Then I left with no new piece to study for next week, but I have to study the same piece at a slower tempo. I am fed up! i am at a point where muscle memory does everything, and it's difficult to stay with my mind on the score. I cant even think of spending another week on the same piece...Do you get a new piece every lesson or not? sorry for my rant
for some reason i had missed the previous two lessons (one lesson a week) so for the last THREE weeks I had been repeating the same two pieces the teacher had given me...A piece from Schumann Jugend Album + one of Heller's Etudes op 47. Pretty easy the former, not too difficult the latter, but tricky from a tempo/rhythm point of view. And my teacher observations were the same: tempo is not perfect, start and repeat S L O W E R. It was so slow any music was killed. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying she wasn't right! As I wrote in the past, I am having really hard time to keep my inner beat...simply I dont feel it. So my tempo is far from perfect. Then I left with no new piece to study for next week, but I have to study the same piece at a slower tempo.
