Do you get very frustrated doing scales?
Hey everyone, I'm sort of curious how common it is to get very irritated at the piano while learning and doing scales? I'm generally a very calm person, I don't feel anger often or at all in daily life, but I find myself getting very irritated when practicing piano scales. I'm only a beginner and practicing the last 14 months with a teacher, I feel good when I learn a piece or do hanon exercises, sure sometimes there are moments which are difficult or slightly frustrating. However when I'm doing or learning scales in particular I become deeply irritated and unsettled. Is this a normal experience?
