End of tutored lessons

I have ended my sessions with my tutor. I am unable to follow a metronome and hence cannot play a lot of songs in absolute correct pulse. I was not particularly fascinated with my tutor’s teaching methods. So I have decided that I shall progress at my own slow pace focussing on an outline of my own making. Let’s see how that turns out.

I have also realised I have a poor sense of pulse. In the ABRSM aural test clapping exercise (as demonstrated in YouTube videos), I often cannot figure out where the beats are and whether they are in 2 time or 3 time or 4 time.

Moreover, I also have a poor sense of pitch. In the ABRSM aural test echoing exercise, I absolutely cannot figure out what the chord is and what the starting pitch is.

So, there is a lot that I need to work on myself before I can take lessons. Which is why I have decided to terminate my lessons with a tutor.
