⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

✗ Not verifying music accuracy—ChatGPT can make musical errors; double-check theory and notation

✗ Too many exercises overwhelm students—focus on 5-8 core exercises, not 20

✗ Neglecting backup tracks—backing tracks increase engagement and practice quality dramatically

✗ Vague learning objectives—'improve musicality' is vague; 'play with consistent tempo' is clear

✗ Skipping practice planning—students need structure; daily practice schedule increases completion 3x

✅ Expected Results

Complete, student-ready lesson with theory explanation, notation, exercises, backing tracks, practice plan, and assessment. Professional quality in 1/3 the traditional time.
