I was raised in a home and in a piano studio where praise was never given unless something unique and challenging had been accomplished. I also had a healthy dose of honest assessments of my progress in school and piano and I grew to appreciate this honesty more as time went by. In my opinion, kids sense insincerity a mile away and I think it’s a disservice to their intelligence and capability. If you look at star athletes, professional musicians or any one performing at a high level it’s because they have had discipline and a coach (or many) who have given them honest feedback and direction to mold what abilities they have. Give praise where it’s honestly due and constructive feedback where it’s needed, then you will grow a healthier musician.
