36-year-old female. Piano student for 13 months. On Level 2 Piano and Level 3 Theory. When I practice seven days a week, two to three hours a day, I never pass out of most of my lesson pages; however, when I practice 30 minutes to an hour, just three days a week, I ALWAYS pass out of my lesson songs and feel more relaxed at my lessons. Why this phenomenon?
(I’m not looking to play at Carnegie Hall because I’m too old for that; I’m just playing for leisure/pleasure and as a hobby.)
I don’t know why it happens, but I had the same thing happen to me. I had to memorize a monologue and I practiced all the time and never quite got it, then I dropped it for 2 weeks and when I tried again I got it. Maybe it’s because you’re not stressing about it or something.
