Don't change rhythm speed for emotional reasons until you have played in strict rhythm for a couple of years. Chopin is no composer to use as a teaching source for young students with rhythm problems. good luck.
seriously, I am thinking I should quit. There is no point of keeping doing it without being able to study as much as needed in order to improve or at an age where you life besides music is also set and your brain/body can only do some thing. as far as the beat: i try to start playing using my foot, but then after few bars I simply cant keep the foot at a steady and constant pace with LH and RH doing other stuff. I simply cant keep the rhythm if the music "distracts me"
just singing it the way it is supposed to sound, something that can come spontaneously in the shower or while driving.Listen to it, sing it, then try to play it.
How am I supposed to count on that bar?
ONE and two and three and.You should count the beats, not the notes.
sure, but I have been told that often you "double up", so it becomes somehow easier:1 2 3 4 5 6 7, in order to keep better spacing between subdivisions
That's a method ( and for some reason some school bands work this way, silly IMO) but not really the right method. You want 1-2-3 to be on time, the and fits between the beats, so 1+2+3+. Counting 123456 may still tend to lead to unevenness. In this method 1-3-5 are on the beat, which is not really synonymous to 3/4 time. If you are going to learn to count you might as well do it fully correctly.
If one is having trouble with eighth notes, one counts " one and two and three and four and" every measure. that is what previous poster meant with the plus signs, I am sure.If one is having trouble with sixteenth notes, one countes "One-e-and-a-two-e-and-a-three-e-and-a-four-e-and-a.Saying all that sort of automatically pushes you to play the piece slow enough that you can play it without pausing to think. Slowing down at the hard parts and speeding up on the easy parts seriously annoys trained musicians like your teacher. What one does, is play the piece all at the same speed, the one you are counting, the speed where you make no mistakes, until you have the piece learned in your cerebellum-medulla, not with the frontal lobes. There is supposed to be no words or intentions in the basic playing of the piano. Then, when playing a piece is all automatic, like baseball players catch a ball and throw a double play to first without thinking, then crank up the speed. When the whole piece is up to an even tempo without pauses, then you may add emotion for effect. I do not recommend the emotion you communicate is fear of the hard parts (slow) , and relief at the easy parts (fast).
thankssorry but I dont get what is your suggestion: adding "+" in the count between 1-2-3?thanks
i am really thinking of quitting
