One of the most important life lessons I have learned as a piano teacher is not to correct every mistake. At first, this may sound paradoxical. Isn’t that precisely why a student comes to a lesson?

Sometimes that dream begins in childhood, but life takes a different direction. The years pass, and you may find yourself thinking that the right moment has gone. The truth is that when it comes to music, it is never too late.

Almost all of them came with the same concern – whether they would be able to succeed. After the first few lessons, that...
