I have a dear student I've been teaching for 6 years. She's in her early 70s now and just becoming more and more frustrated with piano. I do my best to stay positive for her each week, but it's hard on me too to see her progress stagnate, or even regress.

I have been going very very slow with her, simplifying pieces, not being strict with tempo. Super gentle pieces and books.

I've run out of books and pieces I can give her that she enjoys, and that she can play.

I think it's not healthy for her to have this constant pressure and frustration each week, but I don't want her to feel like a failure. It's just time for her to "graduate" from this.

I've never done this before, how should I approach this with her? It breaks my heart, but it's better for her. I just don't know how to say it to her.

Has anyone tried this yet? Does it get rid of the tv lag?

I felt like when I was using detached joycons, even though I calibrated several times, I was not as accurate as I should've been.

And my tv is already in game mode

I feel very confident in my ability to follow the calibration instructions accurately, I'm a professional music teacher, so I don't think that's it..... 😔

Then when I changed to handheld it was SO much easier to get the rhythms.

I like playing on the couch, especially with co-op games, but I can't seem to hit that sweet spot for calibration.

If anyone has tried this and has it feel as good as handheld, then I'm going to immediately order fome 15 or 20ft USB cables for my pro controllers for when the full game comes out.

I'm playing on switch 2 if it matters.
