    Everytime I come onto this subreddit, I see so many amazing artists and players that I often get discouraged. I am currently hitting my third month of piano, and I’ve been diligently learning everything I can. I’ve reportedly bought several music theory books, and I’ve spent countless hours awake at night watching videos. It seems like a lot to learn, scales, chords, music theory, and etc., but I’m doing my best to keep up. I basically just want some help, or reassurance that my efforts will eventually reap rewards where I’m able to play masterpieces. My piano teacher currently has me playing I think 12 measures of Johann Bach’s Minuet. I’ve learned to play it well within about 4 days. I oftentimes don’t feel challenged enough with her homework. I love playing piano, and I don’t see myself getting burnt out on it anytime soon. With that said, should I ask her for a little heavier work load, or perhaps a piece that’s a little above my skill level that I have to learn to play? Let me know what you guys think, and also maybe let me know of some good ways to keep feeling challenged.

    Hello Heera As I can see You are frustrated and not enjoying the piano. You should start with the song you mostly love. You need to stick with that song untill you get the perfection other way is you need to join classes for the piano learning It will reduce your frustration. On reddit peoples have years of experience you just need to concentrate. Hope it helps you
