I took piano lessons ( long time ago) and was a hapless student.
One day she played my lesson and said (playing the piano) "This is the way that you play it."
And then she said (playing the piano) "This is the way it should be played."
And I, as a person with a Master's degree in music theory, said I could hear absolutely no difference.
Some things cannot be taught.
And it probably explains why my wife, who teaches 50 piano students a week, refused to give me lessons ;-)
