Song pieces

How to guide

Usually to guide the learner pianist, we should provide the right and suitable fingerings for each piece of music and maybe the scales if necessary. The other person hearing the music or tutoring the learner pianist should help clap the tempo of the music based on what is stated in the score. The tutor should also monitor the pianist's fingering, the dynamics, articulations and other things whether they are correct or not. Although maybe everything sounds perfect, the pianist also must play the song livelier with confidence, accuracy and texture. When the song is meant to be soft, play it soft. When it is loud, play it loud. If the song is played without liveliness, people who hear it also will get bored hearing the song
