On Saturday, we had to play two pieces, and my daughter was still making mistakes. She didn't practice at all over the summer because she got whooping cough in June and then went to the countryside for fresh air. We only practiced for two weeks in August. Unfortunately, we worked through the pieces with mistakes. We went to a tutor for two sessions and practiced intensively, but she lacks technique. The tutor says she needs another week...

She can't because she's memorizing it incorrectly (the wrong fingers) and then has to relearn it.
It's only 4 pages of A4, but in the first piece, she gets confused in one spot on one line, memorized it wrong, and in another piece, she didn't relearn a couple of lines (she memorized those wrong too).

It feels like she doesn't really need it. Are you sure this piano will be very useful in her life? Most of my acquaintances finished music school a long time ago. Can you guess how many of them found these skills and knowledge useful in life? If she doesn't strive for it herself, then so be it, she won't pass, she won't pass, life won't turn upside down because of it

Anastasiya The thing is, she went there herself. She analyzes the pieces herself and plays them with mistakes, muscle memory kicks in, and then she can't unlearn it.

Anastasiya Well, if she wants to and strives for it, then all you can do is teach and practice. What else is there to do? It's just that when people are passionate about something, they try to dedicate every free minute to their hobby. And here, she basically didn't touch her instrument all summer.

Does she have a teacher? Why is she analyzing the work herself?

Anna Morozova
Mataxari Yes. But the teacher immediately said that theory (notes, counting, fingerings) would be an extra charge. You're supposed to come already having it figured out.

Why is this even necessary? All this stress, these exams. Is she going to be a musician?

Your daughter had whooping cough. It's really tough and can have long-lasting effects on the psyche. I've had it, so I know. Give her all the time she needs

Mataxari What kind of teacher is that? I went to music school and we went over it together with the instructor.
