      And sometimes you get that lesson where you spent hours upon hours practicing and honing your technique, and yet, it still manages to sound like you are touching the piano for the first time in your life. Hits different, too, but not in a good way.

    This video has made me realize how good my current piano teacher is. He’s never rough on me and is very easygoing, I appreciate him a lot. My old piano teacher didnt really get me too engaged in the piano and make me learn the history about the pieces or the tempo and dynamics, and for that reason I think I would slack off more (its also worth noting I was younger then, so it might’ve been partly my fault-). I now enjoy the piano and music in general WAY more(often I’m very excited to have the lesson), I like playing more piano outside of practicing my homework, and it just goes to show how important teachers are. If you are never engaged, you’ll never play as well as you could be playing.

    number 4 is accurate... my piano teacher will go on about how a specific note in the piece needs to be more emotional or like an orchestra and more like something or whatever, and i try my best to understand what exactly she wants but then she finally just told me to hold a specific note a bit longer and it all made sense.. idk why she didnt just say that the first time tho :(

    I used to practice for 8 hours a day. Then I shattered my ulnar nerve, had to spend a year retraining my left hand to function somewhat normally and now can't play longer than 15 minutes before my hand inevitably cramps up very, VERY painfully! Ah, also two of my fingers are numb forever so I can't play as accurately or as fast or as well ever again.

      The trick is to spend less effort "stretching," and think instead about centering your wrist over the most comfortable position at any moment. The coda is certainly tricky, but it's a real trap for pianists who haven't mastered the kind of technique needed to play, say, op. 10 no. 1.
