I think you guys who teach singing etc have a much more difficult task than I do – or maybe I am not using enough resources ? I teach piano , I ask students to find recordings of exam pieces on YouTube but I have no idea how to record duet parts for example to send to students , which would be great if I could be I am not clever enough . Also i only use iPads and my phone – I don’t have access to anything Microsoft

I think as a teacher it is down to me to make sure all the preparations are done – there is a place for letting students just play , but I think it is down to the teacher to ask questions like – are your hands in the right place? – how many do you have to count in this piece ? , is there anything you need to remember throughout this piece? etc , before they begin and prompt’ don’t forget to count in’ etc , if you do it every time then it becomes the natural way to start the each time – start from the very first lesson .
