Office chairs and a computer.  Also get one of those nifty laminated calendars and sharpie pens for the desk.  Dont forget photos of your dog.

I think your teacher is probably right...learn your pieces carefully, in sections. Make sure, if you divide it into sections, that you practise from before the beginning to after the end of each section (so that the sections overlap). For example, if the piece were in four sections (bars 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, and 25-32), you could practise bars 1-9, 8-17, 15-25, and 24-32.

Any part that is hard for you, you should spend more effort on. Don't just play from the beginning to the end every time. Try to figure out what makes it difficult; your teacher should be able to help you find ways to solve your problems.

Could you tell us how long you have been playing piano, and what pieces you are working on? Also, is there anything in particular you are having trouble with?

Hummmm Good post..what you said is open ways in my head..

Now i see that when i started to play piano, i was studying very wrong..everytime i was playing from the beginning to the end..and just now that im correcting me you..with my new teacher..and sometimes..i start to study from the beginning to the end..i know that is wrong but..im starting to make the right way..is very difficult to me!
Now..im studying a Beethoven Sonatine, A Mendelssohn little piece that i dont know the nš a Crammer study, A Bach minuet, and a Prokofieff Valse..The biggest problem with the study is with the Beethoven Sonatine..I dont know what sonatine is..i cant find a midi..of anything about the Beethoven Sonatines..

Sorry my english ONE MORE TIME PEOPLE!

everytime i was playing from the beginning to the end

This is very common. When you begin, your pieces are usually so easy that you can play through them from beginning to end, so you don't realize that this is not an efficient way to learn.

What makes it hard? Is it too long a piece to work on (or are you working on sections that are too long to quickly master? Can you play it hands separately, but not hands together? Do you have trouble finding the correct keys? Is it too fast? Is it hard to read? The more analysis you do on why you have trouble, the easier it will be to fix your problems.
