There’s a fine line between moving on too quickly and getting stuck chasing perfection. In this episode, we explore how piano teachers can decide when a student has truly completed a piece, why every piece doesn’t need performance-level polish, and how the purpose of the repertoire should guide your expectations. We’ll also look at what to do when a student gets stuck on the same piece for weeks—and how difficulty, repertoire choices, and practice support can affect their progress.
