Before You Correct
Before You Correct
Before You Correct is a practical diagnostic guide for piano teachers who want to correct less — and teach more effectively.
In lessons, problems appear quickly. A student plays, something goes wrong, and the teacher must decide what to address first. Too often, corrections are given before the real issue is understood, leading to confusion, dependence, and slow progress.
This book focuses on the moment before correction.
It helps teachers identify where a problem truly lives — whether in listening, timing, movement, or understanding — before giving instructions, corrections, or exercises.
Inside, you will learn how to:
-
Diagnose problems instead of reacting to symptoms
-
Stop solving multiple issues at once
-
Ask questions that clarify rather than confuse
-
Recognize when silence is more effective than instruction
-
Guide students toward independent musical thinking
This is not a method book.
It is a way of thinking during lessons — when decisions matter most.

Details
Before You Correct is a practical guide for piano teachers who want to understand where a problem truly lives before attempting to fix it.
Many teaching frustrations do not come from lack of technique or effort, but from correcting the wrong thing at the wrong time. This book helps teachers slow the moment before intervention, so corrections become clearer, lighter, and more effective.
This is not a book of quick tips, exercises, or motivational shortcuts.
Instead, it focuses on clarity of thought, precise language, and structured diagnosis as the foundation of meaningful teaching and sustainable student progress.
Inside this book, you will explore:
- How to diagnose musical and technical problems before correcting them
- Why fixing multiple issues at once often slows improvement
- How to distinguish musical problems from physical or timing issues
- How to recognize when a student is guessing rather than understanding
- How interpretation begins before sound is produced
How to slow down thinking without creating dependence on slow practice
Before You Correct is written for teachers who value depth over speed, understanding over imitation, and long-term independence over short-term results.
