A useful recommendation must be explainable
What do we play next? combines difficulty, skills and transition risk to suggest the next piece.
Principle

Start from the piece the student has just played

Good advice isn't just “easier” or “harder”. You need to know which skills are already there, what level gap is reasonable, and whether the style of the next work consolidates or destabilises.

1

Difficulty

Levels drawn from pedagogical sources are brought onto a common 0-to-100 scale, with an associated confidence.

2

Skills

Observations of technique, reading, rhythm, style and interpretation make visible what the work really develops.

3

Transition

Each suggestion is ranked by difficulty gap, skill overlap, risk and musical context.

An acknowledged limit

The score is not a verdict

A teacher remains essential to account for the hand, tempo, reading, motivation and musical goal. What do we play next? gives a verifiable starting point to prepare that discussion.
