I like to tailor my lessons to my students goals/needs. I want to make sure the technical studies we're doing (etudes, scales, pedagogue books) overlap and support the pieces we're trying to tackle as well!
Typically I like to start a lesson with asking what went well/ and what we need help with from our week of practice.
We move onto technique or scales to see how that's coming.
We then work on whatever pieces you're playing, and break down areas where we're having the most trouble.
We talk through performance practice of pieces and being able to take it to the next level.
Finally, the last 5 minutes or so I like to have us write down what our goals for the week are, how we're structuring our practice, and the expectations of what to bring next week.
I do have background growing up with Suzuki Method and teaching Suzuki method especially for beginners. I find it has many great ways to get students up and playing as quick as possible. However there's lot of great teaching methods out there and it's just one of them.
