Most pianists who end up here are not beginners.
They already practice. They already care.
Effort isn’t the issue.
What stops progress is usually something subtle in technique, sound, or decision making. And no amount of repetition seems to fix it.
So here’s the real question.
When you practice, do you actually know what isn’t working
or do you just feel that something is off?
If you know exactly where things break down, keep observing.
If you don’t, that gap is usually where progress stalls.
No need to respond unless this lands close to home.
