshing the parts which have decayed.
