First, let me say I am an adult paying for my own lessons. I am much more interested in the process, rather than the result. I play for myself, and I guess for my piano teacher.
I like to sight read and explore new pieces, and I believe that unless I try to work on pieces that are really hard for me, I will never improve much or learn anything. So I secretly practice really difficult pieces. I used to bring them to the teacher, but it doesn't seem to matter what I play to her. She often selects easy pieces for me, which are boring unless they are Shubert or something nice. Probably she is trying to give me "confidence", but I don't care so much about that. Or maybe she doesn't even notice. (I am so bored with Fur Elise!)
Anyway, I think I will stop bringing my difficult pieces to her, and see if she can figure out what I am doing. In other words I want to see if she will eventually stumble on to a difficult piece I have secretly mastered.
Is it a nice game?
