Can you give me a rough estimation of how much time do i will have to wait until i can tackle some Chopin or Beethoven pieces (not the difficult ones, of course)?
2 years? more?
You should be able to play Chopin and Beethoven now. Have a look at some of Chopin's Preludes, as there are one or two easy ones there. (Others you will find impossible right now.) Listen to a CD of them if you are not sure which ones to try - I think you will hear which to start with, but you'll find them no less beautiful. Even the easier ones may prove to be a challenge, but where there is a will.... Likewise, Beethoven wrote some stuff you could consider looking at - I'm sure some kind soul will give you some leads to follow up, as I don't know specific examples. (I do have a book called
The Joy of Beethoven (Yorktown Music Press) whose first two dozen pages should offer you something to look at right now.)
Anyway, to me it seems that you are hungry for progress. What you have to realise above everything else is that progress does not occur because you sit in front of your piano for a prerequisite period of time. Progress occurs because you are 'driven' to progress. Something must have prompted you to take up the piano in the first place. Most likely it was hearing someone else play. You were most likely charmed by the consummate ease and facility with which this person was able to play, and you thought 'I'd like to do that'.
Now, three months on you may have temporarily mislaid that image about what you are trying to achieve. You've been given pieces you are perhaps not all that struck on (hate?) and been told to sit in front of the piano for an hour, repeating until you are told you can move on. Unfortunately, it really is no good waiting until that magic moment when you will 'suddenly' be able to play Chopin and Beethoven - it doesn't really happen this way.
Instead, you have to pro-actively seek the goal you want to achieve. Remember once again the consummate ease with which you observed someone else playing, and make it your objective to achieve this kind of ease in your own playing, even if it is with the pieces you dislike. Furthermore, choose pieces you want to play (here is where some recommendations from here will come in) and then give them a go. Show your teacher such a piece and ask for his/her help, preferably after having made a start.
In short, time practising, alone, will not get you to where you want to be. You need to practise efficiently (see this board for lost of information on this, and discuss with your teacher), you need to practise every day, and you need to work out exactly where you are going and be 'driven' to get there. If you can take charge of your own destiny then you should find yourself richly rewarded.
I hope that inspires you.
Richard.
