Understanding musical phrasing can be tough for musicians, and this can make it hard to connect with their audience.

Many pianists find it hard to show emotions and changes in volume, which can lead to performances that feel dull. Here are some common problems they face:

• Inconsistent phrasing: If the music lacks a clear structure, people may lose interest.
• Lack of emotional interpretation: Focusing only on playing the notes right can make listeners feel left out.
• Overlooking dynamics: If musicians forget to add expressive details, the music can sound flat and boring.

To fix these problems, pianists can:

• Spend time learning about phrasing techniques.
• Try out different levels of loudness while practicing.
• Ask for feedback to improve how they express emotions, helping them connect better with their audience.
