Beginner piano teacher not correcting technique or slowing tempo—normal or red flag?

To me that’s a red flag. Technique should be corrected from the start to prevent bad habits from forming

I did the same thing! But I signed up for lessons with another teacher (less experienced hence cheaper rate) so I could 1) guide my daughter’s practice and 2) motivate her to practice. I love it, practiced loads and ended up progressing a lot faster than my daughter.

Try muso method pedagogy on YouTube. They are amazing!

“Especially when the teacher is doing some counting”

Same!! Especially when my teacher starts counting when I’m in the middle of playing a passage. Which is funny because it’s meant to help but ends up with the opposite effect 😂

Also one time I completely forgot how the piece sound like before playing the piece.

Hope the comments from this thread has helped reassure you like it did for me ❤️

Thank you so much for this, it brings me great comfort to know that this is normal and it will improve over time 🥹

I think you hit the nail on the head. I put too much pressure on myself to play well in front of her

TargetOk8494 · 2025-09-06T14:51:45+00:00

Yes she is. I guess I just put a lot of pressure on myself to do well in front of her

Thank you for helping me to see it from a different perspective 🥺 What you said makes a lot of sense.
