The answers to today's Strands, game #564, are TUNE SCALE CHORD THEORY 
RECITAL TECHNIQUE SPANGRAM: PIANOLESSONS My rating: Hard My score: 1 hint 

The theme "practice makes perfect could apply to nearly anything, so after 
finding a half a dozen non-game words I decided to take a hint. 

The hint I was given, TUNE, immediately made me think of music, as did SCALE 
which I spotted next. But it wasnt until I saw PIANO and then LESSONS that 
the penny finally dropped. 

I automatically gravitate to rare letters when doing a Strands search but I 
was somehow blind to TECHNIQUE, seeing it last of all. But then one of the 
wonders of this game is how often words are hiding in plain sight and even 
without the twists and right-to-left reading you fail to see them.
