The collector already has an entire library of books at home. However, he has not yet worked through any of them from cover to cover. Because in his search for a shortcut to learning to play the piano as quickly as possible, he is constantly buying new teaching materials. Through the investment he makes, he convinces himself that he will then actually make progress.
“This is a mistake, because investing money alone has never taught anyone to play the piano.”
Investment in the form of time and patient practice are the key to success. A teaching aid is, of course, the right product for this, but only if you spend time with it regularly and with concentration.
In my interactive piano courses, I offer a huge number of videos in which I explain everything in great detail. But no one has ever learned to play the piano just by watching videos.
“Only by actively engaging with the material does the learning process begin.”
My recommendation
Focus on a single teaching resource. Work with it for at least 3 months — and exclusively. Make sure that the teaching material/piano course matches your playing level.
P.S.: By the way, I myself am a typical collector. How many books and courses I have bought… They did help me, but focusing on the essentials would certainly have been more helpful even back then. People who collect gain a lot of knowledge from books or digital products. They are used to acquiring knowledge on their own, but often lose sight of the big picture. For this reason, it makes sense for them to discuss their goals with a piano teacher or piano educator. This will help them stay focused and ensure that their goals are achieved.
