How many pieces at once?
on: December 19, 2016, 10:00:53 PM
Hi,
I'm beginner-intermidiate piano student and my I'm usually working with my teacher on few pieces at once, a few months ago it was Mozart's Turkish March, Joplin's The Entertainer, some arrangment of Schubert's Ave Maria(pretty hard one), Bach's air on g string and Bach's prelude in c major(not that hard actually). Did you work at that many pieces at once and is it normal?
Thanks for answer in advance.

I'm not sure this is the answer you are looking for, but for me 'it depends' is the right answer: how long the repertoire is, how difficult it is to master and how much time I have to practice..... another variable, always, is where I am with learning each piece: new and struggling vs. reasonable and 'polishing'. I can handle more in the 'polishing' rather the 'new to me and struggling' phase.
I would recommend that you think about whether what you are doing is too much
for your personal circumstances
: if it is, discuss with your teacher about putting something 'on hold' until you feel like you can accomplish something by working on it. If not 'keep on, keeping on' . We all have different amounts of time for practice, and different numbers of current repertoire from each other.
