Dynamics and articulation can make playing music a bit tricky.

The differences between loud ($piano$) and soft ($forte$) sounds can be hard for students to show the right feelings in their music.

Plus, styles like staccato (short and sharp notes) and legato (smooth and connected notes) need a lot of practice, which can be frustrating at times.

Challenges:

• Getting dynamics wrong.
• Not being consistent with articulation, which can hurt the performance.

Solutions:

• Spend time practicing dynamics.
• Use pictures or charts in lessons to help understand.
