unlearning and relearning the piano with a better teacher
Learning to play the piano with proper technique is crucial to avoid the need for unlearning and re-learning in the first place. It can be a frustrating journey when you realize that you've been playing with bad technique or incorrect habits. This can happen when you first learn the piano without a teacher, or when you've been taught by someone who may not have been experienced enough to correct your technique. Fortunately, it's never too late to unlearn and re-learn the piano with the right guidance.

The process of unlearning and re-learning the piano requires patience, discipline, and a willingness to let go of old habits. It's important to maintain a qualified piano teacher who can identify the mistakes you've been making and guide you towards the correct technique. This may involve starting from scratch with basic exercises and scales to build proper finger and hand positioning, or breaking down complex pieces into smaller sections to focus on specific technical skills.
Unlearning and re-learning the piano can be a humbling experience, but it's also an opportunity to develop a stronger foundation for your playing. As you work with your teacher to correct your technique, you may find that you are able to play with greater ease and fluidity. This can also prevent injury or strain on your hands and wrists, which can occur when playing with incorrect technique over a long period of time.
It's important to remember that unlearning and re-learning the piano is a process, and progress may not happen overnight. Consistent practice and a positive attitude can help you overcome any frustration or setbacks along the way. By embracing the process of unlearning and re-learning, you can develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the piano, and achieve your goals as a musician.
