Thank you, SO MUCH. That was some reassurance that I needed. ;) Although I don't know how to go about making the goal of my practice making a section easy. Help? :-[

Do you freak on your students if they make mistakes while playing for you? :P

Hello Bernardt, you have said:
"Yes, you can “master” 20 pieces a year if they are within your level and if they are arranged in a progressive order of difficulty so that mastering one provides the resources for mastering the next one."
I find piano pieces grading system a mess. Firstly, of all they get really difficult from one grade to the other. Second, sometimes a higher grade piece is much easier than a lower grade piece. Thirdly, were can I find that progressive order of difficulty so that mastering ore piece will lead me to the next one? Everyone tells the teacher must pass the pieces to the student but no one really seems to know that order. I believe in so many years of piano teaching the world should have these answers. Or a method. An average way of learning to play the piano exchanging some similar pieces by others at the student's taste just limke in a diet there are some foods you can replace by others. Do you have any advices for pieces, order of learning, for each level or technical skill?

Just because the comments are old doesn't mean they don't still apply.
