Set the goal together
One student may want to play a favourite tune, while another wants to improve reading skills. Discussing these expectations helps set the focus of lessons and the difficulty of the repertoire. Goals are reviewed as learning progresses.
Practise technique within music
Finger exercises are not just about speed. Balanced tone, comfortable movement and a controlled pulse matter too. Connecting a skill from a study to a passage in your repertoire helps you understand why you are practising it.
Notice concrete progress
A steadier rhythm, clearer separation of two voices or more independent practice planning are different signs of progress. Brief practice notes and goal reviews help make those changes visible. Instructor Omid Zamani’s biography and professional qualifications will be added once confirmed.
