I mean, there's really not much way to practice them other than to just... practice them.
Do not try it out in training mode, since moves do not stale in training mode. Play on infinite time, put a handicap on your opponent to get them to a percent where up air strings work, and just practice it, I guess? Every time you do it, SD to reset the stale counter. There's no real special way to practice them other than to just practice them.

dash attack or down throw leads right into up air strings, so use those to set them up.
Your opponent should be in lowish to mid percent depending on their weight, too little percent and they'll go too low for an upair and too much percent and they'll go too high.
I'm not sure how other people do it, but i have my thumb on both the Y and A button on a gamecube controller, with the control stick held up. Then I press Y to jump and right after each jump I press A. You may have to follow your opponent's DI, but at first try it on CPUs which don't DI. If you still can't do it, just look at other meta knights do it and try to replicate it.

Please don't make threads asking simple questions. Use the Question & Answers thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/meta-knight-questions-answers-thread.371316/
But to answer your question, Dash Attack, Down-Throw, and Up-Tilt all set up for Up-Air combos starting at around 20-30% depending on the character. Learn to utilities those set-up moves and landing Up-Airs should become second nature and eventually you'll learn to read air dodges and get raw Up-Air chains with no set-up needed. Just practice, practice, practice.
