My goal is to help the student make progress without overloading them. I give chores after every lesson and make regular progress reports, and I don't want to be forced to eat spinach if I don't like it. My job as a teacher is to make offers and offer the widest possible range of different literature. Especially for children who are still very curious and eager to try things out. If a child is forced to learn a piece that it does not like at all, it will not be forgotten for life. Older students, on the other hand, simply stop practicing when they don't enjoy the pieces. Of course you can also negotiate a bit. If you explain the intention of the selection to a student, he is much more willing to learn a piece that does not appeal to him 100%. The whole piece does not necessarily have to be learned, a section often does too. Afterwards he will be rewarded with a particularly beautiful piece.
