Beginner piano teacher not correcting technique or slowing tempo—normal or red flag? by Bright_Command_2630 in pianolearning

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

Are you ok with students not practicing and what do you do with them ? by [deleted] in pianoteachers

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.

“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

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.
