76. [encore] correcting notes....positively!

This episode got a re-record and an upgrade to explain how I help piano students fix notes in a positive way, and in a way that positively fixes that note more permanently in these common scenarios:

1. They realize It’s not right and fix it themselves immediately

2. They can hear something is wrong, but they can’t tell which note exactly

3. They know where the right note is, they just accidentally played a different one

4. They don’t realize the note is wrong. Either their ear says it sounds fine, or they mis-memorized…or both. They think it’s right, but it’s not.

That last one is the hardest to fix I think, but I’ll tell you exactly what I do in the lesson, and by extension how to practice at home more effectively.

How would you handle these situations?

Speaking of note-reading, also check out episode 75 [encore] about landmarks and intervals
